lasersandwich :
It's counterintuitive for me. I'm imagining bending a ruler. It's a lot easier to bend a ruler along the flat side than along the edge. Each beam is made up of three rulers, the only difference is two flat one edge, or one flat two edge. I would think the one with more flats will be easier to bend

Half may get it wrong, but if even one engineer got it wrong, they shouldn't be an engineer.

I didnt fail cuz I picked the right one and rotated it

I feel like this is just common sense

Can someone actually explain? The right one has double the vertical ones so it should be stronger

you never see a building with I beams installed sideways

right one is harder

Ellie Storm :
a horizontal board in that orientation is easier to bend/flex vs 1 vertical board in the same flex. left: 2 horizontal and 1 vertical right: 1 horizontal and 2 verticals Intuitively, the right will seem harder to bend.

Never seen one on it’s side so common sense says the left

fun fact: jet fuel doens't melt steel beams!

Dominic Abela :
If you remove the middle and stack the two sides together - it would be so easy to bend the left side and very difficult to bend the right side. So surely adding the middle doesn’t change that?

I would like to see this put to test because the right beam has 2 uprights vs 1 on the left which to me would be harder to bend

I mean, all I did was think of how these beams are always installed and assumed it had more strength oriented that way.

None of them is actually correct. Im harder

Joe Kline :
It would be cool if you showed the math on this. I don’t think it’s intuitive at all. I get it because the beam is oriented in the “I” position when it’s being used. But if I knew nothing about I beams, I would’ve guessed the one on the right would be more resistant to bending.

dang it I picked the right one

I’ve never heard it explained like that but it’s a great way to explain it 👍🏼

It’s called an I beam and not an H beam for a reason

I chose the one in right as the one that cant be bent, then I thought you are wrong for saying that at the end 😭😭🥀🥀

I picked the correct one bc that’s how it looks in my basement 💀

Tosiek11 :
Im not an engineer but if the right one has 2 vertical parts and 1 horizontal, wouldnt that mean its harder to bend? the horizontal parts are easier to bend and the left one has more of them

they're called I beams and not h beams for a reason
