Does ClearCalcs Overestimate Design Strengths? 🔍

[David]

Overkilling in ClearCalcs: ClearCalcs doesn’t include a default overkill percentage. Instead, our calculations adhere strictly to the relevant codes and standards. This means the results are based on the precise requirements specified in those standards, without adding extra conservatism beyond what’s required.

So, you can trust that the calculations are accurate and code-compliant.
