SINGLE-SPAN BEAM ANALYSIS

For Simple, Propped, Fixed, or Cantilever Beams

Job Number: Originator: Subject:

Date: Checker:
The drop-down beams consider bending in the strong axis direction only.
To consider a beam not in the drop-down, choose "User defined" c
Input Data: and enter your own Ix & Sx below e
Beam Data: Simple Beam b
Span Type? Simple a
Span, L = 4.0833 ft. Propped Beam +P +M +we
Modulus, E = 29000 ksi +wb
Size: User defined Fixed Beam +w
Inertia, Ix = 12.31 in.^4 E,I L
Sec. Mod. Sx = 4.24 in.^3 Cantilever Beam RL x RR
User defined Ix = 12.31 in.^4 Enter your values for Ix &

Distributed: b (ft.) wb (kips/ft.) e (ft.) we (kips/ft.) RL = 4.54 k RR = 4.54 k
#1: ML = N.A. MR = N.A.
#2: Maximum Moments:
#3: +M(max) = 4.63 ft-k @x= 2.04 ft.
#4: -M(max) = 0.00 ft-k @x= 0.00 ft.
#5: Maximum Deflections:
#6: -D (max) = -0.039 in. @x= 2.04 ft.
#7: +D(max) = 0.000 in. @x= 0.00 ft.
#8: D(ratio) = L/1256
Enter Allowable Stress for Beam Material Maximum Bending Stress:
Allowable Stress, Sa = 16600.00 psi Smax = 13,117 psi
Note: A-36 Allowable = 16,600psi Stress Ratio = 0.79
Stress is Acceptable
