Bending Moment Rechner — Formel
## Maximum Bending Moment for a Simply Supported Beam
Under a uniform load, the moment diagram is parabolic with its peak at midspan.
### Formulas
**M_max = w L^2 / 8** (at midspan)
**V_max = w L / 2** (at the supports)
These are the most fundamental results in structural analysis and form the starting point for beam design.

Lösungsbeispiel
A 6 m simply supported beam carrying 10 kN/m.
- M_max = 10 x 6^2 / 8 = 10 x 36 / 8 = 45 kN-m
- V_max = 10 x 6 / 2 = 30 kN
