Maximum bending moment of simply supported beam

---

This page evaluates maximum bending moment of simply supported beam carrying point load at center, eccentric point load, uniformly distributed and uniformly varying load. This page helps finding maximum bending moment value and location at beam.

1. Point load at midspan.

Point load : kN.

Length of beam : meters.

Maximum bending moment under point load is : kNm.

---

Note: Bending moment drawing can be plotted using following link: Bending moment of beam carrying point load.

---

2. Eccentric point load

Point load : kN.

Length of beam : meters.

Distance of point load from left support : meters.

Maximum bending moment under point load is : kNm.

---

3. Uniformly distributed load on whole span.

Uniformly distributed load : kN/m.

Length of beam : meters.

Maximum bending moment at midspan is : kNm.

---

Note: Bending moment drawing can be plotted using following link: Bending moment of beam carrying uniformly distributed load.

---

4. Uniformly increasing load on whole span.

Uniformly increasing load : kN/m.

Length of beam : meters.

Maximum bending moment at 0.5773*length of beam is : kNm.
