Those two coefficients can vary depending on the building code regime. The calculation is then made for a given beam material, size, and spacing to get the maximum deflection (sag) under that load.

In particular, in practical circumstances of slender beams, it is found that even at central transverse deflections of the order of the beam thickness, the load carrying capacity is considerably ...

Fixed beam structures are widely used in engineering, and a common problem is determining the load conditions of these structures resulting from impact loads. In this study, a method for accurately ...

Northern Arizona University won the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute’s  PCI) 2025 Big Beam Competition, a nationwide ...
