Engineering Utilities for quick engineering design & calculation

General

The handy Engineering Utilities can be used for quick engineering design. This includes a calculator for concrete cover, rebar anchorage & lap lengths; simple beam analysis tool to calculate maximum shear, moment and deflections; hydraulics calculator for uniform flow depth & gradually varied flow, etc. 

Navigation

1. Go to Design Library (top dropdown menu) → Engineering Utilities
   

Layout

The following is the complete list of the modules and their functions :

1. Cover and Anchorage Calculator 
   
1. Calculates concrete cover, anchorage and lap lengths
   
2. Refer to this design guide for details : Rebar Anchorage and Lap Lengths
2. Hook Length Calculator
   
1. Calculates rebar bending, extension & total hook length
   
3.  Rebar Area Calculator
   
1. Calculates provided steel area per meter (e.g. 10H16 @ 100mm spacing) based on required steal area
   
4. Unit Conversion
   
1. Converts common engineering units, eg.  Pascal (Pa) à Kilopound Per Square Inch (ksi)
   
5. Simple Beam Analysis
   
1. Calculates maximum shear, moment & deflection for single span beam with various support condition such as simple, cantilever & fixed end
   
6. Uniform Flow Depth (Hydraulics)
   
1. Solves for discharge, flow depth, channel width or channel slope for rectangular, trapezoidal or circular channels under ‘uniform flow depth’ condition
   
7. Gradually Varied Flow (Hydraulics)
   
1. Solves for discharge, flow depth, channel width or channel slope for rectangular, trapezoidal or circular channels under ‘gradually varied flow’ condition
