Columns

This tool analyzes steel beams and columns under axial loads and uniaxial or biaxial bending. The result is a Stress Ratio, which compares the actual stress to the allowable stress. Calculations are based on the American Institute of Steel Construction's Specification for Structural Steel Buildings-Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design, 1989.

Calculate the minimum required thickness of your base plate and check the allowable bearing strength of the concrete footing.

Calculate the combined axial and bending design capacity of a reinforced concrete section, according to Australian Standards.

This tool designs standard steel sections by calculating the flexural and axial design capacities using Ultimate Limit State (ULS) methods. The calculations comply with AS 4100-2020.
