Calculation method
Calculation method
Reaction at each support (kN)
Uniform load over full simply-supported span; V=R−wx and M=Rx−wx²/2.
Maximum sagging moment (kN m)
Uniform load over full simply-supported span; V=R−wx and M=Rx−wx²/2.
Position/shear/moment profile (JSON)
Uniform load over full simply-supported span; V=R−wx and M=Rx−wx²/2.
Symbols and units
- a
- Simply-supported span (m)
- b
- Uniform downward load (kN/m)
- c
- Profile intervals (count)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Uniform load over full simply-supported span; V=R−wx and M=Rx−wx²/2. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
