Validation of Fixed-End Beam Analysis with Uniform Loads Using Android-Based Applications

The beam structure is an essential structural element to construction professionals, and most engineers must be familiar with beams. The type of beam structure discussed in this article is a fixed-end beam structure with uniform loads. Calculating the forces and structural deformations manually takes longer and requires good accuracy. Various software and applications can be installed easily in this increasingly sophisticated era. The Easy Beam Analysis Application is one application that can be used to obtain internal forces and structural deformations quickly and accurately. Easy Beam Analysis is an Android-based application that can be installed via the Play Store. In this article, fixed-end beam structures with uniform loads are modelled and analyzed using the Easy Beam Analysis Application. This article aims to validate the results of manual calculations according to the static equilibrium requirements, especially fixed-end beams with uniform loads. This article will also validate it by manual accounting according to static equilibrium requirements. Furthermore, the analysis results with the Easy Beam Analysis Application and manual calculations have been obtained and validated. It can be seen that the results of the analysis do not have a significant difference. So, it can be concluded that structural analysis with the Easy Beam Analysis Application can be a fast and accurate solution.
