NOTES:

  1. The standard top flange reinforcement is WWF 8x4-W2.9/W2.9, and the maximum safe uniform load on the flange with this reinforcement is 80 psf. The maximum safe concentrated load is 500 lbs.
  2. Interpolation between values shown is acceptable.  Do not extrapolate values into the blank spaces of the table.
  3. These Span-Load Tables are intended as an aid to preliminary sizing. Sound engineering judgement is required for the application of this information to specific design cases.
  4. Values in the lower left of the table in bold type represent conditions where shear reinforcement is required. See SHEAR in "Design Criteria..." for discussion.
  5. See "Design Criteria..." for definitions of HIGHLIGHTING. Highlighting not visible on printed copy (screen only).
