My name is Colton, I’m a Structural Engineer (SE) with JKAE in Reno, NV where we deal with major snow and seismic loads around the Lake Tahoe region.

I was invited here by Laurent while complaining about ACI 318-19’s new foundation shear equation. But, I’ll create a separate post for that.

ClearCalcs tackles load-linking in an exceptional way and that’s what sold me and our company to join. So, it’s tough coming up with a new module suggestion. I have not seen a steel-composite beam module yet though. That would greatly help my larger commercial and educational projects.

Anyways, happy to be here and looking forward to the growth.

Colton

Welcome to the community, @Colton.JKAE!

Love to hear about the impact of load linking to your company. I’ll make sure our team note your point here about the steel composite beam module 👈🏽 @lgerin @brooks.smith.
