After a long term effort, I have developed stable version of a Web Application that analyze the beams directly on a web page. This Application is also part of Final Year Project in University of South Asia (PAK) and capable of performing analysis with 6 different beam types listed below:
- Simply Supported Beam.
- Cantilever.
- Propped Cantilever.
- Fixed ended Beam.
- Overhang Beam and
- Continuous Beam
Analysis is run on the web page hence, No installation is required. Just input the data, click the submit button and get the analysis done. Its usage is quite simple. Open the Application in your browser and follow these steps:
1-Select Beam Type
Click on radio button before any type of beam for which you want to run analysis. Selected beam will be highlighted by the rectangle.
2-Select Beam Case
Select any case based upon your desired loading condition. Many cases are included and some cases are planned for future. A free body diagram is displayed corresponding to selected case.
3-Input Data
Input the data in appropriate fields (Use free body diagram to visualize the parameters). All fields are required and if some field is left blank, an error massage will be displayed before the input field. Click on the "Submit for Analysis" button.
4-Analysis Report
After clicking the "Submit for Analysis" button application performed the analysis and a report is generated which includes the following.
- Output results in tabular format
- Shear force, bending moment and deflection in graphical format.
Use the "Print Report" button to save your results Or "Repeat Analysis" button to run analysis again with different values.
