For high velocity zones, convert to 130 MPH spans, <br />2. Above spans do not Include length of knee brace. Add horizontal length of knee brace to above spans for total beam spans. <br />Example: To calcualate maximum span 'L' at 140 MPH wind velocity for: <br />2" x 4" x 0.050" hollow section with Load Width = 65' and 4 span Overhang Condition <br />1. Find 'L' at 120 MPH: L = 6'-11" <br />2, Convert 'L' to decimal feet: L = 6'-11" = 6.92' <br />3. Select the appropriate multiplier from the conversion table found on the <br />specification sheet at the beginning of this section. <br />- if the spant Is followed by 'b' use Bending multiplier, <br />. If the span is followed by 'd' use Deflection multiplier. <br />4. Multiply 'L' in decimal feet by appropriate multiplier. <br />'L' at 140 MPH is 6,92' x O,S7 = 5.45' = 5'-5" <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />Lawrence E. Bennett, P.
