structural / design

Choose the code. Size the section. Check the design.

Select Eurocode or Hong Kong Code, choose concrete or steel, and calculate section properties. Run a scoped resistance check, then revise as needed.

step 3 / jurisdiction

Start with the design code.

Choose the jurisdiction before the material so Eurocode and Hong Kong requirements are never mixed into one confusing list.

step 4 / code and material

Choose concrete or steel within the selected code.

Each card below is one unambiguous code-and-material route. Reinforcement is entered as practical bar arrangements such as 4T20 or T20 @ 150 mm, not as a pre-calculated area.

EUROCODE2 live

Concrete · EN 1992

Rectangular reinforced-concrete beam checks with declared first-generation Eurocode scope.

EUROCODE3 live

Steel · EN 1993

Scoped cross-section and member-stability checks using designer-verified properties and classifications.

HONG KONG CODE3 live

Concrete Code

Beam and one-way slab checks using buildable reinforcement arrangements and the stated amendment basis.

HONG KONG CODE1 live

Steel Code

Fully restrained, low-shear section resistance with explicit exclusions for member stability and interaction.

step 5 / section and iteration

Vary section properties inside the design loop.

Section geometry is not only a separate reference task. Use it while sizing a member, then bring the revised properties back to the selected code check.

Calculate the properties required by the resistance tools without leaving the structural-design route.

Analysis → section → code check → revision.

  1. 01
    Analyse the actions

    Obtain design moments, shears, and axial forces from a suitable model and combination basis.

  2. 02
    Choose dimensions and reinforcement

    Calculate geometric properties or enter a practical bar arrangement.

  3. 03
    Run the selected code check

    Confirm every input, validity gate, source edition, and excluded check.

  4. 04
    Revise and repeat

    Change the section or reinforcement, then recalculate until all required checks are complete.

Preliminary mechanics only

For early sizing, the code-neutral RC capacity screen and required-reinforcement screen remain available. They do not replace a Eurocode or Hong Kong Code design.

Scope guard

Every live code tool is a declared subset, not a complete design. Loading combinations, interaction, serviceability, durability, fire, detailing, connections, omitted stability modes, and professional review remain separate unless the tool explicitly includes them.
