BEAM ANALYSIS
• These calculations analyse any beam arrangement up to 10 spans. The analysis is suitable for simple beams and
continuous beams.
• The loading types available are point load, UDL, VDL, trapezoidal loading, partial UDL and point couple. The support
conditions available are fixed, pinned or spring. There are 20 user-definable load combinations.
BEAM END CONNECTION DESIGN (BS5950:PART1:2000)

• From Joints in Simple Construction Volume 1: Design Methods - 2nd Edition (The BCSA/SCI Green Book) and
updated in June 2000 for BS5950-1:2000. NOTE - the BCSA/SCI Green Book is currently undergoing revision both
for the BS5950-1:2000 amendment and to widen its scope. These calculations will be updated following its re-
publication.
• The following connection types are handled:-
o angle cleats.
beam to beam
beam to beam to beam
beam to column web
beam to column flange
beam to column web to beam
o end plates
beam to beam
beam to column web
o fin plates

• For a single connection, the calculations perform a check design in accordance with each of the checks as defined in
the BCSA/SCI Green Book for the applied loads.
• The calculations also consider the forces due to structural integrity if required.
• As appropriate, user defined notches are considered in beam to beam connections
• The results can be output in full - details for every check, as detailed in the Green Book or in a summary format - one
line per check.

BOUNDARY COLUMN FIRE DESIGN (SCI P313)

• From SCI document ‘SCI P313 – Single Storey Steel Framed Buildings in Fire Boundary Conditions’.
• These calculations analyse single or multi-span, symmetrical pitched portal frame in fire boundary condition under
normal loading.
• The validity of the portal frame geometry is checked, using the ratio L/h > 1.0 (SCI guide cl 5.1)
Page 5 of 44
BUILDING WIND LOAD (BS6399:PART2:1997)

• Using either the standard or hybrid method, these calculations determine the dynamic pressure (qs) and the
unfactored net surface pressure (p) on the walls and roof of a rectangular building with a flat or pitched roof..
• One wind direction is considered for each run of the calculations. Hence up to four runs would be required to
determine the worst suction and pressure loads on any particular wall or roof surface from all wind directions.
• The pressures are calculated for all the appropriate wall and roof zones, as defined in the code. The lengths of the
various wall zones are also calculated.
• The overall load on a building from wind on two opposing walls can be calculated. You can also enter the values of
additional horizontal contributions from roof, parapet and frictional drag loads so that the overall wind load on the
building can be determined in accordance with code clause 2.1.3.6.
• BS 6399: Part 2: 1997 - Loading for buildings: Part 2. Code of practice for wind loads. Including Amendment No. 1.

COLD FORMED SECTIONS (BS5950:PART5:1998)

• This calculation is performed in accordance with BS5950-5:1998.
• It covers the design of plain and lipped channels and ‘top hat’ type sections subjected to compression and tension
loads plus plain angle sections subjected to tension only loading. The channels and top hat sections must have at
least one axis of symmetry.
• The user can select to specify either a welded or bolted end connection. For the bolted case, it is assumed that the
connection is made through the web for the channel and top hat sections and through the leg perpendicular to the x
axis for the angle ie through the leg with dimension D (note that the inertia about the x axis may be less than that
about the y axis unless the tension force is small (see last paragraph under ‘Limitations/Assumptions’) so effectively
the connection can be made through either leg). If appropriate, the moments arising due to the eccentric bolted
connection are calculated and considered in the design. For the case of welded end connection it is assumed that no
bending moments arise due to eccentricity of the connection.
• Additional externally applied bending moments about the y axis may also be included. It is considered that this may
be useful for the design of the top and bottom members of trusses or lattices where moments will occur if they are
modelled as continuous members or where purlins are not located at node points.
• The user has the option to take account of the increase in yield strength arising from the cold forming of the section.
The user’s attention, however, is drawn to clause 3.4 of BS5950-5:1998 which states that the effects of cold forming
should not be considered if the member is to undergo any form of heat treatment which may produce softening
following forming.

