Determination of maximum safe spanCalculated section modulus of plank = 0.24 For a 36" span - loading capacity = 356 psf plank center load capacity = 269#
Deflection test with 50# load at center of plank36" span - deflection = 3/32" = 0.09" (60 psf live load) 36" span - allowable 36/360 deflection = 0.10"
Strong Decking suitable for a 36" span with a SF loading of 60 psfA 24" span is recommended to produce a more rigid deck with a higher center point loading.
