About this calculator
Add up the dead and live loads on a floor, the factored design load, and — optionally — the load on a beam with a brick wall, with its bending moment and shear.
How it's calculated
- Dead load = slab (150 pcf) + finishes + partitions + services
- Factored load U = max(1.4D, 1.2D + 1.6L)
- Beam: Mu = wL²/8 (simply supported) or ≈ wL²/10 (continuous); Vu = wL/2
Results are calculated from the values you enter using standard formulas. Download the PDF to keep a record. For certified testing, design or construction, talk to our engineers.
