Enhanced Beam and Post Structural Calculator

Disclaimer: This calculator provides preliminary estimates based on simplified assumptions and typical data. Allowable capacities are illustrative and vary significantly based on material grade, species, duration of load, moisture content, buckling, and local codes. Results MUST be verified by a qualified structural engineer before construction. Do not use for final design.
