Structural Design Toolkit

Eurocode design tools for structural engineers, each checked against hand calculations. Use them one by one, or let the building designer bring them together into a complete building: structure, floors, foundations and a printable report.

Complete a building in four steps

1
Define the building
Grid, storeys, loads, wind and seismic. The frame, slabs, columns and foundations are designed for you.
2
Lay out the floors
Rooms, apartments, doors and windows on every floor, with areas and checks.
3
Check the envelope
Walls, openings, lintels, schedules and glazing wind pressure.
4
Issue the report
One printable document: design basis, schedules, plans and sample calculations.

Project

Define the building and bring it all together

Site & EnvironmentExposure classes, design life, cover, minimum concrete class, fire resistance, ground and groundwater: the conditions the building must be designed for.Building1–20 storey RC or steel frames on a grid: slabs, beams, columns, footings, wind, seismic, drift, 3D view and quantities.Custom StructureBuild any structure yourself: set grid lines and levels, then place columns, beams, walls, slabs and voids. Hall, podium-and-tower and regular templates, with live checks and a 3D model.Floor Plans & ApartmentsRooms and apartment units on the structural grid: sizes, bathrooms, areas, finishes, colours, partition quantities, per-floor plans and 3D.Walls, Doors & WindowsWall layout with openings, RC lintels, door/window schedules, wall quantities, glazing wind pressure and a 3D model.Construction PackageEverything to build it: bar bending schedule with cutting lengths, bill of quantities, construction programme and site specification.Building ReportOne printable report for the whole building: design basis, schedules, wall/door/window data, sample calculations, 3D model and limitations.

Members

Design individual elements

RC BeamEC2 beam design: flexure, shear, cover, deflection, cracking, 3D view. Rectangular and T sections.RC SlabOne-way and two-way slab design.RC ColumnAxial load plus biaxial bending, interaction diagrams, slenderness.FootingIsolated pad footings: bearing, flexure, one-way shear and punching.StairsRC waist-slab stair flights: geometry rules, loads and reinforcement.

Analysis & loads

Actions and structural analysis

Loads & CombinationsOccupancy live loads with reductions, dead loads, snow, wind per storey (EN 1991), ULS/SLS combinations (EN 1990).Frame AnalysisStiffness-method solver: continuous beams, 2D multi-storey frames, 3D space frames with deformed-shape view.Wind & SeismicEC8 seismic base shear and spectrum, distribution of storey shear to walls, RC shear wall design.

Other structures

Steel and special structures

Steel Members & ConnectionsEC3 members, bolted and welded connections, base plates.Portal FrameSingle-bay steel portal frames: 2D analysis, automatic section selection, eaves sway and deflection.Retaining WallCantilever RC retaining walls: stability, bearing, stem/toe/heel design.
