Span is a section between two intermediate supports, e.g. of a beam or a bridge. A span can be made of a solid beam or of a rope. The first kind of span is used for bridges, the second one used for power lines, overhead telecommunication lines, some type of antennas or for aerial tramways. The span is a significant factor in finding the strength and size of a beam as it determines the maximum bending moment and deflection.

  • Span is a section between two intermediate supports, e.g. of a beam or a bridge. A span can be made of a solid beam or of a rope. The first kind of span is used for bridges, the second one used for power lines, overhead telecommunication lines, some type of antennas or for aerial tramways. The span is a significant factor in finding the strength and size of a beam as it determines the maximum bending moment and deflection. The maximum bending moment and deflection in the pictured beam is found using: moment: Mmax = 1/8 · q · L deflection: fmax = 5/48 · Mmax· L / (E · I) From this it follows that if the span is doubled, the maximum moment (and with it the stress) will increase four times, and deflection will increase sixteen times. For remarkable long-distance rope spans, used as power line, antenna or for aerial tramways, see List of spans.
  • En ingeniería suele utilizarse la palabra luz para designar la distancia entre apoyos de una viga, un puente o elementos constructivos análogos sometidos a flexión predominante, en los que tal distancia resulta relevante desde el punto de vista resistente: El momento flector de cargas puntuales es proporcional a la luz. El momento flector de cargas distribuidas, como el peso propio, suele ser proporcional al cuadrado de la luz.
  • Een overspanning is de ruimte die door een dragend constructie deel wordt overbrugd. Exacter gezegd, wordt er met een overspanning bedoeld de afstand tussen twee steunpunten. De precieze afstand tussen die twee steunpunten wordt d.m.v. een berekening bepaald en geeft de theoretische overspanning voor die situatie.
  • Vão é o termo utilizado em engenharia e arquitectura para designar a distância entre os apoios consecutivos de uma estrutura, como uma ponte, uma viga, um cabo eléctrico, etc. Designa também a abertura ou intervalo numa parede para a colocação de janela ou porta.
  • Spann betecknar den del av en bro som återfinns mellan två stödpunkter.
