Design a Steel Beam (ASD) to AISC 360-22

Design hot-rolled steel beams to AISC 360-22 (ASD) with multiple spans and service-level loads. Checks bending, shear and three deflection limits.

Design a Steel Beam (LRFD) to AISC 360-22

Design and analyze steel beams to AISC 360-22 (LRFD) with multiple supports and loads. Presets for floor and roof beams cut repetitive data entry.

Design a Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) to AISC 360-22

Design closed-section steel beams under torsion to AISC 360-22 (ASD), checking combined bending, shear and torsion per Chapter H.

Design a Steel Member (Design Only - ASD) to AISC 360-22

Design steel members to AISC 360-22 (ASD). Input analysis forces to check combined axial, bending, and shear interaction for US hot-rolled sections.

Design a Steel Member (Design Only - LRFD) to AISC 360-22

Design steel members to AISC 360-22 (LRFD). Input analysis forces to check combined axial, bending, and shear for US hot-rolled and HSS sections.

Design a Steel Composite Beam (LRFD) to AISC 360-22

Design steel beams acting compositely with a concrete deck, through the pre-composite and composite stages, to AISC 360-22 (LRFD).

Design a Steel Joist (ASD)

Check open-web steel joist designations (K, LH, DLH and KCS series) against SJI 100-2020 Load Tables under ASD load combinations.

Design a Cold-Formed Steel Beam to AISI S100-16/CSA S136-16

Design cold-formed steel beams to AISI S100-16(2020) w/S2-20 with the Direct Strength Method. Checks flexure, shear, web crippling and deflection.
