Shear Force Calculator
Calculate shear force at any point along a simply supported beam under uniform or point load.
How to Use the Shear Force Calculator
- Enter the total load in kN.
- Enter beam span in metres.
- Enter the position along the beam.
- Select load type and review shear forces.
Use Cases
- •Beam shear design
- •Connection design verification
- •Structural analysis
Formula
UDL: V(x) = wL/2 − wx; Point: V = P/2
