What is a Beam Capacity Calculator?
A beam capacity calculator estimates the maximum load that a beam can support based on parameters such as beam length, width, depth, applied load, and material properties.
Why use a Beam Capacity Calculator?
- Structural Safety: Ensures that a beam is designed within its load-carrying capacity to prevent failure.
- Code Compliance: Helps comply with building codes and standards regarding beam capacities.
- Design Optimization: Assists in optimizing the design of beams for specific loading conditions.
- Material Selection: Supports decisions on material selection based on load-bearing requirements.