COLUMN BASE PLATE DESIGN (BS5950:PART1:2000)

• These calculations determine the minimum size of base plate required to transmit the forces in an axially loaded
column into the foundations. The calculations use the effective area method approach of BS 5950-1:2000 cl 4.13.2.
The calculations incorporate the column section size when calculating the required base plate size. This means that
the required base plate size will always be sufficient to take the footprint of the column section.
• The maximum bearing strength of the base is taken as 0.6 fcu, where fcu is the characteristic cube strength of the
concrete base or the bedding material.
• The required bearing area is calculated for the load applied in the column.
• Equating the calculated effective area and the required bearing area yields a quadratic equation - the solution of this
determines the minimum base plate size. The user can edit the automatically calculated values to specify the final
size of base plate that they want to use.
• The calculations determine the minimum thickness required for the base plate.
• The calculations use the specified base plate thickness to recalculate the value of c and determine the effective base
plate area.

COLUMN LOAD CHASE DOWN (BS6399:PART1:1996)

• BS 6399: Part 1: 1996 - Loading for buildings: Part 1. Code of practice for dead and imposed loads.
• These calculations work out the factored axial loads on each stack of a multi-storey column due to dead and
imposed loading.
• The calculations cover internal, edge and corner columns.
• Imposed loads can be reduced in accordance with clause 6.2 of the code, or the full imposed loads can be applied
with no reduction. If the option to include reduction factors is selected, they are set by default to the values in Table 2
of the code. The default reduction factors can be overridden with values chosen by the user. The calculations always
assume that the top ‘floor’ is a roof, not qualifying for reduction, and that all floors below this do qualify.

• The calculation determines the exposure class or classes for the concrete element under consideration.
• From the exposure class or classes the calculation determines, as applicable, the minimum concrete requirements
including cover, strength class, maximum water/cement ratio, minimum cement content, allowable cements and
combinations and allowable aggregates.
• The calculation covers reinforced, unreinforced, normal or lightweight concrete with intended working life of at least
50 or 100 years. The concrete may include air-entrainment or not.

CONCRETE SUB-FRAME ANALYSIS (BS8110:PART1:1997)

• These calculations consider a simplified sub-frame consisting only of a beam, the columns attached to the ends of
the beam and the beams on either side, if any, using BS 8110: Part 1: 1997 cl. 3.2.1.2.3.
• The calculations firstly determine the geometry of the three spans (including area and second moment of area), the
stiffness of the end beams is modelled by applying a stiffness factor to the second moment of area (the fixity of the
beam remote ends determine the stiffness of the beams on either side of the central beam). The calculations use the
sub-frame geometry and properties within the continuous beam analysis program, where the loads can be added in
order to determine the design shear force and moment. These forces can then be optionally used in the RC beam
design calculations, to design span 2 (the central beam). The RC beam design calculations cover one moment
check so whether the check is for sagging or hogging must be determined before the design calculations are run.
• The size and stiffness of the columns are translated into vertical and rotational spring stiffnesses for the supports
used in the continuous beam. The moments generated in the supports are then used to determine the moments in
the columns of the sub-frame.

CRANE GANTRY GIRDER (BS5950:PART1:2000)

• This calculation is performed in accordance with BS5950-1:2000.
• It covers the design of simply supported gantry girders comprising of either a plain ‘I’ section (UB or UC), an ‘I’
section with a capping plate or an ‘I’ section with a capping channel carrying a conventional overhead travelling
crane ie not an underslung crane. In the case of the ‘I’ section with a capping channel the flanges of the channel are
assumed to point downwards.
• The user can select to input the values of the ultimate vertical and horizontal shear forces and bending moments or,
alternatively, the calculation can be used to determine the maximum wheel loads from the basic crane data input by
the user ie. crane and crab weight, safe working load, span of crane bridge, minimum hook approach, number of
wheels and class of crane in accordance with BS2573-1:1983. For the latter option, based on the number of wheels,
their spacing and the span of the gantry girder, the calculation determines the wheel arrangement giving the
maximum shear force and bending moment before proceeding to calculate them.
• For the case where the calculation is used to determine the bending moments and shear forces it can accommodate
one crane only on the simply supported span but covers the cases of the end carriage having two or four wheels.
• If an ‘I’ section with a capping plate or channel is selected the calculation determines both the elastic and plastic
section properties for the compound section.
• For the user specified girder, the calculation checks the vertical and horizontal shear capacity, the biaxial bending
capacity, the web buckling and bearing capacity beneath the concentrated wheel load, the capacity of the weld
connecting the plate or channel to the ‘I’ section and the vertical and horizontal deflections.

