Simple Beam - Uniform Load Partially Distributed At Each End:

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 a partially distributed uniform load at each end.

Length of span (l - ft or m)

Uniform load (w1 - lbs/ft or N/m)

Uniform load (w2 - lbs/ft or N/m)

Length of applied load (a - ft or m)

Length between loads (b - ft or m)

Length of applied load (c - ft or m)

Output:

R1 = V1 =

R2 = V2 =

Mmax =
