Timber Beam And Joist Span Calculator
Timber Beam And Joist Span: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers span. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Timber Beam And Joist Span Calculator is a planned calculator in the engineering section of Super Calculator, covering structural engineering.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: span, spacing, species and grade, load, service conditions, deflection limit and design code.
Outputs: required section, allowable span, bending, shear and bearing utilization, deflection and suggested standard sizes.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Bending capacity from the allowable stress Fb adjusted by the NDS adjustment factors (size, load duration, wet service, repetitive member), compared against the applied moment. European practice uses EN 338 strength classes with kmod and gamma_M under Eurocode 5.
