This calculator is designed to help engineers understand and calculate the load distribution from slabs to beams in various structural systems. Whether you’re working with a cantilever slab, one-way slab, or two-way slab, this tool simplifies the process by guiding you through the input of essential data such as the slab load (in kN/m²) and the dimensions of the slab.
The load distribution from a slab to the beams depends on the slab type. In one-way slabs, the load is mainly transferred to two parallel beams. In contrast, two-way slabs distribute the load to beams in both directions.
This calculator adjusts automatically based on the selected slab type. It also prompts you to enter the necessary details for accurate results.
After you provide all inputs, the calculator displays the resulting line loads on the beams. These are shown in both kN/m and lb/ft. This helps structural engineers quickly estimate the loads that beams must support.
Understanding how loads transfer from the slab to the beams is essential in structural analysis. It impacts beam sizing, reinforcement, and overall stability.
By using this tool, you can save time and avoid manual calculation errors.
Try different slab types and loading conditions to explore their full potential. Your feedback is welcome and will help us improve its functionality.
