Bearing and Reactions Table
Title
If the full detailed bearing results are shown, it is now called
Maximum Reactions (unit), Bearing Capacities (unit), and Bearing Lengths (unit).
All the section titles in the output, e.g. LOADS, are to be changed to title case from all caps.
Capacity
The program shows the factored bearing for both the beam and the support. This capacity is in the same units as the bearing reaction, that is, if you have selected Express reactions as UDL, it is in plf, using the joist spacing to convert.
Anal/Des
This is the lowest value of factored reaction / factored capacity for any load combination, for both the Beam and Support capacity.
It now says “Joist” if it is a joist member.
Load Combination
This applies to the critical load combination used for the Anal/Des
Length
This is the designed or user-input bearing length along the main member, taking into account your settings for rounding bearing lengths.
If the program uses the minimum bearing length from the Design Settings, an asterisk appears along with the following note below the table, using ½” as an example input:
*Minimum bearing length setting used: ½” for end supports [ and ½” for exterior supports]
Min reqid
In most cases, the minimum required bearing length for capacity to equal reaction.
Exception: If the design setting that indicates you use the absolute minimum allowed bearing (also input in the design settings) to calculate design span, and that value is greater than the calculated minimum, it appears here. An asterisk is placed by the number, referring to the same note indicated above for Length, as shown below
Width
This line is shown only if one or more of the bearing widths are not the same as the main member width. For those supports that have “Same as beam” selected as the bearing width the output shows the actual width of beam
Cb
This is the bearing factor Cb for the main member bearing length.
Cb min
This is the bearing factor Cb applied to the minimum bearing length, which can be different than the designed bearing length.
Cb support
This is the bearing bearing factor Cb applied to the main member bearing width for beams and sill plates that are assumed to run perpendicular to the main member.
Fc/Fcp sup
This is the Fcp value for support beams, sill plates and walls
Non-wood supports
For “Hanger” and “Other non-wood” supports, the program prints a dash in place of capacity, Cb factor, and Anal/Des for supports
Show detailed bearing results setting
A checkbox setting has been added to the Settings Page under Preferences | Beam and Column Mode Options named
Include detailed bearing results
If unchecked then, in the Bearing subsection of he Reactions and Bearing Table, only the length, width ( if applicable) and minimum length is output.
If checked, the bearing subsection contains additional information including capacity of beam and supports, the load combination number, and Cb factors.
Minimum bearing Length Note
When the supporting member governs, a note with two asterisks appears saying
Minumum bearing length governed by required width of the supporting member.
This note appears only when “unknown' is chosen for bearing length.
Materials specification
The materials for the supports are shown below the main member materials as a list within a sentence below the main material specification.
It shows the specific material like Glulam Unbalanced or Lumber n-ply rather than the general class of material like Lumber or Glulam.
Warning message
If any of the bearing capacities are greater than resistance, i.e. the Anal/Design ratio is greater than 1.005, the program displays a bearing warning along with the other design criterion messages.
