What is Span To Depth Ratio?

The Span To Depth Ratio (STD) is a measure used in engineering and construction to determine the proportion between the span length and the depth of a structural element. It helps in assessing the structural efficiency and stability of beams, bridges, and other similar structures.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Divide the span length by the total depth:

\[ STD = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \]

The Span To Depth Ratio (STD) is 6 ft/ft.
