Verified subset only. ISMB 200: DATASET NOT AVAILABLE. ISA unsymmetric bending OUT OF SCOPE.

Shear method

Peak shear acceptance is NOT EVALUATED; average estimates require review.

Support positions & conditions

Free beam ends need no support entry. Pin and roller both constrain vertical displacement; axial action OUT OF SCOPE.

Deflection criterionNotes

Linear elastic, prismatic, small-deflection analysis. Lateral restraint and shear-centre loading require review. No structural-code capacity certification.
