2. TABLE

BEAM SPAN (m) REQUIRED POINT LOAD FOR 2 CM RATIO (LOAD VS LOAD OF THE 4 m SPAN
DEFORMATION (kN) BEAM)
4 0.0612 1
5 0.0313 0.5114
6 0.0181 0.2957
8 0.00765 0.125
10 0.00392 0.064

3. QUESTIONS

- How does it compare with the explanation given in the book?


The results coincide with the explanation studied; according to this, when we have
two beams of different sizes, it is the small one that receives the greatest force. The
greater the difference in length, the greater the difference in the distributed forces.

- Which combinations results in a two-way system? Which tend to produce a one-way


system?
The case where the beams have the same length (4x4 m), results in a two-way
system.
The rest of the combinations tends to a one-way system.
