Beam Overhanging One Support- Concentrated Load at End of Overhang

Point Loaded Beam Overhanging One Support
This calculator checks a beam resting over 2 supports, overhanging one of the supports with a concentrated load at the end of the overhang. The Point Load resting on the end of the overhang is entered in pounds. R1 and R2 are the loads on each support, these should be used to check for crushing of the beam to post connection and the post dimensions.
