Simple Beam - Two Unequal Concentrated Loads Unsymmetrically Placed:

Calculation:

Designer/Checker:

Input:

Metric Units

(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)

AISC Steel Design Manual, Table 3-23:

The following is for calculating the maximum shear and moment loads on a simple beam with two unsymmetrically placed unequal concentrated loads.

Length of span (l - ft or m)

Concentrated load (P1 - kips or kN)

Concentrated load (P2 - kips or kN)

Distance from end to first load (a - ft or m)

Distance from other load to other end (b - ft or m)

Output:

R1 = V1 =

R2 = V2 =

M1 =

M2 =
