Design Capacity Tables Evolved
When it comes to structural engineering, design capacity tables are a vital resource, especially for those working with open sections of structural steel. However, the table form is outdated and an intuitive tool is necessary to streamline workflows. Presented below are capacities for various open sections calculated in accordance with AS 4100-1998, and design capacities are in SI units with an easy to digest format.
Utilising the Tool Effectively
This tool is designed to demystify the complexities surrounding steel closed section capacities. Pick a ‘Designation’ from a dropdown list and magically conjured up are the Moment Capacities (Msx, Msy) and Web Capacity (Vv) faster than you can say “structural engineering.” Whether you’re designing a skyscraper or just trying to impress your boss, this app delivers the numbers you need with a click. Responsive, reliable, and ready to save your sanity (and your deadlines), this app is the superhero your design projects deserve.
