Welcome

Welcome to BK Structural, home of STAC  (Structural Analysis & Calculations)

STAC is a suite of stand alone structural calculations set out in the format of traditional hand calculations but with the benefit of spreadsheet programming.  The calculations have been developed to Australian Standards and include the programs noted below.  Most of the programs have been developed for use in bridge design, although they also encompass general civil/structural analysis.

Programs currently developed include those listed below.  Click on the links for sample pdf extracts from the calculations.

  • PS Girder – Prestressed Concrete girder design to AS5100.5
  • PS Partial – Partial Prestress assessment for girders
  • RC Beam – Reinforced concrete beam section design to AS3600 & AS5100.5
  • RC Column – Reinforced concrete column design (Circular and Rectangular) to AS3600 & AS5100.5
  • Bearing – Design of Elastomeric Bearings to AS5100.4
  • Flood – Analysis of Flood Forces on bridge structures to AS5100.2
  • Wind Building – Wind Pressure on Rectangular Clad Building to AS1170
  • Wind Panel – Wind Pressure on Wall/Sign Panel to AS1170
  • Pile Set – Driven Pile Capacity and Set calculations using Hiley formula
  • Pile Axial – Axial Load assessment for Piles
  • Pile Lateral – Lateral Load assessment and deflection for Piles
  • Pile Springs – Assessment of lateral spring supports for piles
