MITCalc - Beam

1.25

Offers a straightforward environment for straight beams with constant cross section calculations directly from one of the most popular Office apps, namely Excel

MITCalc - Beam, also found under the moniker of MITCalc Straight beams calculation, is part of the comprehensive MITCalc - Mechanical and Technical Calculation Package.

Well-designed, Excel-based beam calculator that is in direct accordance with the most relevant standards


As its name states, this tiny utility makes it possible for you to perform various calculations for multiple types of beams. Before we go even more into details, please note that this utility requires the presence of Microsoft Excel (version 2000 upwards) on your computer's system.
It's worth pointing out that it comes with support for both Imperial and Metric units, and that it's based on some of the most relevant standards like DIN 1025, 1026, 1028, 1029, 1024 and AISC W, S, C, L, LU.

All sorts of complex beam calculations, now at the tips of your fingers and easier than ever before


In just a few words, you can perform a wide array of calculation for straight beams, and for three times static indefinite beams with constant axis-symmetrical profiles.
That said, you just have to enter the data in the dedicated fields, and everything is taken care of without further intervention. The app is also capable of allowing you to visually check the type of beam and its loading, to calculate and illustrate various characteristics of more than 20 types of cross sections, as well as the minimum and maximum bending moments, stress, and deflection of the beam at hand.
Last but not least, if things get too complicated or you simply want to do a bit of reading before you start using this app, feel free to check out the comprehensive documentation section.

Advanced yet highly user-friendly beam calculator


Taking everything into account, MITCalc - Beam is a very easy to use and widely accessible straight beam calculator that provides you with a straightforward and very well-organized environment for performing various calculations.
