Beam Deflection
Beam Deflection
(OP)
I am new to usiing Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain and need some help. I have a copy of the 7th edition. My question is how do use the table 8.1, 2e (simply support beam with uniform distributed load across beam) to find the deflection at any point x along the beam? Thanks

The AISC Manual of Steel Construction gives beam diagrams and formulas under the "Beam" tab. For a simple beam with uniformly distributed load the formula for deflection is
Delta(x)= (wx/24EI)(l^3-2lx^2+x^3)
where "x"=distance along the beam, "w" is the load/ft, and "l" is the beam length.
