Many years ago, during my early coding adventures, I developed a concrete beam calculator to assist with structural analysis using Python. Today, I'm happy to present its modern reincarnation as a web application, powered by Streamlit. It could be not perfect, but was very useful for me at the beginning of my structural engineering career.
- Load Analysis: Uniform distribuited load
- Support Configurations: Analyze beams with different support conditions such as simply supported, fixed, and cantilevered.
- Material Selection: Choose from a range of materials, each with predefined properties.
- Section Properties: Define the dimensions.
- Visualization: Explore the results visually.

- Visit the Concrete Beam Calculator App.
- Input the beam parameters.
- Define the loading conditions and support configurations.
- Click "Calculate" and Voilá.
- View the results!
