## What is CivilCal?

CivilCal is a civil engineering calculator and site toolkit for engineers, builders, students and anyone planning building work. Choose your country in Settings and the design codes, grades, bar sizes, currency and units follow: Australia, India, New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Canada and Europe, in metric or US units.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN
• RCC column design: axial load with uniaxial or biaxial bending, slenderness, P–M interaction and biaxial charts.
• RCC beam design: singly or doubly reinforced, with bar layout and design chart.
• Concrete mix design for a target strength (IS 10262 or ACI 211.1): water-cement ratio, batch quantities and cement bags.
• Steel beam design: bending with lateral-torsional buckling, shear and deflection, with a capacity chart.
• Steel sections and properties: I and H sections, channels, angles, back-to-back angles, plate girders and C/Z purlins, drawn to scale.
• Timber beam and column design: sawn timber and glulam, stability, shear, deflection and buckling.
• Beam analysis: shear, moment and deflection diagrams for simply supported, fixed and cantilever beams.
Codes: AS 3600, AS 4100, AS 1720.1, IS 456, IS 800, IS 883, NZS 3101, NZS 3404, Eurocodes 2, 3 and 5 (with UK National Annex), ACI 318, AISC 360, NDS, CSA A23.3, S16 and O86.

RATE ANALYSIS
Concrete (site mix or ready-mix), plaster and render, brickwork, brick bat coba, block work, tiles and flooring, painting, reinforcement steel and formwork, each with quantities and an itemised cost.

SITE KIT
• Measure: an AR tape measure, using the LiDAR scanner on Pro iPhones.
• Compass: true and magnetic north, bearings, the angle between two directions and phone tilt.
• Spirit level and angle finder with calibration.
• Sight and height, photo protractor, stud finder, slope converter and altitude.

UNIT CONVERTER
Length, area and volume, including vigha, guntha, acre, hectare and brass.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking and no internet connection needed. Everything is worked out on your device.

CivilCal is a calculation aid. Have a qualified engineer check any design before it is built.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-10-26

CivilCal 2.1 is a complete rebuild for today’s iPhone and iPad.
• Choose your country: AS, IS, NZS, Eurocode (with UK NA), ACI/AISC/NDS and CSA codes, in metric or US units.
• New design tools: RCC columns with P–M charts, steel beams and section properties, timber beams and columns, and concrete mix design.
• Nine rate analyses with itemised costs.
• Site kit: AR tape measure (LiDAR on Pro models), compass, level, protractor, sight and height, photo angles, stud finder, slope and altitude.
• A new look with Light, Dark and Glass themes.
