Cross Beam and Support Column Design for Trench

This particular cross beam will be supported on trench wall by one side and other by supporting short
column. This Design Calculation will provide structural detailing requirements according to it's intended
use in due. This Cross Beam will support the Concrete Trench Covers at the two l ocations as shown below.
