Use this beam calculator to determine the deflection for a statically indeterminate (overdetermined) beam with fixed restraint and floating bearings under a uniform line load. Area and moments of inertia can be calculated with the various cross-section calculators, suitable profiles can be found in the profile wizard.
Example parameters
The Young's modulus of elasticity of steel is 210 GPa, aluminum, for example, is 70 GPa.
A Z-steel according to DIN 1027 with the code Z 100 has a geometrical moment of inertia of 222 cm4 and a section modulus of 44.4 cm3.
