Frequently Asked Questions – Beam Load Calculator
This calculator assumes simply supported beam conditions (pinned support at one end, roller support at the other). For fixed or cantilever beams, different calculations would be needed.
Calculations use standard beam theory formulas and provide good estimates for preliminary design. For final designs, always consult structural engineering standards and consider factors like safety margins, creep, and dynamic effects.
Point load is concentrated at one location (like a column). Uniform load is evenly distributed (like floor weight). Triangular load varies linearly (like hydrostatic pressure).
This indicates your beam may fail! Consider increasing dimensions, changing material, or reducing load. Always include safety factors (typically 1.5-3x) in actual designs.
For complex loading, calculate each load type separately and use superposition principle (add results). Professional software may be needed for advanced cases.
