Structural Design Challenges for American Engineers
Structural design in the United States requires engineers to interpret and apply a variety of codes whilst providing calculations that are clear, traceable and defensible. SkyCiv is a cloud-based structural design software aligned with U.S. design standards referenced by ASCE 7, AISC and ACI - aiding engineers to deliver transparent, review-ready designs with confidence.
U.S. engineers don't just submit calculations - they submit judgement. Clear assumptions, traceable decisions and defensible code applications are a necessity for approval by authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs).
To support this process, SkyCiv provides fast, engineering-led support from qualified structural engineers familiar with U.S design standards. Our team are here to help with software and modelling questions.
