| Specimen Identification: FP means the beam is a folded plate. | |||||
| Beam 1, Beam 2, Beam 3: shows the failure load. The failure load is when the beam collapsed. | |||||
The failure load is not always the same because the different beams had different weaknesses. |
|||||
Average: shows the average of the failure loads. The average is found by adding the three failure load results together and dividing it by three.
