Welcome to our online calculator for calculating posts made from various materials. Here, you can perform strength and stability calculations, including determining the flexibility of the post and the load it can bear. Our tool allows for the calculation of wooden posts, metal posts, and concrete posts with various parameters.

The calculator supports the following materials:

Wood (three strength classes)
Steel (ten strength classes)
Concrete (nine strength classes)

Eight cross-section types are available:

Circular cross-section
Pipe (including post pipe calculation)
I-beam
Channel section
Angle section
Rectangular cross-section
Square cross-section
Square profile pipe

To perform the post calculation online, you need to:

Enter the geometric dimensions of the cross-section as shown in the diagram.
Specify the length of the post and choose the type of calculation scheme.
Indicate the load applied to the post (if needed, you can use our online load calculation calculator).

After clicking the "Calculate" button, you will receive a result showing whether the post meets the strength and stability requirements. For more detailed information, click the "Details" button to view parameters such as the cross-sectional area, material design resistance, applied stresses, radii of gyration along the X and Y axes, flexibilities along the X and Y axes, calculated post length, and the buckling coefficient.

Our calculator allows you to calculate post bending, strength, and stability online, significantly simplifying the process of designing and analyzing structures made of wood, steel, or concrete. Whether you need to calculate a wooden post or a metal post, our tool will provide fast and accurate results.

Please note that our calculations are based on widely accepted international standards and methodologies, without reference to local regulations. This makes our calculator suitable for use in various regions and countries.

Recent updates:

Added flexibility check for posts.
Expanded capabilities for calculating paired and cross-shaped angles.
Added calculation for paired channel sections in box form and I-beams.
Improved local stability checks for walls and flanges in various cross-section types.
Optimized display of results and calculated parameters.

We are constantly working on improving the functionality of our calculator to ensure the most accurate and reliable results for your projects.
