End reaction and intermediate reaction values based on bearing lengths of 1 3/4" and 3 1/2" respectively. Please see IBCO report for higher reaction values based on wider bearing lengths.
Reaction and moment values are based on 100% duration of load. Adjustments for various load durations are permitted when applicable by code.
