  2. 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 ...

  4. Span (category theory) - Wikipedia

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

    There is a trivial span A ← A → B, where the left map is the identity on A, and the right map is the given map φ. If M is a model category , with W the set of weak equivalences , then the spans of the form X ← Y → Z , {\displaystyle X\leftarrow Y\rightarrow Z,} where the left morphism is in W, can be considered a generalised morphism ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_and_hanger_assembly

    Attempts have been made to increase the safety of bridges with pin and hanger assemblies by adding some form of redundancy to the assembly. Retrofits that add redundancy to pin and hanger assemblies include adding a "catcher's mitt"‍—‌a short steel beam attached to the bottom of the cantilevered girder that extends out beneath the suspended girder to "catch" the suspended girder should ...

    The height of the ribs and beams should be 1 ⁄ 25 of the span between columns. [3] The width of the solid area around the column should be 1 ⁄ 8 of the span between columns. Its height should be the same as the ribs. [3] Diagram showing waffle slab rib and Beam Heights rule of thumb formulas.

  8. Hammerbeam roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerbeam_roof

    A hammer-beam is a form of timber roof truss, allowing a hammerbeam roof to span greater than the length of any individual piece of timber.In place of a normal tie beam spanning the entire width of the roof, short beams – the hammer beams – are supported by curved braces from the wall, and hammer posts or arch-braces are built on top to support the rafters and typically a collar beam.
