Weld Strength API
Weld design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The fillet endpoint sizes an equal-leg fillet weld: from the leg size, the weld length and an allowable shear stress it returns the effective throat (leg ÷ √2), the effective area, the load capacity and the strength per millimetre of weld; give a design force instead of a leg and it returns the required throat and leg size, and if you also pass a provided leg it reports the utilization and whether the weld is adequate. The butt endpoint handles a full-penetration butt (groove) weld, where the effective throat equals the plate thickness, returning the area and capacity. The throat endpoint converts between leg and throat — equal-leg (throat = leg ÷ √2), unequal legs (throat = a·b ÷ √(a²+b²)) and throat back to leg. Lengths are in millimetres, stress in megapascals and force in newtons. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. An estimating aid, not a code-stamped design — use the allowable stress and electrode from your governing code (AISC, Eurocode). Ideal for structural and fabrication tools, weld-design and estimating apps, maker and metalwork projects, and engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is weld strength sizing; for bolt tightening torque use a torque API and for the weight of the steel use a metal-weight API.

Riveted Joint API
Riveted-joint strength maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the shear, bearing and rivet-count numbers a structural, sheet-metal or aircraft fitter checks a riveted connection by. The shear-capacity endpoint gives the load a rivet group carries across its shanks = the rivet area (π/4·d²) × the shear strength × the number of rivets × the shear planes — a rivet in single shear is cut on one plane, in double shear (the centre plate of a butt joint with cover plates) on two, so it carries twice. The bearing-capacity endpoint gives the load the rivets can press against the sides of their holes before the plate crushes = the projected contact area (diameter × plate thickness) × the bearing strength × the number of rivets; thin plates fail in bearing long before the rivet shears, which is exactly why both must be checked — the joint strength is the lesser of the two. The rivets-required endpoint inverts it: the rivets a design load needs = the load ÷ the allowable load per rivet (area × allowable shear × planes), rounded up to a whole rivet, using the working shear (strength ÷ safety factor) not the raw value. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and sheet-metal estimating, mechanical-design and fastener tools, and engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Shank-shear and bearing only — also confirm edge tear-out and minimum pitch. 3 compute endpoints. For bolt preload and torque use a bolt-torque API; for thread geometry a thread API; for welded joints a welding API.

Rebar Calculator API
Reinforcement-steel (rebar) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The area endpoint computes the cross-sectional area of a reinforcing bar, a = π/4·d², its mass per metre (a·7850/1e6, steel ρ = 7850 kg/m³), the total area and mass for a number of bars, and — given a required steel area — the number of bars needed and the area provided. The spacing endpoint lays out bars across a section: from the width, the cover, the bar diameter and either a centre-to-centre spacing or a bar count it returns the other, n = floor((width − 2·cover − d)/spacing) + 1, the total steel area and the area per metre of width. The ratio endpoint computes the reinforcement ratio ρ = As/(b·d) of a section from the steel area (or the bars) and the section width and effective depth, as a fraction and a percentage, the single number that governs whether a beam is under- or over-reinforced. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and site-engineering tools, reinforced-concrete detailing, bar-bending schedules and steel take-off, and civil-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rebar geometry and quantities; for concrete mix proportions use a concrete API.

Wind Load API
Structural wind-load maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The pressure endpoint computes the velocity (dynamic) pressure of wind, q = ½·ρ·v², from the wind speed and air density — the pressure the wind exerts when it is brought to rest against a surface — and also solves the wind speed back from a given pressure, reporting the speed in m/s, km/h and mph. The force endpoint computes the wind force on a surface, F = q·Cf·A, from the velocity pressure (or wind speed), the exposed area and a force coefficient (≈1.3 for a building wall, ≈1.2 for a flat plate), and — given a height — the overturning moment about the base. The beaufort endpoint converts between a wind speed and the Beaufort scale using v = 0.836·B^1.5, returning the Beaufort number, the standard description from calm to hurricane force and the corresponding pressure. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and façade-engineering tools, signage, solar-array, scaffold and temporary-structure wind checks, sailing and meteorology apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is structural wind pressure and force; for wind-turbine energy output use a wind-power API.

Column Buckling API
Euler column buckling as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The critical-load endpoint computes the Euler critical (buckling) load of a slender column, Pcr = π²·E·I / (K·L)², from the Young's modulus, the second moment of area, the length and the end conditions — pinned-pinned (K=1), fixed-fixed (K=0.5), fixed-pinned (K≈0.7) or fixed-free / cantilever (K=2), or a custom effective-length factor — and, given the cross-section area, also the radius of gyration, slenderness ratio and critical buckling stress. The section endpoint returns the area, the second moment of area about both axes and the radius of gyration for a solid circle, a hollow circle or tube, or a rectangle, and highlights the weak-axis value that governs buckling. The slenderness endpoint computes the slenderness ratio λ = K·L/r and, given the modulus and yield strength, the transition slenderness λ1 = π·√(2E/σy) that separates long Euler columns from short and intermediate ones, classifies the column and returns both the Euler and the J.B. Johnson critical stresses. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural, mechanical and aerospace engineering tools, strut and frame design, machine-design and stability-analysis apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is column buckling and stability; for beam bending, shear and deflection use a beam-statics API.
