How it works
Find maximum bending moment and support reactions for a uniformly loaded simply supported beam.
Who it's for: Structural analysts designing beams under distributed loads.
M_max = qL²/8 for uniform load q over span L.
Support reaction R = qL/2 at each end.
q in kN/m; L in meters.
How to use
- Enter Load q (kN/m) and Span L (m).
- Read M_max and Reaction R.
