Hey guys,i need a little help. I am looking for webpages with the max moment formulas and distances (if possible) of beams (cantilever, 2 support, 3 support, double embedded,etc...)

Do the formulas need to be on the internet? The best resource for that kind of thing is Roark's formulas for Stress and Strain.

They can be on a book, but i was looking for an easy access. Thanks to both of you.
 

FAQ: Design Moment Formulas: Max Moment & Distance Info

What is a design moment formula and why is it important?

A design moment formula is a mathematical equation used to calculate the maximum moment and distance information for a structural element, such as a beam or column. It is important because it helps engineers and architects determine the strength and stability of a structure, ensuring it can safely support its intended load.

How do design moment formulas differ from one another?

Design moment formulas can differ based on the type of structural element being analyzed, the material it is made of, and the type of loading it will experience. They may also vary depending on the specific building codes and standards being followed.

What factors are taken into account when using a design moment formula?

Design moment formulas take into account the geometry of the structural element, the material properties and dimensions, and the type and magnitude of loads it will experience. They may also consider factors such as support conditions, reinforcement, and safety factors.

How accurate are design moment formulas?

The accuracy of design moment formulas depends on the assumptions and simplifications made in the formula, as well as the accuracy of the input data. In general, they provide a good estimation of the maximum moment and distance information, but it is important to verify the results through testing and analysis.

Can design moment formulas be used for all types of structural elements?

No, design moment formulas are specific to certain types of structural elements, such as beams, columns, or slabs. They cannot be used interchangeably and may need to be modified for unique or complex structural elements.