Timber Timber Steel Steel

Steel Timber
• The sizes of the timber and steel members are user defined, users enter a breadth and depth of section plus the
number of members. The steel plate should be no deeper than the timber members.
• The calculations generate the section properties of the individual timber and steel elements as well as the composite
section.

GABLE FRAMING ANALYSIS

• BS 5950-1: 2000 - Structural use of steelwork in buildings - Part 1. Code of practice for design - Rolled and welded
section.
• These calculations cover the overall structural analysis and member design checks for gable framing arrangements
typically adopted for single-span portal-framed buildings. The structural concept for the gable frame bracing is as
shown in section 9.7, fig. 10, of the ISE/ICE 'Manual for the design of steelwork building structures' (Nov 1989
edition).
• Member design checks can be carried out for the following members:-
o Gable posts, corner posts, gable rafters, roof bracing, wall bracing and eaves strut/tie.
• One run of the analysis calculations covers one loading condition, i.e. one combination of simultaneous loads, for
which all the specified loads are applied. Thus several runs of the calculations will be required to determine the
critical load combination and wind direction for the design of each member.
• For each run of the analysis calculations, one particular intermediate gable post is chosen by the user and the
member load effects are calculated for this particular gable post. Typically, this will be the post directly below the
apex, but any post can be chosen. If restraint conditions or other factors indicate that another post may be critical,
additional calculation runs should be made for that post.
• A parapet with a horizontal top edge can be specified in the definition of the structure. Parapet posts are assumed to
coincide with the gable posts and to be continuous cantilever projections of the gable posts. The parapet posts
themselves are not analysed or designed.
• After the structure has been analysed using the 'Analysis calcs' item, multiple instances of the 'Member design calcs'
item can be run in separate calc sections, one for each member, to extract the appropriate member geometry and
loading details from the analysis calcs and automatically feed these into the standard 'General member design'
routine for each member, where further choices can be made on steel grade, section shape, buckling restraint
conditions etc.

GENERAL MEMBER SAFE LOAD TABLES (BS5950:PART1:2000)

• From BS 5950-1:2000.
• These calculations cover the design of beam and column elements using safe load tables.
• Beams
o The types of design available are major axis bending and shear, using UB or UC sections or the ultimate
UDL capacity for a fully restrained RSC or RSJ.
• Columns
o The types of design available are simple column check (UC only), tie check (angles only) and strut buckling
checks (all elements).
o For details on the Simple column check please refer to the Notes for this item (either from within the
calculation or in the Library Access System).
o For both element types, the relevant input information is entered and then a suitable section can be
selected from the relevant safe load/ultimate capacity table.
HIPPED END LOADING

• These calculations determine the loading on the gable frame, flat top portal and first portal frame resulting from a hip
extending over two frame centres.
• It is assumed that the flat top portal gives no support to the hip raker. This introduces a small error local to the
intersection of the flat top portal and the hip raker. All loads from the raker do pass to the flat top via the local jack
rafters.

HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT (PART 1 TD9/93)

• From Part 1 TD 9/93 - Highway link design.
• Horizontal curve - These calculations design a circular horizontal curve (no transitions). The calculation uses a
'generic number of chords' method, which calculates the optimum chord length based on the criteria of the length of
chord required to approximate the arc length of the curve, or a standard set of 7 points. As well as either the 7
points, or the generic number of points, the start and end point of the curve are calculated.
• Optional calculations are:
o The minimum stopping sight distance.
o The minimum full overtaking sight distance.
o The transition curve length.
o A conversion of the input in degrees, minutes and seconds into decimal format.
• Vertical curve - These calculations design a vertical curve and provide the setting out information (reduced levels at
the relevant chainage points). This calculation can be phased with the horizontal curve design, to enable the same
setting out points to be used.
• For phasing of the horizontal and vertical curves, a reference point on the horizontal curve must be given. The
chainage points are then calculated in relation to this reference point. The chord length (or frequency of levels)
should also coincide with the chord length used in the horizontal alignment calculations. Where applicable the
appropriate default values are given.

