Case example:
  • given: Ceiling thickness (18 cm) + Cross beam distance (75 cm)
  • searched: Yoke beam distance + support distance
  • 1 Ceiling thickness: 18 cm
  • 2 Cross beam distance: 75 cm
  • 3 Allowed yoke beam distance according to table 1 = 2.65 m.
  • 4 equals or choose the next lower yoke beam distance in the table 2: 2.50 m
  • 5 in table 2 column 2.5 according to ceiling thickness (18 cm) read the allowed support distance: 1.36 m
  • 6 Attention: Supports have to be controlled in terms of corresponding load capacity!

    The deflection of beams is limited to L/500.
    Traffic load 1,5 kN/m² or 20% of fresh concrete weight.
