Beam Solver (beamsolver.app) is an academic and educational structural mechanics platform. By using this service, you agree to the conditions, technical constraints, and liability limitations detailed below.
Designed for educational demonstration, student homework checks, and research validation. Not commercial building-design software.
All outputs must be independently reviewed and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer before physical construction.
Software is provided as-is. The author disclaims all liability for structural damages, material losses, or project delays.
Automated high-frequency scraping and denial-of-service abuse are prohibited. Solvers operate under compute rate limits.
Physical assumptions, supported analytical models, and structural exclusions.

|---|---|---|---|
| Flexural Mechanics | Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory | Prismatic & zoned non-prismatic sections (EI) | Timoshenko shear deformation |
| Material Law | Linear Elastic (Hooke's Law) | Small deflections (w << L) | Plasticity, yielding, concrete cracking |
| Geometric Action | First-Order 1D Flexure | Transverse point, UDL, and linear ramp loads | P-Delta, axial buckling, lateral torsion |
| Loading Dynamics | Static Equilibrium | Direct Stiffness Method (DSM) & Macaulay Singularity | Vibrations, seismic response, fatigue |
| Support Conditions | Discrete Rigid & Robin Elastic | Pins, Rollers, Fixed Walls, Internal Hinges, Springs | Winkler elastic foundation continuums |
By accessing, browsing, or running computations on Beam Solver (beamsolver.app) or calling its backend APIs, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms in full, you must discontinue use immediately.
Beam Solver is an independent educational tool developed to demonstrate computational mechanics, symbolic Macaulay integration, and the Direct Stiffness Method. Use of this application does not create a professional engineer-client, advisory, or contractual relationship.
The calculations, diagrams, LaTeX derivations, and downloadable PDF reports do not constitute certified structural engineering advice, design submittals, or construction documents.
Any individual or entity considering the use of these calculations in structural designs, load ratings, or construction projects must have all inputs and results independently evaluated, recalculated, and approved by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Structural Engineer (SE) authorized in the relevant jurisdiction.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CALCULATION RESULTS ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE AUTHOR, CONTRIBUTORS, AND HOSTING PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, SYSTEM ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that calculations will be error-free, that results will meet specific building code standards (such as AISC, ACI, Eurocodes, or National Structural Code of the Philippines), or that the server infrastructure will be uninterrupted or secure.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR, DEVELOPERS, OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, ECONOMIC LOSS, WORK STOPPAGE, PROJECT DELAYS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE BEAM SOLVER.
Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the software or results is to stop using the application.
Beam Solver generates step-by-step analytical solutions using Macaulay singularity notation, Clapeyron's Theorem of Three Moments, and the Method of Superposition. These derivations are provided as learning aids and educational references.
Users enrolled in academic institutions are strictly responsible for adhering to their school's academic honor codes, examination policies, and assignment guidelines. Submitting generated solutions without comprehension or attribution when prohibited constitutes academic misconduct by the user, for which the platform assumes no responsibility.
The computational algorithms, singularity functions, matrix formulation routines, vector diagram renderers, user interface design, and branding are the intellectual property of Gerard Nathaniel A. Esoy.
You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app and export PDF solution reports for personal, academic, and non-commercial research use. You may not sell, sublicense, reverse-engineer, decompile, or commercially repackage the solver engine or its components without prior written permission.
To guarantee service availability for all users, API endpoints (/api/solve, /api/export/*) are monitored and rate-limited. You agree not to:
We reserve the right to throttle, block, or permanently ban IP addresses or user accounts engaging in abusive activity.
Financial support provided through Ko-fi or community contribution channels represents voluntary gifts in support of maintenance and server hosting. Donations are non-refundable and do not establish a commercial contract, service level agreement (SLA), or priority consulting arrangement.
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of these terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
