    Beam Strength Question

    If I had a carbon steel beam approximately 24"x1.25"x3/8" and fixed through both smallest faces to two separate steel walls, could an average human stand on the center of one of the faces of the beam with the largest surface area without causing the beam to bend substantially?

    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
