Slope and Deflection Calculator for Simply Supported Beam with Point Load

Point Load on beam span
Simply supported beam with point load

This calculator is for finding slope and deflection at a section of simply supported beam subjected to a point load. This calculator uses standard formulae for slope and eflection. Loads acting downward are taken as negative whereas upward loads are taken as positive. Distance 'x' is measured from support A. Downward deflection is negative whereas upward deflection is taken as positive. Counter-clockwise rotations are taken as positive whereas clockwise rotations are taken as negative.

This calculator can also be used to find the ordinates of influence line diagram for deflection at a point of structure.

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