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

  1. Enter Load q (kN/m) and Span L (m).
  2. Read M_max and Reaction R.
