Wood Beam Design Calculator for Construction
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
An easy to use wood beam design calculator for construction & building:
Inputs: span, beam size, lumber type and option of point load or uniformly distributed load (only simple beam spans included).
Outputs: calculated stress in bending, the allowable stress of your beam type and the calculated and allowed deflection.
Other features & notes:
Results can be emailed, texted or copied to the phone’s clipboard.
Feel free to email us with feature suggestions or new app ideas.
Example:
You have a wood 6 x 6 spanning the top of scaffolding and a come-along lifting from it. You want to make sure the wood beam is more than adequate for the load you are hoisting. You know it’s treated yellow pine, spans 5’ and is trying to lift a 1,500 pound load (10 cubic feet of concrete). Wouldn’t it be nice to know if the calculation supports what your gut tells you?
