Sawn, Glu-Lam, PSL, and I-joist… up to twenty solutions all shown simultaneously. Most members input and sized in about 15 seconds. No more guessing, span tables, or being railroaded to one type of product.
Many options: No other software gives you as many alternatives per run!
• Sawn boards: All sawn members recognized by the 1997 NDS (approximately 40 species).
• Glue laminated: more than 30 grades.
• Paralam®: the full line of 2.0 E.
• TJI-Pro®: the full line of the series.
End reactions, max shear, max moment, max deflection, efficiency, and required bearing areas automatically calculated.
Accepts all these options:
• Use either ‘psf’ or ‘plf’ (pounds per square foot or pounds per linear foot) for uniform loading calculations.
• Partial uniform and wedge (triangular) loads.
• Variable deflection criteria.
Point Loads can be input as ‘psf’ (with tributary areas) or simple point loads.
Adjusts for self-weight even if you don’t include it!
Displays these graphs:
• Loading diagram: Shows the beam and all loads.
• Shear diagram
• Moment diagram
• Deflection diagram
Example problems:
Several illustrated, well-documented example problems are included for each ConstructionCalc program. Over thirty solved examples are included with the Basic Structural Bundle.
