Overview

About the Calculator

The ClearCalcs steel beam calculator is now enhanced with torsion checks, enabling engineers to efficiently design and analyze steel beams. This advanced tool empowers engineers to precisely model multi-span closed-section steel beams under torsional loads, while ensuring compliance with the AISC 360-16 (ASD) Provisions. Furthermore loads can be dynamically linked between structural elements, so beams, columns, and connections can easily be linked and checked for adequacy..

Steel beam design with torsion checks to AISC 360-16

Easily model multi-span closed-section steel beams under torsional loads, in accordance with the US standards AISC 360-16. Achieve precise calculations for accurate design.

Simplify your steel beam design with easy-to-use input

With an intuitive interface, the Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) Calculator offers clear input options for key beam geometries such as yield strength, beam plan length, as well as loads input for distributed, point, and line loads. Streamline your calculations without any confusion or hassle.

Save time with instant summary section for torsional load, shear and axial forces

Receive a quick summary of your steel beam's capacity within minutes. Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) Calculator's summary section utilizes traffic light checks, allowing you to identify whether your calculation is passing or at full utilization for Torsional Load and Allowable Torsional Strength.

Access checks and references for one-way slab design calculation in a click of a button

Easily find the appropriate standards reference, clause, and description (reasoning) used for your one-way slab design calculation if you are unsure or want more information. Never be in the dark again!

Eliminate copy-pasting reactions between calculators with dynamic load linking

Dynamically link your Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) with loads from other calculators within ClearCalcs. Say goodbye to tedious copy-pasting of reactions, streamlining your workflow and saving valuable time.

Checks and references to AISC 360-16 with a click of a button

With a simple click, effortlessly find references to AISC 360-16 directly from the Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) Calculator. You can quickly locate the relevant calculations, formulas, or clauses within the standard, ensuring confidence in design compliance with the required standards.

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.
