Beam Load Calculator
Calculate maximum bending moment, shear force, and deflection for a simply supported beam under a uniform load.
Formulas:
For a simply supported beam with uniform load:
Maximum Bending Moment:
M_max = w × L² / 8
Maximum Shear Force:
V_max = w × L / 2
Maximum Deflection:
δ_max = (5 × w × L⁴) / (384 × E × I)
Where:
w = uniform load (kN/m)
L = beam length (m)
E = Modulus of Elasticity (Pa)
I = Moment of Inertia (m⁴)
M_max = Maximum bending moment (kN·m)
V_max = Maximum shear force (kN)
δ_max = Maximum deflection (m)
