Simple Beam - Concentrated Load At Any Point:

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 concentrated load at any point.

Length of span (l - ft or m)

Concentrated load (P - kips or kN)

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

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

Output:

R1 = V1 =

R2 = V2 =

Mmax =
