This calculator follows the procedures and guidelines of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification of Structural Steel Buildings - Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design - 9th Edition 1989 (AISC 360). 

It calculates actual and allowable stresses in members when subjected to axial load and/or uniaxial or biaxial bending. Therefore it is applicable to both beams and columns. The final result is computed as a Stress Ratio (S.R) of actual stress to allowable stress. A member with S.R ≤ 1 is deemed adequate against strength checks. 

❗ This calculation has been written in accordance with AISC 360. 

The American and British Standards method for design is to compare "allowable stresses" against "actual stresses", where actual stresses are based upon characteristic loads with an overall Factor of Safety (FoS). 

The design checks to ACI 360R-22 are based upon ensuring:

The Stress Ratio (S.R.) checks against the combined actions of axial and flexure. A steel section with S.R. ≤ 1 is deemed safe against strength checks. 

More information about parameters and equations used for column design according to AISC are discussed below:

This calculator does wind loading analysis for buildings and structures. It is split into five sub-sections depending on application. For each, wind pressure coefficients and parameters are selected or calculated in order to compute the net design wind pressures. 

This calculation has been written in accordance with ASCE 7-10. An updated revision, ASCE 7-22 exists. Any discrepancies between the two revisions are noted.

Wind Load (Any Height)

Wind Load (Low-Rise)

Wind Load (Wall Components & Cladding)

Wind Load (Roof Components & Cladding)

Wind Load (Open Building)

Buildings and their components must be designed to withstand code-specified wind loads. Wind load is the force exerted on a structure by the wind.

ASCE 7 provides methods for calculating the design wind pressure based on two categories of applications: the main 

 (MWFRS) or components and claddings (C&C).

The process to calculate the wind load involves:

❗The ground elevation factor, Ke is a new factor in ASCE 7-22. It is not considered in this calculator, though ASCE 7-22 permits Ke = 1 for all elevations and so the calculator is still valid. 

ASCE 7-10 provided two methods to calculate the design wind pressures: a simplified procedure and an analytical procedure. ASCE 7-22 has removed the simplified method. This calculator is based on the ASCE 7-10 analytical procedure that is still valid in ASCE 7-22.

ASCE 7-22 provides four separate chapters for determining the design wind pressures, based on application:

Wind loading analysis in all five sub-sections of this

The neutral axis (N.A) is a line that passes through the centroidal depth of a symmetrical cross-section where there are no longitudinal stresses or strain. In an unsymmetrical cross-section, the N.A may differ from the centre of gravity of the centroidal axis.  

You can use this calculator to determine the depth to the Neutral Axis of an RC section in 3 different stages of concrete cracking: 

 in structural engineering applications, picture a beam with an external load applied to it. When a beam is loaded, internal forces develop within it to maintain equilibrium. The internal forces in a beam have two components: 

There’s an area in the middle of the beam’s cross-section that is neither stretched nor squashed; this is known as the 

. At this point within the beam's cross-section, internal stresses are 

from top to bottom – passing through zero at the neutral axis. At this point, compressive and tensile stresses are in equilibrium - no internal stresses exist.

The location of the neutral axis depends on the 

of the RC section. Three different stages can be defined for the determination of

This calculator allows the user to assess the structural integrity of timber columns to ensure compliance with the Australian Standard AS 1720.1:2010. The calculation will identify the design capacities of timber columns to meet flexural, shear and deflection design requirements to Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) methods. 

❗This calculation has been written in accordance with AS 1720. 

Australian Standards set out guidelines and minimum requirements for material properties, design parameters, design procedures and calculation methods. Here, we explain some pertinent timber properties that should be considered carefully when undertaking timber design calculations. 

Design Properties of Structural Timber Elements

Design capacities for all structural timbers are obtained by modifying characteristic capacities with factors appropriate to service conditions and material property type. This process applies to all types of timber.

Permissible allowable stress limits or design limit capacities of timber columns are then calculated for each check by multiplying the relevant characteristic properties, modification factors and geometric properties together:

AS1720.1 provides detailed guidelines for Ultimate Limit State (ULS) design. The calculation methods for design bending moment, shear and bearing capacities of structural timber members, joints and fasteners are robust enough to account for different scenarios and environmental factors. Permissible allowable stress limits or design limit capacities of timber beams are then calculated for each check by multiplying the relevant characteristic properties, modification factors and geometric properties together:
