How to Calculate Beam Reactions?

This tool calculates the support reactions and maximum bending moment for a simply supported beam with a single point load.

Formulas:
• Reaction R1 = P × (L - a) / L
• Reaction R2 = P × a / L
• Max Moment (M) = P × a × (L - a) / L

Variables:

  • P: Point Load (Force)
  • L: Total Length of the Beam
  • a: Distance of load from the left support
