<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Design a Steel Beam (ASD) to AISC 360-22" icon="pencil" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelBeamASDAISC360-22">
    Design hot-rolled steel beams to AISC 360-22 (ASD) with multiple spans and service-level loads. Checks bending, shear and three deflection limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Beam (LRFD) to AISC 360-22" icon="calculator" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelBeamAISC360-22">
    Design and analyze steel beams to AISC 360-22 (LRFD) with multiple supports and loads. Presets for floor and roof beams cut repetitive data entry.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Beam with Torsion (ASD) to AISC 360-22" icon="book" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelBeamTorsionASDAISC360-22">
    Design closed-section steel beams under torsion to AISC 360-22 (ASD), checking combined bending, shear and torsion per Chapter H.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Member (Design Only - ASD) to AISC 360-22" icon="calculator" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelMemberASDAISC360-22">
    Design steel members to AISC 360-22 (ASD). Input analysis forces to check combined axial, bending, and shear interaction for US hot-rolled sections.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Member (Design Only - LRFD) to AISC 360-22" icon="calculator" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelMemberAISC360-22">
    Design steel members to AISC 360-22 (LRFD). Input analysis forces to check combined axial, bending, and shear for US hot-rolled and HSS sections.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Composite Beam (LRFD) to AISC 360-22" icon="calculator" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelCompositeBeamLRFDAISC360-22">
    Design steel beams acting compositely with a concrete deck, through the pre-composite and composite stages, to AISC 360-22 (LRFD).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Steel Joist (ASD)" icon="map" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/steelJoistsASD">
    Check open-web steel joist designations (K, LH, DLH and KCS series) against SJI 100-2020 Load Tables under ASD load combinations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Design a Cold-Formed Steel Beam to AISI S100-16/CSA S136-16" icon="pencil" href="/docs/calculators/us/beams/cfsSteelBeamAISI">
    Design cold-formed steel beams to AISI S100-16(2020) w/S2-20 with the Direct Strength Method. Checks flexure, shear, web crippling and deflection.
  </Card>
