Overview

About the Calculator

Easily design and analyse rectangular concrete beams using ACI 318-14 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 analysis.

Concrete design to ACI 318-14

Easily design and analyze rectangular concrete beams and columns using the Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete ACI 318-14.

Fast and accurate concrete design and analysis

FEA-based concrete beam and column calculators with support for unlimited supports and loads, as well as the ability to customize steel reinforcement in the beam.

Add load reactions between concrete beams and columns

Dynamically link load reactions between structural elements, so concrete beams and columns can easily be linked and checked for adequacy.

Traffic light checks

Get instant results for your concrete design with our easy-to-understand traffic light checks for moment, deflection, and shear.

Full workings and references at the click of a button

Easily find the appropriate standards reference, clause, and description (reasoning) that was used for your concrete 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Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.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.
