CSiCol — Lifetime License

Import columns from ETABS along with their materials, sections, loads and framings.

Design and Analysis Capabilities

Design columns in accordance with user-specified codes.

Use any of the program-provided predefined parametric shapes, including a variety of solid, hollow, and flanged shapes, in addition to a large collection of standard steel shapes.

Import shapes from text files and .DXF Files

Results Generated

Plot multiple P-M or M-M curves in the same graph with varying values for either Compressive Strength of Concrete (fc’), Steel Tensile Strength (fy), or rebar sizes.

Generate a one-page report for all the columns in the Project File.

CSiCol — Lifetime License is a powerful structural engineering software designed for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel columns. Built with engineers in mind, it simplifies complex calculations while adhering to international design standards. The software combines intuitive modeling tools with advanced analytical capabilities, making it indispensable for structural design offices, consultants, and educational institutions.

Key Features

• Multi-Material Support
  Design and analyze columns made of reinforced concrete, structural steel, or composite materials.

• International Code Compliance
  Supports a wide range of global design codes (e.g., ACI, Eurocode, IS, BS, CSA), ensuring compliance with local regulations.

• Cross-Section Customization
  Define column cross-sections with any geometry—rectangular, circular, T-sections, L-sections, or fully irregular profiles.

• Interaction Diagrams
  Automatically generate axial load-bending moment (P-M) interaction diagrams for precise capacity checks.

• Graphical User Interface (GUI)
  Interactive, user-friendly environment for visualizing reinforcement layouts, load cases, and performance curves.

• Advanced Reinforcement Detailing
  Flexible reinforcement arrangements including symmetrical, asymmetrical, and custom layouts.

• Design Reports
  Generate professional, detailed design reports with all calculations, diagrams, and references to design codes.
