Overview

About the Calculator

Easily design and analyse rectangular concrete beams using the most recent AS3600:2018 A2 standard using the ClearCalcs concrete beam calculator. With support for unlimited supports and loads, as well as the ability to customise steel reinforcement in the beam, the FEA based concrete beam calculator enables extremely fast and accurate concrete design and analyis.

Rectangular concrete designs to Australian standards

Fast and accurate design and analysis of rectangular concrete beams and columns using the most recent AS 3600:2018 Concrete code that specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete building structures and members that contain reinforcing steel or tendons, or both.

Helpful concrete presets with common default properties

ClearCalcs concrete beam calculator comes with presets such as generic indoor beams or retaining wall sleepers. Presets enable you to quickly design a wide range of different calculation types using smart, prefilled settings to save time.

Easily link loads and reactions between concrete designs

ClearCalcs support for dynamic load linking between concrete beam-to-beam or concrete beam-to-column connections. No need to manually copy and paste reactions between calculations in your spreadsheet! The load-linking feature support connecting reactions between members as distributed loads, line loads, or point & moment loads.

Color-coded utilization checks for your concrete designs

Verify your concrete designs and calculations at a glance with easy color-coded demand-to-capacity ratios using our traffic light system. The system summarises your positive moment capacity, shear capacity, as well as governing short team, long term, and imposed load deflection values for your design.

Checks and references to relevant codes and standards at a click of a button

Easily find the appropriate standards reference, clause, and description (reasoning) that was used for your Masonry Gravity Wall calculation or formula if you are unsure or want more information.

Why ClearCalcs?

Frustration to Flow

See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

With ClearCalcs

Effortless, efficient engineering calculations at your fingertips.

100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.

Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.

Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.

Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.

How It Works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
