Printable Beam Formula Reference
This one-page beam formula reference is for engineers, drafters, students, and anyone checking common beam loading cases. It lists the case, reactions, maximum moment, and maximum deflection for simply supported beams with UDL, a central point load, and a point load at a distance a. The formulas are given for linear elastic, prismatic beams and include the standard terms w, P, L, a, b, and EI.
