BEAM LOADING – PS 200 2T3 COLUMN LOADING – PS 200 2T3
*Load limited by spot weld shear.
For concentrated load at center of span, divide uniform load by 2 and multiply
corresponding deflection by 0.8. This load table is based on a solid channel section.
For pierced section, PS200 EH 2T3, reduce beam load values by 15%.