MASONRY WALL PANEL DESIGN (BS5628)

• In accordance with BS 5628 Code of practice for the use of masonry - Part 1: Structural use of unreinforced masonry
and Part 2: Structural use of reinforced and prestressed masonry.
• This calculation designs masonry wall panels and sub panels of single-leaf or cavity wall construction, either with or
without bed joint reinforcement and with or without masonry piers, subjected to horizontal and/or vertical loading.
• Walls may be designed using brick, conrete block, natural stone or random rubble masonry.
• Depending on the aspect ratio of the panel and the external support conditions the calculation uses either yield line
analysis or simple elastic analysis to determine the appropriate bending moment coefficient.
• Wall panels may include up to three openings, the calculation automatically divides the panel into two sets of sub
panels, arrangement A where the panels predominantly span vertically and arrangement B where the panels
predominantly span horizontally. The results reported in the calculation are based on the more favourable of the two
arrangements. Where the panel is only supported on three edges sub panel arrangements spanning toward the free
edge are automatically ignored.

reinforcement required in the beam, outputting this data in a table. The second mode allows the user to prepare a full
design calculation for the beam.
• The full design mode allows the user to design the beam at any and every cross section they may choose,
identifying the appropriate design moments and loads to use in each instance and allowing different reinforcement to
be specified as required.

RC BEAM TORSION DESIGN (BS8110:PART2:1985)

• The calculation allows the design to be performed in accordance with either clause 2.4 of BS8110-2:1985 or clause
2.4 of CP65:Part 2:1996 (1999). The two codes of practice are very similar in their approach but use slightly different
equations for calculating the shear strength of the beam vc. In addition, BS8110 adopts a material partial safety
factor for steel of 1.05 whereas CP65 uses 1.15. In all other respects, the two codes are identical.
• It determines the quantity of torsional reinforcement (links and longitudinal bars) required, if any, for a solid
rectangular section subjected to a combination of direct shear force and torsional moment.
• The dimensions of the beam are user defined, users enter the breadth and depth of the section plus the concrete
and reinforcement properties and both the direct shear force and torsional moment.
• The calculation checks the user input link properties for the applied shear force and torsional moment and also
calculates the area of longitudinal torsion reinforcement required.

RC RAFT FOUNDATION (BS8110-1:1997/CP65-1:1999)

• This calculation assesses the ability of elements of a raft to support various loading arrangements without exceeding
the allowable bearing pressure. It also determines the quantities of reinforcement required to support the loads whilst
spanning over theoretical circular depressions in the sub-soil which are assumed to form beneath the raft. The
design of the reinforced concrete elements of the raft can be performed in accordance with either BS8110-1:1997 or
CP65-1:1999.
• It is considered that the calculation is appropriate to low-rise type structures founded on relatively poor ground.
• The user has the option to input the basic diameter of the depression manually or to allow it to be determined by the
calculation. The calculated value is based on the number of sub-soil types present and their densities and ranges in
value from 1.5m to 3.5m. It should be noted that the calculated value is approximate only and the user should verify
that the value obtained is appropriate to their particular situation.
• The raft may comprise of a plain uniform thickness slab or may have edge thickening beams and optional internal
thickening beams. There is the option for the edge beams to have a boot to the outer face and/or a chamfer to the
inner face. For the internal beams there is the option to have chamfered sides.
• The slab element of the raft must be reinforced with square mesh. The mesh may be located in both the top and
bottom faces or in the top face only. The beam elements must be reinforced in the top and bottom faces with loose
bar reinforcement and in addition must have vertical shear reinforcement. If inclined reinforcement is provided, for
example in the chamfered face of a beam, this should not be included as part of the shear reinforcement.

