BEAM LOADING DATA FOR GLASS REINFORCED VINYL ESTER RESIN
Loading Information
Beam Loads:
The above charts list the total allowable uniform load for various simple spans based on a minimum safety factor of 2. If the load is
concentrated at center span, multiply the load from the above charts by 0.5 and the corresponding deflection by 0.8.
All beams should be supported in a manner to prevent rotation at supports. Long, deep beams should be tied between supports to prevent twist.
For channels with holes or slots use 90% of recommended load shown in channel loading chart.
