Steel Structure Calculators
Size and estimate steel structures with calculators for beams, columns, trusses, and light-gauge steel framing. Look up section weights from the IS catalogs, estimate welding rod and bolt quantities, and price out a steel-framed house.
These tools suit engineers, fabricators, and self-builders comparing steel against RCC or panel construction for a project in Nepal.
Steel House Cost Calculator (Light-Gauge Steel)
Estimate light-gauge steel house construction cost from built-up area, number of floors, and quality tier with stage-wise breakdown in NPR/INR/PKR.
Steel Section Weight Calculator (IS 808/1161/4923)
Calculate unit weight (kg/m) and total steel weight for any IS 808 ISMB/ISMC/ISA, IS 4923 SHS/RHS, or IS 1161 pipe section by name and length.
Steel Beam Sizing Calculator (ISMB Catalog)
Find the smallest ISMB I-beam section satisfying span, load, deflection, and grade constraints. Bending and deflection checks per IS 800.
Steel Column Sizing Calculator (Buckling Check)
Find the smallest steel section satisfying Euler buckling and yield checks for a column under axial load with given end conditions and grade.
LGS Quantity Estimator (Light-Gauge Steel)
Estimate purlin, stud, joist, and bracing quantities for a light-gauge steel (LGS) frame house from floor plan area and number of floors.
Steel Truss Calculator (Pratt/Howe/Fink/KingPost)
Estimate member lengths and total steel weight for common roof truss types (Pratt, Howe, Fink, KingPost) from span, pitch, and load.
Welding Rod & Bolt Estimator (Steel Connections)
Estimate welding electrode count, electrode weight, and bolt weight for steel structural connections from weld length, weld size, and bolt details.
