SkyCiv Reinforced Concrete
Integrated seamlessly with Structural 3D, the RC Design module supports concrete beam and column design for a variety of building codes. Run and optimize the concrete section designs calculations on your entire 3D structure in just a few clicks. Take advantage of detailed hand calculations for deeper investigation. Use the General Section Designer to easily layout rebar and design any shaped section.

Full Calculation Reports
SkyCiv believes engineers should have access to all the information of their designs. This includes the calculations made by the software. SkyCiv Concrete Design reports show the full step-by-step calculations, structural engineers can review:
- References to relevant chapters and checks (for ACI 318, EN2, CSA A23, BS 8110 and AS 3600)
- Custom Company logo and model setup information
- Detailed calculations of plastic centroid values
- Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
- Clear pass/fail summary results
- Download Sample Reinforce Concrete Calculation Report
Reinforced Concrete Designer
The SkyCiv General Section Designer module allows you to add reinforcement and loads to test your section's moment and axial capacities. Design your concrete sections easily, using SkyCiv General Section Designer:
- Add template or custom shapes via Section Builder
- Easy reinforcement input and editing capabilities
- Load in common materials, or add your own custom materials
- Apply multiple loads, testing more than one case in one go
- Review moment and axial capacities, stress/strains, stress contours and utility ratios
- Review real-time M-N interaction curves
Integrated with SkyCiv Structural 3D
With nothing to download or install, you can instanly pull the forces, spans, loads and load combinations directly from your structural analysis model. Instantly check your model for flexure, shear, axial and much more....
- Also fully integrated with SkyCiv Beam
- Forces automatically imported from structural models
- Supports load combinations from ASCE 7-10, AS 1170, EN1 and NBCC
- Spans, cross sections and materials imported from your model
- Class and group members together, to complete one design for multiple members
- Class and group members together, to complete one design for multiple members

Case Studies
Tried and Tested by Real Engineers around the World
“The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome. I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and everyone is excellent!”
It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well, highly recommended.
“It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations.”
