The Slab Load on Beam Calculator is a professional tool designed for structural engineers and designers. It provides an intuitive interface for accurately calculating the load distribution on a beam supported by a slab. This application streamlines structural analysis and design calculations, saving time and ensuring accurate load distribution results.
Features
Precise Load Calculation: The application accurately calculates the total load on a beam, considering factors such as slab thickness, live load, floor finish load, and other imposed loads. This ensures reliable load distribution results for precise structural analysis and design.
Slab Type Identification: The application identifies whether the slab is one-way or two-way based on the input span lengths and distributes load accordingly on beams.
Instructions for Use
Input Parameters:
Enter the span lengths of the slab in the "Short Span" and "Long Span" fields.
Specify the slab thickness in millimeters (mm).
Define load components:
Live Load: Enter the live load value in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²).
Floor Finish Load: Input the load due to floor finishes in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²).
Water Proofing Load: Input the load due to Water proofing in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²).
Wall on Slab Load: Input the load due to Wall on Slab in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²), input "0" if no wall on slab.
Click the "Calculate Load on Beam" button.
Results:
The application displays the total load on the beam for both one-way and two-way slabs.
For one-way slabs, the long span load is provided.
For two-way slabs, both the long span and short span loads are presented.
Additional Features
