What Is CSi Col?
Think about designing reinforced concrete columns with ease, backed by robust code compliance and clarity. That’s precisely what
CSi Col delivers. Sophisticated engineering at your fingertips, transforming complex calculations into smart, actionable design.
What Makes CSiCol Stand Out in Structural Design
CSi Col is a comprehensive tool tailored for analysing and designing columns, whether made of simple concrete, reinforced concrete or composite materials. Built to guide engineers from start to finish, it simplifies the whole process. It even features a convenient Quick Design Wizard that supports step-by-step decision-making, ensuring speed without sacrificing accuracy.
High Powered Analysis with Global Code Compatibility
Whether your project adheres to ACI, Eurocode, BS, or IS standards, CSiCol has you covered. It supports codes such as:
-
ACI-318 (multiple editions)
-
Eurocode 2-2004
-
BS 8110, CSA A-23.3, IS 456-2000
It handles both sway and non-sway scenarios, accounts for slenderness through effective length calculations and automates load combination evaluations to ensure reliable safety margins.
Powerful Modeling and Design Capabilities
With
CSi Col Concrete (also stylized as CSI Col), you gain access to advanced modelling features:
-
Build intricate cross-sections using predefined parametric shapes or custom profiles
-
Integrate composite shapes via an extensive steel database
-
Position reinforcement bars precisely be it perimeter, corner, circular or custom layout
-
Push the limits of design with dynamic sections featuring holes, cutouts and unconventional geometry
Insightful Output with Customizable Reporting
CSiCol computes results and visualizes them. You can generate:
-
Interaction diagrams: load-moment, moment-moment, moment-curvature plots
-
Elastic and cracked stress contours in 2D/3D
-
Reinforcement and neutral-axis mapping
-
Intuitive reports, customized with graphics and data tailored to your needs
