Disclaimer: This tool provides estimates per IRC 2021 prescriptive provisions and NDS 2018 ASD for dimensional lumber studs. It includes checks for pure axial compression (NDS §3.7) and combined out-of-plane wind bending + axial compression (NDS §3.9). Bending calculations assume the compression edge is continuously supported by sheathing ($C_L=1.0$). Verification of lateral/shear forces, connections, and system deflection is required. Oasis Engineering LLC assumes no liability for use of this tool. Verify all designs with a licensed structural engineer.
