L = span length of the bending member, ft. Shear and moment diagrams and formulas are {= span length of the bending member, in. excerpted from the Western Woods Use Book, 4th M= maximum bending moment, in-Ibs. edition, and are provided herein as a courtesy of P = total concentrated load, Ibs ‘Westem Wood Products Association. R = reaction load at bearing point, Ibs V = shear force, Ibs. W = total uniform load, Ibs. w = load per unit length, Ibs./in A = deflection or deformation, in. x = horizontal distance from reaction to point oon beam, in List of Figures Figure | Simple Beam — Uniformly Distributed Load 4 Figure 2.
