• Altiscad Intellishape - Altiscad Intellishape is a general purpose biaxial bending calculation software tool, developed to design and check any geometry cross section. The software allows to design and check the bearing capacity for any geometry cross section. The materials for the elements are concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, composite and also user input materials. The software permits the calculus of any type of cross section. Altiscad Intellishape is a standalone software which cooperates with Robot Structural Analysis (Robot Millennium) and also with Revit Structure. This allows the import of forces, materials and also the geometry of the element (column or structural wall).
• Aprop - Determines sectional properties by the "integration of area" method.
• BIAX 1 - Legacy software from 19992 to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (R/C) sections. Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley. BIAX-1: Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Sections Wallace, John W.; Moehle, Jack P. Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992, BIAX-1 is a general purpose computer program to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (R/C) sections. The program computes these characteristics based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after the application of loading. The program can be used to compute strength or moment-curvature relations for uniaxial or biaxial monotonic loading of reinforced concrete sections. Nonlinear material models are used for both the reinforcing steel and the concrete. The model for the stress-strain behavior of the reinforcing steel is versatile, allowing relations that closely approximate experimentally observed behavior.The program allows two stress-strain diagrams for concrete (unconfined and confined) and four relations for reinforcing steel. The R/C section is described as a combination of rectangular subsections; therefore the program allows easy generation of T, L, or barbell shaped sections. The program user specifies a mesh for each subsection. An iterative procedure (simple bisection algorithm) is used to obtain a solution for the prescribed problem.

Enables to find sections based on specific criteria and browse for all sections, view equivalent sections between English/SI systems.
• Section - Computation of cross-sectional parameters for arbitrary cross-sections: location of the center of gravity, length of the perimeter, moment of inertia and radii of gyration, section moduli, ellipse of inertia, torsion constant.
• Section Builder - Generation of steel, concrete and composite cross sections.
• SectionCalc - SectionCalc enables to quickly calculate the following 14 sectional properties from graphical input: area, centroid location, perimeter, moments of inertia (Ixx and Iyy), product of inertia, polar moments of inertia, distance of neutral axis from extremes (Cx and Cy), radius of gyration (kx and ky), section modulii (Sx and Sy). Using DXF format, SectionCalc can also import cross sections created in many popular CAD applications.
• Sector - Calculates cross-sectional properties of thin-wall steel cross-sections: location of the center of gravity, cross-section area, moments of inertia and radii of gyration, ellipse of inertia, torsion constant, location of the shear center, sectorial ordinates, static sectorial moment, sectorial moment of inertia.
• ShapeBuilder - Calculates geometric section properties.

Calculates area, moment of inertia, elastic moduli, section centroid, torsion constant, principal properties and rotation of sections. Allows for voids, openings and embedded sections. Shapes and sections can be rotated through 360 degrees. Advanced edition of Sigma-X Section calculates equivalent material properties, properties of reinforced concrete in sagging and hogging, heutral axis position, compression only materials (concrete).
• Standard Steel Profiles - Standard Steel Profile is a free online application designed to present you all the data you need on standard steel profiles: geometry, mechanical and physical properties and resistance, based on element length and support conditions.
• Steel for iPhone and iPod Touch - Steel for iPhone & iPod Touch is an application for Civil and Structural Engineers, Architects and Drafters. It Provides access to the American Institute of Steel Construction 13.0 and 13.0H steel shapes database. The application contains the steel shapes appearing in the following American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) libraries: (1) Current Version 13 (in English and metric units); (2) LRFD 1st to 3rd Ed. (including LRFD 2nd Ed. SI - International Units); (3) ASD 6th to 9th Ed.; and HISTORIC. Steel for iPhone allows sorting of the sections within a library given a specific property. It also lets you find a section with a quick search function, where, for example, "W16 x 89", "W16x89" or simply "W1689" will locate the same section or its closest approximation.
