) + (1200 mm – 0,4 x H)
where
K = 1600 mm/s
H : Height of the lowest beam from the floor (max. 1000 mm).
Here, S is the distance from the hazardous point to the farthest protec-
tive beam.
The above calculation guidelines summarize the basic regulations and
standards. For details, please refer to the applicable standard.
