Continuous Load Calculator

What is a Continuous Load Calculator?

A continuous load calculator is a tool used to estimate the total effect of a continuous or uniformly distributed load along the length of a structural element, such as a beam or slab.

Why use a Continuous Load Calculator?

1. Structural Analysis: Assists in analyzing the structural response to a distributed load.
2. Design Optimization: Helps in optimizing the design of structural elements to support the applied continuous load.
3. Load Distribution: Aids in understanding how the load is distributed along the length of a member.
4. Material Selection: Supports decisions on material selection based on load-bearing requirements.

How to use a Continuous Load Calculator:

1. Input the length of the structural element (e.g., beam or slab) in feet.
2. Input the uniform load applied per unit length (in pounds per foot).
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator estimates the total continuous load on the structural element.

Example of Calculator:

Let's say you have a beam with a length of 12 feet and a uniform load of 100 pounds per foot.

1. Length of Beam = 12 feet
2. Uniform Load = 100 pounds per foot

Total Continuous Load: 1200.00 pounds .
