What it does

  • Circular sections with a ring of longitudinal bars, under compression, tension or bending
  • ACI 318 with ACI 224R (Gergely-Lutz, A = 2dc·s), EN 1992-1-1 Cl. 7.3.4 and BS methods
  • Choice of which code gives the verdict, with limits you can set
  • Step-by-step calculation sheet and formula panel for each code
  • Save and open input files, export inputs, print or save the report as PDF

How it is checked

Before release the calculation engine is checked against an independent fibre-section model and recoded equations (240 checks), every button and option is tested automatically (106 tests), and the EN 1992 results are compared with a published external calculator.

The tools run entirely in your browser; inputs are not sent to us. They are provided free and without warranty, as an aid to design and checking. Results must be reviewed by a qualified engineer, who remains responsible for the design.
