Beam and Joist Reaction Summary

This output provides a listing of the reactions of every gravity beam and joist in the structure. This can be very useful in designing connections. The output includes:

  • The beam ID number
  • The beam or joist size
  • The coordinates of the supports
  • The dead load reaction
  • The positive reduced live load reaction
  • The negative reduced live load reaction
  • The total positive reaction
  • The total negative reaction

All reactions are unfactored reactions, except TOTAL, which are either factored or unfactored, as specified by the user and indicated on the Report.
