πŸš€ New Feature: Concrete Walls AU per AS 3600:2018

We’re excited to introduce our new Australian Concrete Wall Calculator in ClearCalcs! :tada: This powerful tool helps you design reinforced concrete walls by checking axial, in-plane shear, and moment loads in compliance with Australian standards.

:mag: Key Features & Capabilities

:white_check_mark: Supports Axial, and in-plane Shear & Moment Loads

:white_check_mark: Automatic Design Method Selection – The calculator automatically checks whether the wall can be designed using the Simplified Method, the Column Design Method (Section 10), or whether other approaches may be required.

:white_check_mark: Customisable Reinforcement – Define horizontal and vertical bar sizes, spacing, or use reinforcement meshes, and the tool will check compliance with reinforcement requirements.

:white_check_mark: Shear Strength Verification – The calculator verifies shear strength per Clause 11.6

:white_check_mark: Column Design Support – If a wall does not qualify for the Simplified Method, the calculator automatically switches to column design per Section 10 for appropriate cases.

:warning: Current Limitation: Strut-and-Tie Method (Section 12) and out-of-plane loading not yet supported, but we’d love your feedback to improve future versions!

:loudspeaker: Try It Out & Share Your Feedback!

This is the first version of our Concrete Wall Calculator, and we want to hear from you! If you have any suggestions, requests, or feedback, let us know - we’re always looking to improve.
