Timber Beam Span Eurocode 5
Span-vs-deflection page for timber and engineered wood members.
Best starting point when span length is still the main unknown.
If span is still flexible and you are comparing timber options, start with the timber span page and then move into the Eurocode 5 timber calculator or the custom wood sizing page.
Span-vs-deflection page for timber and engineered wood members.
Best starting point when span length is still the main unknown.
Eurocode 5-style timber page for practical beam deflection checks.
Useful when the user already has a candidate timber member and wants a clearer serviceability check.
Lets the user compare custom timber sizes against span and load assumptions.
Strong fit when the main goal is sizing rather than standards language.
Fast allowable-deflection tool based on span length.
Useful for judging whether a proposed timber span is still in range for a chosen serviceability criterion.

Because timber users often start with the practical question of how far a beam can span before deflection becomes uncomfortable or unacceptable, while steel users more often begin from a chosen section.
It gives the elastic response engine for preliminary checks. Final timber decisions still need the appropriate long-term and project-specific adjustments.
Open the custom wood beam size page if the section is the main starting point, or the Eurocode 5 timber page if you want a more standard-based framing.
