Note: This tool is for concept or schematic level evaluation of feasible beam depths and approximate order of magnitude cost implications for design scenarios driven primarily by deflection limits and allowable structural assembly depths. It is not a comprehensive beam design tool and is not intended to evaluate structural strength. It is assumed that the beam is continuously laterally braced and lateral torsional buckling is not considered.
