im looking for a reference book or something that can give me help with steel and it’s strength.
For example how much load could a 3mm wall 25mm square piece of box section take before deforming.
I know that’s a very vague example but I just wondered if there is anything available to give you a guide.
I’ve got a few things project wise and it would be handy to have a general idea on how strong different profiles are at different thicknesses etc.
Don’t want to madly over engineer something and spend money on a certain size when I could use smaller and cheaper materials.
Thanks.
