Additional notes accompany the provided information
For beams surpassing 95mm in depth, the published characteristic value for bending should be multiplied by (95/d)^0.154, where d represents the depth of the beam. In the case of tension members with the largest cross-sectional dimension surpassing 150mm, the published characteristic value for tension should be multiplied by (150/d)^0.167, where d denotes the largest cross-sectional dimension of the tension member.
