Beam Static Calculation

Calculation units

Choose units for inputs and results (kN/m² or ton/m²).

1 ton = 9.80665 kN (metric ton-force).

L: span or cantilever length; total length is shown on the schematic for multi-span types.

Selected support scheme (matches L1…Ln inputs)

Span lengths

Span length in metres. For continuous beams, L is one span; total length = 2·L.
Area load (e.g. slab/deck). Line load is w = q × b as shown in the diagram below.
Distributed load is entered as kN/m² or ton/m²; line load w = q × b.

Area load to line load conversion

q (kN/m²) b (m) × w (kN/m) Beam (line load w)

w = q × b

Point loads

Enter multiple P and position a values. Empty rows are ignored.

Sections to report (M and V)

Moments and shear at supports and/or user-defined x positions are listed in the results.

Separate with commas or semicolons. Must be within total length.
Structural steel grade shown on the report (yield strength reference).
Profile designation: IPE (I-beam), HEA (H-beam) are standard hot-rolled sections.
