ABOUT Wood Beam Design Calculator for Construction
An easy to use wood beam design calculator for construction & building: Inputs: span, beam size, lumber type and option of point load or uniformly distributed load (only simple beam spans included). Outputs: calculated stress in bending, the allowable stress of your beam type and the calculated and allowed deflection. Other features & notes: Results can be emailed, texted or copied to the phone s clipboard. Feel free to email us with feature suggestions or new app ideas. Example: You have a wood 6 x 6 spanning the top of scaffolding and a come-along lifting from it. You want to make sure the wood beam is more than adequate for the load you are hoisting. You know it s treated yellow pine, spans 5 and is trying to lift a 1,500 pound load (10 cubic feet of concrete). Wouldn t it be nice to know if the calculation supports what your gut tells you?
