Beam and Column Calculator - on line Demo

The fastest and easiest way to design and/or check beams and columns.

Plan Analyst covers all of the common materials (wood, LVL's Glue-Lam and steel).
You don't need a library of reference books and/or software. Most homes and small commercial building designs use beams and headers of several different materials. With Plan Analyst, you have one procedure for all beams and headers. If you want to check another material or size, you simply edit the description and recheck the beam.

You simply select the material and size.

Then select the loading condition and enter the loads on the beam.


Plan Analyst calculates the bending, shear and deflection and provides you with a detailed drawing showing the beam with the loads and  the results.

For columns, you simply enter the height, size of the column, bracing and bearing condition. Plan Analyst will calculate the maximum load that the    column can support.



There is not a easier way to design or check beams and columns.
