| − | The allowable span which a carrier can have so that it will not collapse depends on three things (for an overwiev see figure 1):
| |
| | | | |
| − | <p>+ its cross-section geometry (see examples below in the geometry part)</p>
| |
| − | <p>+ its material (steel, wood or reinforced concrete)</p>
| |
| − | <p>+ on how you will apply the load on it (is the weight in the middle of the carrier or at one side)</p>
| |
| − | Remember: '''NEVER''' use concrete or similar materials like stone without reinforcements of steel or similar for a carrier! The possibility that it will colappse is almost certain!
| |
| − | <p>You can see an overview of a common problem involving a carrier as it would be used for a roofing or for hanging other loads for instance meat.</p>
