Oct 13, 2015 · How can I calculate the maximum load a rectangular horizontal wooden beam of dimensions L x H x W can safely support if the beam is adequately supported at both ends? assuming worst case - load concentrated at center. for commonly available types of wood (e.g. Spruce)
Oct 25, 2024 · Use this wood beam span calculator to check a wood beam of a particular size and length to see if it can support a given uniform linear load by comparing its allowable and required bending and shear stress.
A complete analysis of wood’s mechanical properties is complex, but understanding a few basics of lumber strength will allow you to size joists and rafters with the use of span tables. Let’s start by taking a broad view.
