Structural Engineering Analysis and Design Platform

RKALC is a modular structural engineering analysis and design platform, combining standards-based member design, finite element modelling, system-level analysis, verification tools, and practice-support workflows.

RKALC supports reinforced concrete, steel and structural systems through a combination of transparent design calculators and advanced finite element modelling, suitable for Australian Standards.

RKALC is used for detailed or preliminary design, verification, education and engineering judgement development, with outputs intended to be reviewed, understood and documented by engineers.

What RKALC Provides

  • Standards-based structural analysis and design tools across multiple materials
  • Finite element analysis (FEA) tools for two- and three-dimensional structural systems
  • Reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, steel, masonry and timber design aligned with AS 3600, AS 4100, AS 3700 and AS 1720
  • Structural loading, wind and seismic action determination to AS 1170
  • Strut-and-tie and discontinuity region modelling for complex concrete elements
  • Tributary area, load take-down, pile group and foundation analysis tools
  • Engineering verification, independent checks and transparent calculation outputs
  • Detailing, constructability and sustainability-focused tools, including reinforcement layout and embodied carbon assessment

Who RKALC Is For

  • Structural engineers in consulting practice
  • Engineering graduates developing design judgement
  • University students studying structural design
  • Firms requiring fast AS-compliant design or conceptual checks

Built for Engineering Practice

While RKALC includes extensive support for Australian Standards, the platform is developed with general structural engineering principles and finite element theory applicable to international practice.

This makes RKALC suitable for engineers working across different jurisdictions, as well as for learning, comparison and independent verification.

Engineering-Focused Design

RKALC prioritises transparency and engineering logic over black-box results. Calculations are presented in a clear, step-by-step format so engineers can review assumptions, governing checks and limit states.

The platform is intended to support engineering judgement, not replace it.

Learn and Stay Updated

RKALC also provides technical explanations, worked examples and engineering discussions through video and professional networks.
