Question 1887 Deck Safety
70% to passThe usual depth of a beam bracket is _______________.
A
5 times the depth of the beam
B
2 1/2 times the depth of the beam
C
same depth as the beam
D
10 times the depth of the beam
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 1/2 times the depth of the beam. The depth of a beam bracket is typically 2 1/2 times the depth of the beam it is supporting. This is a common rule of thumb used in maritime engineering and construction to ensure the bracket has sufficient strength and rigidity to properly support the beam. The other options are incorrect - option A would make the bracket too deep, option C would make it the same depth as the beam which is not enough, and option D would make it excessively deep.
