Deflection - Continuous Beam - Two Equal Spans - Concentrated Load At Center Of One Span:

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 deflection on a continuous beam with two equal spans with a concentrated load at center of one span.

Length of span (l - ft or m)

Concentrated load (P - kips or kN)

Enter Moment of Inertia of beam (I - in^4 or mm^4)

Enter the Moment of Elasticity (E - ksi or MPa)*

*For Steel E = 29000 ksi (199948 MPa)

Output:

dmax =
