Key Features
- Rigid beam on two simple supports
- Load cells measure the vertical reaction at each support
- Loads can be placed at any position along the beam
- Support pointers work with the platform scale for positioning
- Additional masses for uniformly distributed loads (UDLs)
- Load cells connect to the Structures platform USB hub for computer display

About This Product
This is the basic beam reactions practical. Students predict the support reactions for a chosen load with the textbook beam equations, apply the load, and compare their calculations with the load cell readings for point loads and distributed loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Simply Supported Beam be used with distributed loads?
Yes. Additional masses are included so students can create uniformly distributed loads (UDLs) on the beam.
