RKALC: The Intelligent Platform for Structural Engineers
RKALC is a next-generation structural engineering platform designed to empower engineers with fast, reliable,
and standards-compliant design and analysis tools. Built by engineers, for engineers, RKALC combines domain
expertise with AI-assisted workflows to streamline structural calculations and decision-making—without compromising
accuracy or control.
RKALC isn’t just a set of calculators—it’s a connected ecosystem of over 30 specialised web applications,
covering everything from reinforced concrete and steel design to frame analysis, wind loading, strut-and-tie
modelling, sustainability metrics, and more. All tools are purpose-built to support engineering workflows aligned
with Australian Standards, and often cross-reference Eurocode and ACI guidelines.
What sets RKALC apart is the RKALC Assistant, your smart companion embedded across the platform.
It understands engineering context, responds conversationally, and helps guide users through calculations—whether
you’re designing a PT beam, checking punching shear, or switching to wind load analysis. The assistant isn’t just
informative; it’s aware, capable of redirecting you to the correct tool based on your design intent.
Whether you're a senior engineer verifying a concept or a graduate learning the ropes, RKALC offers:
- 📐 FEAKalc: Finite element analysis of frames and trusses
- 🔧 PTKalc: Continuous beam and post-tensioned design
- 🧱 MasonryKalc: Masonry wall design to AS3700
- 🌬️ Wind & EQ Load Tools: Dynamic and static lateral force checks
- 🧰 Steel & RC Libraries: Fast checks and section property access
- 🌿 GreenKALC: Carbon emissions estimates (A1–A3 lifecycle stages)
- ⚙️ STM Tools: Strut-and-tie design for walls, corbels, and pile caps
- 📊 TribKalc & PileGroupKalc: Load path and reaction tools
RKALC is your engineering mate—the one who handles the calculations while you focus on the big picture.
Think of it as the digital evolution of the Reynolds Handbook, made interactive, intelligent, and built for the
demands of modern engineering practice.
RKALC: Engineering smarter, faster, and with confidence.
