Deciding on which one is the best structural shape is not straight forward (and probably not possible) since being able to resist high loads is only the beginning of the analysis. In this video, we (attempt to) analyze and rank the most common structural shapes. Our analysis takes a fixed area to compare various shapes in terms of bending, buckling, torsion, symmetry, and workability. <br> <br>00:00 - Intro <br>00:58 - Analysis Criteria <br>04:01 - I-Beam (Wide Flange) <br>05:34 - Rectangular <br>07:47 - Circular <br>09:57 - Channel <br>11:17 - Tee <br>12:04 - Angle <br>12:59 - Analysis Results and Discussion <br>14:13 - Sponsorship! <br> <br>This video was sponsored by Brilliant!
