StruCalc Column Design

January 21st, 2008

The column module in StruCalc is set up to design most posts in residential or light commercial projects.  The program first asks the user to specify the type of column to be designed. There are five different types of materials available in the column module:

  • solid sawn
  • glulam
  • structural composite
  • steel
  • tube steel

Each of these materials then has selections from the current National Design Specification in use for species, grade, width and depth.
