Welcome to the website steelchecks.com, a website fully involved in steel structures and steel connections (steel joints) structural design and checks. Thousands tons of steel have been designed using our software programs, namely Sargon (member design) and CSE (connection design).

Steelchecks.com is the English version of the wider Italian website castaliaweb.com, the website of the company Castalia srl.

The first complete English version of this website has been released in January 2012 and is going to be gradually improved and extended.

In this website you will find info about software programs dealing with steel structures, from the structural engineer point of view: finite element programs, code checking, steel member and steel connections (steel joints) design and checks, stress analysis, and so on.

An extensive work has been done in the validation area: for instance you can freely download 100 test schedules dealing with EN 1993-1-1 (Eurocode 3 (Method 1 and Method 2) ), a unique work in available technical literature.

Castalia srl software production is quite wide, embracing fields ranging from 2D to 3D, wireframe to solid, static to dynamic, linear and non linear, and more. This website offers an overall view of a subset of the available software, those which have been, or are in for being, translated into English language for the international market.

Together with the software development, writing of papers and books has got an increasing importance in Castalia's activity. Several publications are available in Italian language, some of them have been translated into English.
