Each Reaction vs Beam Span
सूत्र
## Shear Force (Simply Supported Beam) **V_max = wL / 2** For a simply supported beam with uniform load, the maximum shear force occurs at the supports and equals half the total load. The shear force decreases linearly to zero at mid-span.
हल किया गया उदाहरण
16 ft beam with 300 lb/ft uniform load.
- 01Total load = 16 x 300 = 4,800 lbs
- 02Reaction at each support = 4800 / 2 = 2,400 lbs
- 03Max shear = 2,400 lbs (at each support)
