2. Cable railing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_railing

   For 36” posts or 42" posts, 4 feet of spacing (center to center) is recommended to minimize deflection between the cables when pushing a 4" ball in between two cables. To accommodate such standards, railing projects may incorporate 3 ½" or less of spacing between cables taking into account the cable deflection caused by the posts spacing.

3. Beam bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_bridge

   Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported.

4. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

   In civil engineering, clearance refers to the difference between the loading gauge and the structure gauge in the case of railroad cars or trams, or the difference between the size of any vehicle and the width/height of doors, the width/height of an overpass or the diameter of a tunnel as well as the air draft under a bridge, the width of a lock or diameter of a tunnel in the case of watercraft.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessels displacement (obtained from ships stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is loaded ...

7. Span (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Span_(engineering)

   In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span): [1] A span can be closed by a solid beam or by ...
