Simple beam - Two equal concentrated loads unsymmetrically placed II Calculator

















Formula

Quantity Formula
Moment \(M_{CD}\) \(M_{CD} = R_{A} \cdot x - P_{1} \cdot (x - a)\)
Moment \(M_{DB}\) \(M_{DB} = R_{B} \cdot (L - x)\)
Shear \(V_{AC}\) \(V_{AC} = R_{A}\)
Shear \(V_{CD}\) \(V_{CD} = R_{A} - P_{1}\)
Shear \(V_{DB}\) \(V_{DB} = -R_{B}\)
Reaction \(R_{A}\) \(R_{A} = \frac{P_{1}(L - a) + P_{2}b}{L}\)
Reaction \(R_{B}\) \(R_{B} = \frac{P_{2}(L - b) + P_{1}a}{L}\)
