Moment Distribution Calculator for indeterminate beam with UDL on both spans

Moment Distribution Calculator for continuous beam of two spans

Uniform loads on both spans.
continuous beam with uniform loads

Note: Enter the values of Moments of Inertia of both the spans in the same units. If I₁ is equal to twice of I₂, you can enter I₁=2 and I₂=1. Similarly the Modulus of Elaticity for both the spans should be in the same units. If E₁ is equal to twice of E₂, you can enter E₁=2 and E₂=1. All downward loads should be entered with negative sign.

You can visit instructions for Moment Distribution Calculator if you need more help and guidance on sign convention adopted.

Please refer to the figure and enter the required values in the form given below and then click "Calculate". The results obtained will be helpful in developing shear force and bending moment diagrams.
