Stress Analysis for the Beam Supporting the Radial Gate of the Medium Outlet of the Baise WRPP

The beam supporting the radial gate of the medium outlet of the Basie WRPP is a deep beam,with an average net span of 6.66m,a depth of 5.0m and span depth ratio of 1.33,being supported by the two piers at the ends.The stresses are analysed for various spans and support patterns of the beam,the results are compared with the finite element methods.The differences among them are also stated in this paper,for making convenient references to designing.
