Applied Loads

The following tables list all the applied loads used in SpanMan. The deflection reduction means members supporting these loads will have their span ratio deflection limit divided by this amount. Thus a number greater than 1 decreases the defleciton limit (producing smaller members) while a number less than 1 increases the deflection limit (producing larger members).
