# Beams
> Beam calculators for Australia and New Zealand, by material.
### Steel Beams
Design steel beams to AS 4100:2020 with multiple supports and loads. Floor- and roof-beam presets cut repetitive entry.
Fast capacity design of steel members to AS 4100:2020 when analysis results are available. Input forces directly and choose from thousands of AU sections.
Design steel lintels supporting masonry, as an angle, a T-lintel, or a PFC with plate, to AS 4100:2020.
Design steel beams to NZS 3404.1:1997 (Amdt 2) with multiple supports and loads. Checks compactness, LTB, shear, bearing and deflection.
### Cold-Formed Steel Beams
Design cold-formed steel beams to AS/NZS 4600:2018 using the Direct Strength Method, with a built-in database of Australian CFS sections.
Design cold-formed steel members to AS/NZS 4600:2018 by the Direct Strength Method. Input analysis forces to check moment, shear, bearing, and combined actions.
### Timber Beams
Design timber beams with multiple spans and load cases to AS 1720.1:2010 (Amdt 3). Checks bending, shear, bearing and deflection.
Design timber beams with multiple spans and load cases to AS 1720.1:2010 (Amdt 3). ITI version of the Timber Beam calculator.
Design timber truss chords, frame members and rafter ties to AS 1720.1:2010 (Amdt 3), with combined bending, axial and shear checks.
Design simple and continuous timber beams to NZS 3603:1993 (Amdt 4) with unlimited supports and loads. Checks moment, shear and deflection.
How branded Australian and New Zealand glulam products relate to standard GL grades, and why selecting the named product in Calcs.com is the better option.
### Concrete Beams
Design rectangular concrete beams to AS 3600:2018 (Amdt 2) with unlimited spans. Checks flexure, shear, and short- and long-term deflection.
Design concrete members to AS 3600:2018 from analysis forces you already have, such as 3D model results. Fast capacity design and reinforcement optimization.
### Older Code Editions
Design steel beams to AS 4100:1998 (R2016) with multiple spans and load cases. An earlier code edition, kept for existing projects.

Design cold-formed steel beams to AS 4600:2005 using the Direct Strength Method. An earlier code edition, kept for existing projects.
Design steel T-lintel sections supporting masonry openings to AS 4100:1998. Fast, accurate analysis and design with bending, shear, and deflection checks.
Design angle, T-lintel or PFC and plate steel lintels over masonry openings to AS 4100:1998. An earlier code edition, kept for existing projects.
Design combined PFC and angle steel sections to AS 4100:1998. Checks bending capacity, deflection, and brick-load stress on the angle leg.
Design combined PFC and plate steel sections for masonry support to AS 4100:1998. Checks bending capacity, short- and long-term deflection, and plate stress.
