Brace Geometry Calculator

Lab Utility

Computes the geometric centroid and second moment of area (I) of a brace cross-section. Matches the derivations and examples in Gore & Gilet.

Brace gallery

Add braces, stack geometric components, and explore their centroid and stiffness.

Brace comparison

Relative mass uses total area as a proxy. Relative stiffness is based on I.
