@christianfekete thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! We have fixed the link to the webinar page. You can access them here: www.clearcalcs.com/webinars/roof-ceiling-construction

You're welcome!

Thanks for your feedback, we're really great to hear that!

Hi Chris, you may want to check out these two videos for load linking: - Linking loads between beams and columns: ua-cam.com/video/-7E8RiN00Dg/v-deo.htmlsi=dibM2xSNzXiCOKQn - Linking lateral loads to diaphragms and shear walls: ua-cam.com/users/livehN3AB3BE21c?si=jJnLZmdIxr4hCkpp&t=621 Let us know if you need more help!

Really appreciate it!

You're welcome!

Hi there, and thanks for viewing our channel from India! A few months ago, we ran a Structural Basics webinar that walks through how to read architectural and structural drawings. Check that webinar out here - ua-cam.com/video/MmBJdvIQCN4/v-deo.htmlsi=wKCXtfMGvww8qxCK. Hope this helps you understand the basics of reading US architectural and structural drawings!

Hi there - thank you for taking the time to share your insights about our tool - it's essential as we aim to enhance our user experience. As you mentioned regarding the technical verbiage, we agree that making our tool more intuitive is of great importance. Our goal is to make this free tool accessible to a broader audience, beyond just engineers. We are actively looking to enhance the tool with clearer explanations that will make it easier for non-engineers to understand and use. Regarding to the use of default input values, I can definitely see what you mean there! The intention with these preset default values was to kick-start the calculation with a common steel beam cross section, so you can see the basic results - such as bending moment, shear forces or deflection and diagrams. This was meant to offer a preliminary understanding of the tool's capabilities. However, you are free to adjust these values to better align with your specific design needs. Once again, thank you for your constructive feedback. We will work on making our free tool more user-friendly and on providing more accurate and understandable descriptions in future development! If you're interested in exploring other features, we invite you to try the full version of our software through a free trial - clearcalcs.com/signup. Thank you for helping us improve.

Hi there - thanks for reaching out! While we don’t currently offer floor trusses as an option in a wood beam calculator, you can analyze a floor truss using our Truss Analysis Wizard (clearcalcs.com/support/analysis/how-to-use-the-truss-analysis-wizard). We also offer an Open Web Steel Joist design calculator if you do steel joist design as well (clearcalcs.wistia.com/medias/0rmj6uypqa). Hope this helps!

Please resend link, not working

Hi there - thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately there isn’t currently an option to do LVL-to-LVL connections. We do offer a Simpson Strong Tie hanger connection calculator (clearcalcs.wistia.com/medias/tc12atyu2i), but we are working to expand our offering for other types of connections. To file this as a feature request, please reach out to us at help@clearcalcs.com, or use the little Help button at right bottom of our website to reach out to us. Thanks again for your question!

Hi there - thanks for reaching out! With a ridge board you would typically use our "wood roof tie" calculator, here is a support article you may find useful: clearcalcs.com/support/connections/wood-roof-ties-usage-theory-guide. Feel free to reach out to us at help@clearcalcs.com if you have any additional questions on this!

Hi there - thanks for reaching out! Regarding the wind loads of +13.7 and -30.0, David took a weighted average of the different values for different zones on the roof (Table 30.4-1 of ASCE 7-16). They're +13.7 in positive direction so that's where that comes from, and when looking in the negative direction, it comes out to approx -30.0 psf

Thank you for your comment here! We've noted this with Connor and will be adding a note to the video to correct our statement.

Hi Jim, thanks for your comments here! We don't really have any specific materials we can share at the moment but you can use our "Custom Thin-Walled Cross-Section" to do the finite strip analysis. However, as we don't currently have aluminium design module yet, you'll still have to do the actual design outside of ClearCalcs. Happy to connect you to one of our engineers if you wish to discuss more about this. Please reach out to help@clearcalcs.com and mentioned your question here!

Glad it was helpful!

Where are you based?

Hi there - thanks for reaching out on this one! To answer your question, yes, we check distortional buckling in our C-shape CFS beam calculations. You can find this information at the bottom of your ClearCalcs CFS beam design calculation in the “Distortional Buckling (AISI S100-16, Cl F4)” section. Feel free to sign up for a free 14-day trial here (clearcalcs.com/signup) if you haven’t checked it out already. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question here! Here's the answer from our one of our engineers: "Distortional buckling is a bit tricky. A (perhaps oversimplified) explanation is that it's very similar to local buckling, but instead of just one element buckling (e.g. a slender flange), multiple elements buckle locally together as one - thus making the cross-section appear distorted. It's essentially just another failure mode - for members that have stiffened flanges (e.g. typical studs), this might govern - where the web and flanges buckle together instead of just the flange buckling." If you want to ask further questions, please reach out to us at help@clearcalcs.com. 👋🏽

@@ClearCalcs thanks..... did you meaning in a "stiffened flanges" flange connected to concrete slab ?

Sandra, we really appreciate your comment here and we hope you find what you're looking for in ClearCalcs. Remember, our engineers will answer any of your questions in 1-2 business days to make sure you're successful in your projects!

Hi there - thanks for reaching out! We’ll work to create a webinar on designing timber trusses in metric units. In the meantime, check out our support article here on how to analyze timber trusses in metric units (clearcalcs.com/support/analysis/how-to-use-the-truss-analysis-wizard).

Hi Miguel, thanks for your question here! Our current Wood Shear Wall calculator only supports single storey. Our engineering team are currently looking into supporting multiple stories as well for our users. If you have any specific recommendations for the calculator, I highly encourage you to reach out to us at help@clearcalcs.com - our structural engineers will reply to you personally to respond!

Hi Rhamdhani, for more info about the Cold-Formed Steel Beam Design to AS4600:2018, please visit: clearcalcs.com/calculations/au/cfsSteelBeamAS4600-2018

Hi thank you for your question and sorry for the late reply. You are indeed correct-according to Table 4B of the NDS 2018, the allowable bending stress (Fb) for 2"-4" No.1 South Pine Wood species is 1500 psi. We appreciate your keen observation. There used to be a bug in the template when we created that webinar (which about 3 years ago). However, this bug had been corrected. If you visit our updated wood beam calculator and select this specific wood type, you'll find the corrected Fb value listed under the 'Member Properties' section, I'm sorry UA-cam reply cannot include a screenshot, Recommend sign up for a free 14-day trial here (clearcalcs.com/signup) and check out the Fb value. Thank you once again for your comment.

Thanks for your comment, Richard! I've forwarded this to our engineer so we can build the help content for you.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Ehab!

Hi there - we appreciate you reaching out here! Regarding our license tiers, you can access all reinforced concrete calculators (beams, columns, footings, retaining walls) on the Pro level. Apologies if this is unclear on our Pricing Page (clearcalcs.com/pricing/us) that describes what’s involved in each level! Let us know if you have any questions at help@clearcalcs.com. If you’ve already trialed the software in the past and would like a reactivation, we’d be happy to get you squared away!

Hi there - while we do support ACI 318-19 for concrete beams, columns, footings, retaining walls, and others, we unfortunately don’t currently offer a concrete slab calculator. This is something our team is working on adding to our offering! Thanks again for reaching out on this.

Thank you for watching our video

Hi there - thanks for reaching out on this! I’ve included a link here that jumps directly to the worked example for cold formed steel beams to AISI S100-16 (clearcalcs.com/support/beams/how-to-design-a-cold-formed-steel-beam-to-aisi-s100-16). Hope this helps!
