Leave a Review Steel Beams Bulk Checker
Not for rectangular tube
I’m not a steel professional, so wasn’t familiar with AISC sections. I thought this would handle calculations for the typical mild steel hollow rectangular sections hobbyists and fabricators weld things out of. It doesn’t do that, it’s only for structural steel used in buildings :-/Minimal App
Very simple to use; however, it does not allow for you to have multiple load conditions (ie. a uniformly distributed load with a point load included) in your input and it limits you to only L/240 deflection. Also in the very rare condition where you find yourself designing a beam with only a point load (w/L over 240), it doesn’t allow you to input a specific distance from a moment to the point load. It automatically just puts it at midspan. No one designs to that. My clients require me to design with a minimum essential design... & that is worse case scenario. It is so minimal, that I find it totally useless.Show lessIf you're in the steel industry in any way you need this app.
I'm part owner of a steel fabrication company and this is one of the most useful apps I've ever seen. It takes all of the work out of doing any calculations to see if somethings going to work before going further with it. If you're involved with steel in any way or if you're an engineer. You need this app.Show less
