Uniformly Distributed Load in Structural Analysis of Beams Formulas

Uniformly distributed Load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element whose magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element. And is denoted by q. Uniformly Distributed Load is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Uniformly Distributed Load is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Uniformly Distributed Load?

Uniformly distributed Load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element whose magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element. Uniformly Distributed Load is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Uniformly Distributed Load is always positive.

Can the Uniformly Distributed Load be negative?

No, the Uniformly Distributed Load, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Uniformly Distributed Load?

Uniformly Distributed Load is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Meter[kN/m] for Surface Tension. Newton per Meter[kN/m], Millinewton per Meter[kN/m], Gram-Force per Centimeter[kN/m] are the few other units in which Uniformly Distributed Load can be measured.
