What is included in a structural calculation report?
A structural calculation report shows the loads on the structure, the design checks for each element such as beams, columns, slabs, foundations and connections, the codes used, and the engineer's stamp. It is submitted with the drawings for approval.
The short answer
Authorities and developers review the calculation report to confirm the works are safe. A complete report states the design basis and codes, lists the loads (dead, live, wind and any equipment), checks every structural element and connection against those loads, and ends with the results and the stamp of the consultant.
What you need to know
- Design basis: The codes, materials and assumptions used.
- Loads: Every load the structure must carry.
- Element checks: Strength and deflection for each member.
- Drawings: The report matches the submitted drawings.
Documents you will need
- Existing drawings or as-built plans
- Photos of the area
- Details of the proposed works
- Equipment weights, if any
