Vertical members that are part of a building frame are subjected to combined axial loads and bending moments. These forces develop due to external loads, such as dead, live, and wind loads. Simply put, an interaction diagram (or curve) displays the combinations of acceptable moment and axial capacities of a… read more →
The cross sections that a structural engineer works with range from common I-sections to complex composite or built up sections. SkyCiv’s Section Builder makes it easy to model your member’s cross section to determine complex shear, bending, and torsional properties. With SkyCiv Section Builder, you have a number of great… read more →
As a structural engineer, the ability to model fast is crucial to your work efficiency. Therefore it’s very important that the tools you use are helping you model quickly and effectively. After all, your time is the most valuable resource: the faster you model, the more you can accomplish. With… read more →
