The sizing tool uses span-to-depth ratios derived from EN 1992-1-1, EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1995-1-1. For preliminary estimates:

• Concrete Slabs: Based on $L/d$ ratios (typically 24-28) to control serviceability without detailed reinforcement design.
• Concrete Beams: Based on $L/d$ ratios (typically 24-28) to control serviceability without detailed reinforcement design.
• Steel Beams: Sized for a bending moment capacity $M_{c,Rd} \ge M_{Ed}$ and a deflection limit of $L/250$.
• Timber Beams: Sized for a bending moment capacity $M_{c,Rd} \ge M_{Ed}$ and a deflection limit of $L/250$.

Note: These are for preliminary sizing only and do not account for complex lateral stability or connection stiffness.

Our platform uses industry-standard "Cradle-to-Gate" (A1-A3) values:

• Steel: 1.55 kgCO₂e/kg (Average European Blast Furnace / Electric Arc mix).
• Concrete (C30/37): 0.15 kgCO₂e/kg (Including standard CEM-I mix).
• Timber (Glulam): 0.45 kgCO₂e/kg (Excluding sequestration benefits).

Pro users can customize these factors within the Project Settings to match specific manufacturer EPDs.

Yes. While we provide a standard database of building materials based on ISO 10456, you can manually override the Thermal Conductivity (λ) value for any layer.

If you are using a specific manufacturer product (e.g., a high-performance PIR board), simply select the closest material and edit the λ-field to match the product's technical datasheet.

StrucTalogue uses a context-aware saving system. Once you select a project from your Dashboard, it becomes the "Active Project" (visible in your sidebar).

Any calculation you perform can be saved directly to that project's cloud record. This allow you to build a full structural catalogue for a single building without managing multiple loose files.

The results are based on Preliminary Sizing Rules from Eurocode 2 & 3. They are designed for the "Scheme Design" phase to help architects and developers understand spatial requirements and cost/carbon implications.

However, these results do not constitute a final design. They do not account for site-specific wind loads, seismic requirements, or detailed connection design. A qualified engineer must perform a full analysis before construction.

StrucTalogue Pro unlocks advanced engineering features:

• Exporting of Reports: Exporting of detailed PDF reports.
• Advanced Calculations: Access to advanced EC calculations.
• Saving to the Cloud: Calculations can be saved to projects and accessed from anywhere using any device.
