The data shown in the beam load charts for appropriate channels on page(s) 16 thru 37 is for simply supported, single span beams

with a uniformly distributed load. For other loading and/or support conditions, use the appropriate factor from the chart below.

EXAMPLES:

PROBLEM: PROBLEM:

Calculate the maximum allowable load and corresponding

deflection of a simply supported B22 beam with a concentrated deflection of a cantilever B52 beam with a uniformly distributed

load at midspan as shown. load.

SOLUTION: SOLUTION:

From beam load chart for B22 (page 22), maximum allowable From beam load chart for B52 (page 33), maximum allowable

Load is A and the corresponding deflection is B. load is A and the corresponding deflection is B.

Multiplying by the appropriate factors shown in the chart above. Multiplying by the appropriate factors shown in chart above.
