BTB was tested at the SECCM building under a concentrated load machine. Our beam was able to resist up to 301 Ibs, while weighing 1.33 Ibs. Stiffeners were added for additional support. One aspect that we could’ve done better, was to increase the depth of the beam to be able to take more load. The efficiency of our beam was 226.31
