*Not recommended - KL/r exceeds 200
** For these loads, the uniform beam capacity is lower than the L/240 or L/360 beam capacity and is therefore the governing constraint.
*** Load limited by spotweld shear
| NOTES
- The beam capacities shown above include the weight of the strut beam. The beam weight must be subtracted from these capacities to arrive at the net beam capacity.
- Allowable beam loads are based on a uniformly loaded, simply supported beam. For capacities of a beam loaded at midspan at a single point, multiply the beam capacity by 50% and deflection by 80%
- The above chart shows beam capacities for strut without holes. For strut with holes, multiply by the following: KO by 82%, RS 3/4 by 85%, RS 9/16 by 88%, OS by 88%, OS3 by 90%.