RC STRIP FOOTING DESIGN (BS8110:PART1:1997)

• These calculations start from an applied load per metre run and an allowable bearing pressure, and determine the
minimum foundation width required to keep the net bearing pressure below the permissible bearing pressure.
• For mass concrete foundations, the calculations check that the spread of the load in the footing is >45 degrees and
hence an unreinforced solution is adequate.
• For reinforced footings the calculations calculate the shear and moment at the face of the wall and calculate the
minimum reinforcement required for the base.
• The calculations require that the wall type (internal, party or cavity) is selected. This wall type is only relevant if a wall
load chase down calculation has been run before this calculation. The correct loads will be picked up automatically in
this instance if the same wall type is selected.
• The effective depth is calculated using the nominal cover and half the estimated bar diameter. Once the actual bars
have been selected, the effective depth is assumed to stay the same and the cover is assumed to be dependant
upon the bar size. The actual cover is calculated and compared against the allowable cover. The effect of this is that
if the bar diameter is greater than the initial estimated value, then the cover check may fail and the calculations need
to be re-run. In reality if the placement of the bars is dependant upon the cover then the effect of a greater bar size
than that estimated is that the effective depth may be overestimated and hence the calculations should be re-run
anyway. If a smaller bar size is selected, then the effective depth may be underestimated and hence be slightly
conservative. As a result it is recommended that the initial estimate of bar size is the greatest size that might possibly
be used, this will result in accurate or slightly conservative results.

SIMPLE COLUMN SAFE LOAD TABLES (BS5950:PART1:2000)

• From BS 5950-1:2000 cl 4.7.7 - columns in simple construction.
• These calculations allow the design of a column in simple construction using the appropriate safe load tables. The
column can be based on one of three levels - top (column below), intermediate (columns above and below) and
bottom (column above).
• Initial sections are selected for each applicable level and used to determine the moment distribution factors.
• Using the calculated moment distribution factors (determined from the section’s properties), the entered loads and
eccentricities of the incoming elements, the calculations determine the x and y axis moments for the column.
• The loads also include for up to 4 incoming beams at both top and bottom of the column section being designed
(dependent upon which level is selected).
• The moments and axial load can be used to determine the optimum section from the safe load tables. For the
easiest selection of a section use the search facility in the safe load tables to narrow down the range of sections that
can be selected. The values used for the final check are the buckling resistance Mbs, and the minimum of the
compressive resistances for major and minor axes - Pcx and Pcy.

between 5 and 100 years. In order to allow a range of return periods to be selected, table 2 has been extended to
include Z2 growth factor values for 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years using figures taken from “Volume 4 – The Modified
Rational Method”, of the DOE publication, “Design and analysis of urban storm drainage – The Wallingford
procedure”, published in 1981.

is suitable.
• The calculations also check that the soakaway discharges from full to half volume within 24 hours.

using this, calculate the relevant rainfall for each rainfall duration. Using these values the inflow for each duration is
calculated along with the outflow (given the soil infiltration rate)

• A swale is a linear grassed drainage feature in which surface water can be stored or conveyed. Swales have a
significant pollutant removal potential and can be designed to allow infiltration under appropriate conditions. They are
particularly suitable for diffuse collection of water runoff from small residential or commercial developments, paved
areas and roads.

TIMBER BEAM DESIGN (BS5268:PART2:2002)

• From BS5268-2:2002
• These calculations check the design of a solid timber, glulam, structural timber composite or flitch beam.
• For solid timber, glulam and structural timber composite beams it is possible to define notches to either the top or
bottom of the beam section at either one or both bearings.
• For solid timber, glulam and structural timber composite beams there is an option of setting the beam section on an
incline as may be the case in the design of a purlin.
• If required it is possible to define grade stresses and modulii for timber, glulam and timber composite materials.
• The beam section is checked against applied bending, shear and bearing stresses. Further calculations check the
beam deflection.

TIMBER JOIST DESIGN (BS5268:PART2:2002)

• From BS5268-2:2002
• These calculations check the design of a solid, simply supported timber joist subjected to a uniformly distributed load
and a point load.
• The dimensions of the timber joists are user defined, users enter a breadth and depth of section plus the joist
spacing, clear span and both dead and imposed loads.
• If required the user is able to define notches to either the top or bottom flanges at either bearing.
• The calculations generate the section properties of the individual joists.
• The joist is checked under two separate load cases, one where the joist is subjected to an imposed UDL and one
where the joist is subjected to an imposed point load.
• For each load case the joist section is checked against applied bending, shear and bearing stresses. Further
calculations check the joist deflection.

