An easy to use steel beam design calculator for construction & building: Inputs: span, beam size, steel shape & size. Properties of US hot rolled steel beams included. An 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 steel beam spanning the top of scaffolding and a come-along lifting from it. You want to make sure the beam is more than adequate for the load you are hoisting. You know it s an 6 high I beam with 4 wide flanges that are 1/4" thick, spans 5 and is trying to lift a 4,000 pound load. Wouldn t it be nice to know if the calculation supports what your gut tells you?
