What is a Steel Load Calculator?
A steel load calculator is a tool used in structural engineering to estimate the load-carrying capacity of steel members, such as beams or columns.
It considers factors like the type of steel section, length of the member, and applied loads.
Why use a Steel Load Calculator?
- Structural Design: Assists in designing steel members for specific loads and spans.
- Material Selection: Helps in selecting appropriate steel sections based on load requirements.
- Load Distribution: Assists in calculating the load per unit length on steel members.
- Code Compliance: Ensures compliance with local building codes and standards.