• Joist deflection is limited to the lesser of 0.003 times the joist span or 14 mm.
TIMBER MEMBER DESIGN (BS5268:PART2:2002)

• From BS 5268-2:2002.
• These calculations check a timber section to BS 5268-2:2002. The timber section can be user defined, by entering a
breadth and depth of section, or selected from a datalist of pre-defined timber sections.
• The calculations check for shear, bending and deflection. Also available is axial loading (either tension or
compression) in which case both the axial load, and the combined effects are checked.
• The calculations allow the entry of a notch in the member, either top or bottom and check the shear accordingly.

UNDERPINNING NEEDLE BEAM DESIGN (BS8110:PART1:1997)

• These calculations allow the entry of a needle (ground) beam geometry. This information is used to set up the
continuous beam analysis program. The analysis results are then used in the RC member design calculations to
perform checks on the pre-defined element size and reinforcement details. For more details on the RC member
design please read the appropriate notes for that calculation.

VALLEY BEAM ANALYSIS & DESIGN

• These calculations calculate the forces on a valley beam from the basic geometry and loading. The calculations also
optionally allow the design of the valley and optionally calculate the stiffness of the beam (see
Limitations/Assumptions below).
• The number of spans available are 1 to 5 which equates to 2 bays to 10 bays.
• The calculations take the geometry and loads entered and set up the correct information in the continuous beam
analysis program for analysis. At the point of analysis the input data can be edited.
• The design of the beam can be via the TEDDS general member design (recommended) or by linking the data
provided manually to the S-Steel scratch pad.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT (PART 1 TD9/93)

• From Part 1 TD 9/93 - Highway link design.
• Horizontal curve - These calculations design a circular horizontal curve (no transitions). The calculation uses a
'generic number of chords' method, which calculates the optimum chord length based on the criteria of the length of
chord required to approximate the arc length of the curve, or a standard set of 7 points. As well as either the 7
points, or the generic number of points, the start and end point of the curve are calculated.
• Optional calculations are:
o The minimum stopping sight distance.
o The minimum full overtaking sight distance.
o The transition curve length.
o A conversion of the input in degrees, minutes and seconds into decimal format.
• Vertical curve - These calculations design a vertical curve and provide the setting out information (reduced levels at
the relevant chainage points). This calculation can be phased with the horizontal curve design, to enable the same
setting out points to be used.
• For phasing of the horizontal and vertical curves, a reference point on the horizontal curve must be given. The
chainage points are then calculated in relation to this reference point. The chord length (or frequency of levels)
should also coincide with the chord length used in the horizontal alignment calculations. Where applicable the
appropriate default values are given.
VIBRATION OF HOSPITAL FLOORS (SCI P331)

• From the Steel Construction Institute publication “Design Guide on the Vibration of Floors in Hospitals” P331.
• Calculates the natural frequency of a floor system using the deflection method.
• Checks the natural frequency of the floor system and the corresponding response factor.

WALL LOAD CHASE DOWN (BS6399:PART1:1996)

• From BS6399:part 1:1996.
• These calculations determine the factored and unfactored design loads on the foundations under the walls in
consideration for a multi-storey building, based on the loading from the floors either side of the wall on each level
and the self weight of the wall.
• These calculations also calculate the factored wall design load at each level of the building, again based on the
loading from the floors above the wall on each level and the self weight of the wall. The total load includes the whole
self weight of the wall on the level at which it is being considered.
• The dead loads are built up from the separate elements of each area, such as the roof, including sensible default
values e.g. under roof loading the total dead load is built up from Tiles, Battens, Felt and Rafters etc., all of which
have default values but which can changed to suit.
• The walls types that can be considered are party, internal or cavity walls.
• The roof can be timber or steel and sloping or flat. Each floor can be timber, in-situ or precast concrete.

WIND GIRDER ANALYSIS & DESIGN

• These calculations calculate the design forces for a 3-6 bay wind girder.
• The loading can be entered as point loads at each girder node position, or as a UDL across the whole girder.
• Optionally the calculations will design the elements using the safe load tables. The user is presented with the forces
in the member and can then select an appropriate section from CHS, RHS or SHS, depending upon what was
chosen originally.
