There is a mistake in the formula in the [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Structural Beam Bending Equations / Calculation Cantilevered Beam with Uniform Load[/COLOR] [url]http://www.engineersedge.com/beam_bending/images/beam_b85.gif[/url]
The correct formula is (w*l^4)/(8EI)

Engineers Edge equation uses [B]Total[/B] load where your equation uses [B]Line[/B] load.
Total load is clearly indicated on the load image.
Different - not wrong..
understand now. its a bit confusing if you're not careful or pay attention.

Or [B]assumptions[/B]. :)
Dare I re-use one of my favorite quotations...
[I]I think it was the great British Engineer, Bazelgate who said, "...conspicuous failures from structures hastily contrived!"[/I]
