Question 1

What is a beam calculator?

Accepted Answer

A beam calculator is a tool that helps engineers and students analyze structural beams by calculating shear forces, bending moments, reactions, and deflections. It's essential for structural design and analysis.

Question 2

How to calculate beam reactions?

Accepted Answer

Beam reactions are calculated using equilibrium equations. For a simply supported beam, sum of vertical forces equals zero and sum of moments equals zero. Our calculator automatically handles these calculations.

Question 3

What is SFD and BMD?

Accepted Answer

SFD stands for Shear Force Diagram and BMD stands for Bending Moment Diagram. SFD shows the variation of shear force along the beam length, while BMD shows the variation of bending moment.

Question 4

Is this beam calculator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our beam calculator is completely free to use. You can perform unlimited calculations for shear force, bending moment, reactions, and deflection analysis without any cost.
