CSi Column 8.4

CSi Column by Rad, Inc. is a dedicated structural engineering application for analyzing, designing, and optimizing concrete, steel, and composite columns. Built for speed and clarity, it streamlines the full workflow—from preliminary sizing to final design checks—so engineers can deliver safe, economical, and well-documented solutions.

Key capabilities:

• Comprehensive analysis: Evaluate axial load, uniaxial and biaxial bending, shear, slenderness, and second-order effects to capture real-world behavior.
• Versatile section modeling: Define rectangular, circular, polygonal, T, and L-shaped sections with customizable reinforcement layouts and material properties.
• Design automation: Generate interaction diagrams, run code-based checks, and use demand/capacity ratios and color-coded results to quickly identify governing cases.
• Optimization tools: Automatically explore bar sizes, reinforcement patterns, and column dimensions to meet performance targets and reduce material usage.
• Batch processing: Design multiple columns at once to accelerate repetitive tasks across a project.
• Clear reporting: Produce traceable calculation summaries, detailed sketches, and professional reports, with export options to common formats for coordination and review.
• Seamless workflow: Import loads and geometry from spreadsheets or other sources, and integrate results into CAD/BIM documentation with minimal rework.
• Engineer-friendly interface: Intuitive controls, unit management, and customizable templates help teams standardize best practices.

CSi Column is ideal for building design, retrofits, and education—anywhere reliable column design, transparency, and efficiency matter.
