STATIX for students and lecturers.

For lecturers

• Use the courses in your modules: Reinforced Concrete Design 1, Steel Design 1, Loads 1, Foundations 1, Detailing 1, Steel Design 2, Timber and Masonry 1, RC Design 2, RC Design 1 (Eurocode), Steel Design 1 (Eurocode), Steel Design 2 (Eurocode) and RC Design 2 (Eurocode). Each lesson has short theory with clause numbers, a worked example by hand, the same problem in a STATIX calculator, exercises and a quiz.
• Use the calculators in class and in tutorials: students change one input and see what it does to the design, with every check and its clause.
• Your students apply for their own student licence on this page.
• A department licence for a whole class is available by arrangement: contact us at info@statix.engineering.

The courses

Reinforced Concrete Design 1 to SANS 10100-1: eight lessons, each with learning outcomes, short theory, a worked example, the same problem in STATIX, exercises and a quiz.

Steel Design 1 to SANS 10162-1: seven lessons, from tension members to connections and column base plates. See the course.

Loads 1 to SANS 10160: actions and combinations, permanent and imposed loads, wind and the load take-down: six lessons. See the course.

Foundations 1: soils and bearing, pad, strip and combined footings, rafts, piles, pile caps and retaining walls. All seven lessons are online. See the course.

Detailing 1 (SANS 282): reading drawings, shape codes and cutting lengths, laps and cover, beams, columns, slabs, footings and walls, and the bending schedule end to end. All six lessons are online. See the course.

Steel Design 2: one single-storey steel building from layout to the last joint: load paths and bracing, purlins and girts, cold-formed sections, rafters and columns, the eaves haunch, the apex and the base. All six lessons are online. See the course.

Timber and Masonry 1: timber beams and floors by EN 1995-1-1 or SANS 10163-1, masonry walls under vertical and wind load by SANS 10164, and lintels. All six lessons are online. See the course.

RC Design 2: after RC Design 1, flat slabs and punching, post-tensioned slabs, walls, corbels and nibs, staircases, crack width and deflection by calculation, and slabs on grade. All seven lessons are online. See the course.

RC Design 1 (Eurocode): for departments that teach to the Eurocodes, the eight lessons of RC Design 1 on EN 1992-1-1 with EN 1990 combinations, on the Eurocode 2 route of the calculators. All eight lessons are online. See the course.

Steel Design 1 (Eurocode): the seven lessons of Steel Design 1 on EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-8, on the Eurocode 3 route of the steel calculators. All seven lessons are online. See the course.

Steel Design 2 (Eurocode): one single-storey steel building to the Eurocodes, from loads and bracing to the eaves haunch, the apex and the base, on the Eurocode routes of the calculators. All five lessons are online. See the course.

RC Design 2 (Eurocode): the seven lessons of RC Design 2 on EN 1992-1-1 with EN 1990 combinations, on the Eurocode 2 route of the concrete calculators: flat slabs and punching, post-tensioned slabs, walls, corbels and nibs, staircases, crack width and deflection, and slabs on grade. All seven lessons are online. See the course.

Each lesson's theory is open to everyone. The worked examples, exercises and quiz open with a student licence, a university or college email, or a calculator pack.
