Span Information

Beam Coordinates: These are the coordinates at both ends of the beam.
Beam Depth Limitation Specified: If a beam depth limitation has been specified, it will be listed.
Beam Size: This is the designed beam size. It is either the optimum size selected by RAM Steel or the user selected size.
Steel Nominal Yield Strength (Fy): This is the engineer specified nominal yield strength for the beam.
Steel Design Yield Strength (Fy): This is the design yield strength according to the steel grade and the rules of Table 6-3 in the CISC Handbook of Steel Construction 7^th edition, 10^th edition, and 11^11th edition of the CAN/CSA S16-01, S16-09, and S16-14 codes respectively.
Grade: This is the designated grade for the section. Refer to the documentation on RAM Manager for more information on how the grade is determined.
Beam Length: This is the total length of the beam measured from the centerline of supports. When cantilevers are present, the length of the cantilever and its orientation (right or left) from the beam, is also shown.
