General Programs

MathCad Applications in Civil Engineering. Actually the site contains MathCad applications in various fields. Files 282-326 are devoted to civil and mechanical engineering.

A Collection of Civil Engineering design programs is available in Italian (even though they can be easily understood). Programs are developped by Piero Gelfi, instructor of Steel design in the University of Brescia.

Collection of free structural spreadsheets Information provided by Hercules Ploumis.

TEDDSLite FREE Trial Calculations: TEDDS is a productivity tool for day-to-day repetitive calculations which replaces hand written calculations. Although it is a commercial product, a selection of few of the full commercial library calculations are available to download and use within the free TEDDS Lite version.

Free STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS Software: For the minimalistic-oriented engineer, a collection of 40 small programs for bridges, buildings and foundations. Command-line, no graphics, each program performs a very specific task. By Herbert G. Whitman, PE.

Atlas 2.0 (949 kB- Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP) is a program targeted at architects and construction engineers. The program has a very easy interface. It lets you enter your data with the mouse, and it shows the resulting moments and shear forces immediately in both a graphical and numerical way. Maximum bending moments can easily be calculated. Atlas is freeware!

Shear.exe is a Computer Based Training module that developed by Professor Timothy J. McCarthy with students in Manchester.  It covers a description of shear stresses in structures, shear flow and shear centre.

Membrane-2000 is an easy to use analysis program that will calculate the load-deformation relationship for a uniform panel of reinforced concrete subjected to in-plane shear loading. The program implements the Modified Compression Field Theory as well as the Rotating Angle-Softened Truss Model and the Fixed Angle-Softened Truss Models. The program was developed at the University of Toronto as part of the thesis of Evan Bentz in a project supervised by Professor Michael P. Collins.

A collection of Spreadsheet Solutions for Structural Engineering. The user-friendly applications have been developed by practicing professional engineers with emphasis on productivity, dependability, and clarity. To insure quality of the spreadsheets analysis results have comprehensively been compared to leading commercial software products and found to be accurate.

A Collection of Freeware Softwares from SEAOC (Structural Engineers Association of California).

ROBOT Millennium Freeware: it will provide a solution for the engineer to carry out much of their everyday analysis work. This powerful application will allow users to analyze: 2D and 3D multi material frame structures with up to 200 members, FE plates and shells - walls, floors and surfaces with up to 1500 nodes, Section libraries from around the world, Access to the ROBOT API to allow users to integrate their own applications, Bi-directional link to Revit® Structure, Linear analysis, English language support. 

DIANA: DIANA (DIsplacement ANAlyzer) is an extensive multi-purpose finite element software package that is dedicated, but not exclusive, to a wide range of problems arising in Civil engineering including structural, geotechnical, tunneling and earthquake disciplines and oil & gas engineering.

StrucPLUS: Powerful parametric tools for rapid preparation of Structural Steel and Concrete detail drawings.[SPONSOR LISTING]

Cross Section Analysis and Design: Arbitrary cross section analysis and reinforcement design under biaxial bending.

ZondST2D: ZondST2D software for seismic data processing and interpretation.

csJoint: Advanced connection design for steel structures. A great range of different joint types can be created easily applying several special connection elements, the design tools covers practically the whole joint standard Eurocode 3 Part 1-8.
