Our wooden beam calculator is designed for accurate and fast calculations when designing floors and other structures. It helps determine the optimal cross-section and spacing of the beams, ensuring the reliability and longevity of your construction.
By using this tool, you can calculate the deflection and strength of a wooden beam, guaranteeing the absence of excessive deformations and the safe operation of the building. Our online wooden beam calculator takes into account various loads and material properties, providing precise results without the need for complex manual calculations.
How to use the calculator:
- Enter the span length of the beam.
- Specify the desired spacing between the beams.
- Determine the design load on the wooden beam; you can use additional resources or your own data for this.
- Select the type of wood or material grade, considering its physical and mechanical properties.
- Set the height-to-width ratio of the beam's cross-section (h/b) or specify the exact dimensions of the cross-section.
- Click the "Calculate" button to get the results.
As a result, you will receive the optimal cross-section parameters of the beam, calculated based on the loads and the required strength and stiffness. This will help you choose the most efficient solution for calculating wooden floor beams, ensuring the rational use of materials and reducing costs.
Notes:
- The calculator accounts for standard loads and can be used for various types of wooden structures.
- It is recommended to verify the calculation results considering the specifics of your project, and if necessary, consult a professional engineer.
