Beam Load Calculator

Calculate the maximum bending moment and shear force on a simply supported beam.

* Beam Length in feet; Uniform Load in lb/ft.

Step 1: Enter Beam Data

Enter the beam length in feet.

Enter the load distributed along the beam (lb/ft).

Formulas:
Maximum Bending Moment, M = (w × L²) ÷ 8
Maximum Shear Force, V = (w × L) ÷ 2
