RC Beam Torsion Design (BS8110:Part2:1985 & CP 65:Part2:1999)

Rectangular RC beam torsion design in accordance with either clause 2.4 of BS8110-2:1985 or clause 2.4 of CP65:Part 2:1996 (1999).

The calculation determines the quantity of torsional reinforcement (links and longitudinal bars) required, if any, for a solid rectangular section subjected to a combination of direct shear force and torsional moment.

RC Thermal Crack Widths (BS8007:1987)

RC early thermal crack width calculation in accordance with BS8007:1987. The calculation calculates the estimated maximum crack width in each surface zone of wall, suspended or ground bearing slab elements resulting from thermal shrinkage induced direct tension. The calculation also checks the specified reinforcement against the minimum requirements of BS8007:1987. The reinforcement can be different in each face of the element and can be either loose bar or mesh but not a combination of the two in a single element.

Timber Joist Design (BS5268:Part2:2002)

Timber floor joist design in accordance with BS5268-2:2002. The calculation checks the design of a solid, simply supported timber joist subjected to a uniformly distributed load and a point load.

Basic Wind Loading (1170.2)

Calculates the wind speed and wind pressure in accordance with AS/NZS 1170.2. The calculation provides wind pressures for ultimate and serviceability limit state. Shielding and topographic multipliers can be entered directly or calculated.

Pad Footing Design

Design of a pad footing with pedestal.

Reinforced Concrete Corbel Design (CSA A23.3 - 04)

Single corbel design in accordance with the Design of Concrete Structures (CSA A23.3-04).

Base Plate Design (CSA-S16-01)

From Limit State Design of Steel Structures (CSA-S16-01), these calculations determine the minimum size of base plate required to transmit the forces in an axially loaded column into the foundations for I and tube sections.

RC Beam Torsion Design (BS8110:Part2:1985)

Rectangular RC beam torsion design in accordance with clause 2.4 of BS8110-2:1985. The calculation determines the quantity of torsional reinforcement (links and longitudinal bars) required, if any, for a solid rectangular section subjected to a combination of direct shear force and torsional moment.

Timber floor joist design in accordance with BS5268-2:2002. The calculation checks the design of a solid, simply supported timber joist subjected to a uniformly distributed load and a point load.

RC Corbel Design (ACI318-05)

Design of a simple reinforced concrete corbel to ACI 318-05 - Building Code Requirement For Structural Concrete.

Steel Beam in Torsion (AISC-05)

This calculations use the "Load and resistance factor design" (LRFD) method from AISC-05 "Specification for structural steel buildings". It covers the design of I sections, C sections, square hollow sections, rectangular hollow section and circular hollow sections.

Maximum moment is assumed to be at midspan. At midspan, torsional stresses are considered simultaneously with maximum bending and maximum shear stresses, while at support, torsional stresses are considered with maximum shear stresses.

The calculation checks the compactness of the section, moment capacity, shear capacity, capacity without web yielding and web crippling, torsional stress check and combined stress check.
