Sapphire EC3 for Android

11 things about Sapphire EC3

1. * Where the EC3 is vague or unclear, simplifying assumptions and interpretations are made with reference to the SCI, BS5950, and other authorities, to allow pragmatic completion of the design.

2. All calculations are presented so that the engineer can assess any assumptions and interpretations of the Standards and see why a member passes or fails the design, as well as facilitating cross-checking with other parties.

3. A library of European and British steel sections is included, and custom sizes can be specified.

4. * Hot-rolled and welded I/H, channels, tees, rectangular & circular hollow sections, equal & unequal angles.

5. General steelwork member design based upon Eurocode EN1993-1-1:2005 (EC3).

6. The app uses the standard iOS11+ document browser, making it easy to create, import, export, rename, copy, etc.

7. A library of steel grades is included, and custom properties can be specified.

8. * Force magnitudes are considered to act either favourably or unfavourably as appropriate for the context, on the side of conservatism.

9. * Torsion in open sections is considered by way of bi-moments in the flanges.

10. * For lateral-torsional buckling of asymmetrical cross-sections, Mcr is calculated with reference to BS5950.

11. The calculation sheet can be exported as PDF or printed via Airprint if available on your network.
