Beam Slope & Rotation Calculator

Evaluate elastic beam slope and rotation along a loaded member. Choose a support model, enter engineering units, and review the critical response locations.

Engineering scope

This calculator reports deterministic linear-elastic response. It is not a code-compliance check, design approval, or safety determination. Review assumptions and loading with a qualified professional.

MODEL INPUT

Beam and loading

Metric

Boundary condition

Span Lm

Elastic modulus EGPa

Second moment Imm⁴

Point load PkN

Point load positionm

UDL wkN/m

UDL startm

UDL endm

Ready for a slope and rotation analysis.

RESPONSE SUMMARY

Slope and rotation

rad

Run an analysis to view maximum and minimum slope, reaction context, and boundary checks.

METHOD

Verified mechanics

TOOL-011 reuses frozen TOOL-001 EI slope integration, load superposition, and support boundary conditions. It adds slope and rotation presentation only.

LIMITS

Use with engineering review

Constant E and I, small deflection, linear elastic response, and downward positive load magnitudes are assumed. Validate the model against project requirements.
