Online beam and truss calculator for Students and Engineers

Get shear and moment diagrams with ease

Everything you need in just a few clicks. It's simple!

• ✓ Calculate reaction forces
• ✓ Calculate shear and moment diagrams of beams
• ✓ Calculate truss structures
• ✓ Calculate frames
• ✓ Calculate determinate structures
• ✓ Calculate indeterminate structures

Get the bending moment equation and the shear equation of any beam

Beamsolver is not limited to numerical quantities. What if your load is simply q? what if your beam's length is simply L?

Beamsolver has an integrated Computer Algebra System to handle symbolic computations.

Of course, you can also input your data with numerical quantities such as kNm and kPa.

Highly customizable loads, supports and hinges

Beamsolver handles beams, trusses and frames with advanced loads, supports and hinges with ease.

• ✓ Beams with distributed load
• ✓ Beams with trapezoidal loads
• ✓ Beam and trusses with point loads
• ✓ Beam and trusses with moment loads
• ✓ Advanced hinges: model complex interal disconnections where your beams meet

Structural analysis made simple

Knowing the bending moment equation is often not enough. With Beamsolver you can dig deeper in the results:

• ✓ Query the axial force diagram, shear force diagram and bending moment diagram at specific points along the beam
• ✓ Find where the diagrams are equal to 0
• ✓ Find inflection points and maximum values by calculating the derivative

You can easily integrate the results and get the beam deflection as well.

Get a step by step solution

If all this wasn't enough, with Beamsolver you get a step by step breakdown of all the calculations that produced the axial force diagram, shear force diagram and bending moment diagram of your structure.

This also includes the Principle of Virtual Work equation used to calculate indeterminate beam structures.
