Wooden Hatch Beams and Fore-and-afters of Rectangular Cross Section

The scantlings of rectangular cross section hatch beams or fore-and-afters, exclusive of tongue (if fitted), is obtained from the formula:

(B× D2) / 98322 = (S × L2) / 113

where

B =
breadth of beam or fore-and-after, in millimetres
D =
depth of beam or fore-and-after, in millimetres
S =
spacing of beams or fore-and-afters, in millimetres
L =
length of unsupported span, in metres.

The following table shows size of wooden hatch beams or fore-and-afters in accordance with the above formula, for hatch openings up to 3050 mm × 3660 mm:
