Timber Engineering Calculator

About this app

Timber Engineering Calculator — 55 calculators for timber and wood-works design. Available in Metric (SI) and Imperial (USCS) units. NEW — Wood Species Reference & Auto-Fill: • Built-in species library (NDS 2018): Douglas Fir-Larch, Southern Pine, Hem-Fir, Spruce-Pine-Fir — Select Structural, No.1, No.2 • View Fb, Ft, Fv, Fc⊥, Fc, E and G in SI (MPa) and USCS (psi) • One-tap auto-fill of design values into calculators — faster, fewer errors • Auto-fillable fields marked with a tree icon Save calculations to History, add notes, export PDF reports. Formula shown on top; Calculate activates when all inputs are entered.
