Sapncalc (2002)-Does anyone have a copy of it?

Jefferson — Thu, 20 May 2004 22:33:36 GMT

Greetings-

I have been trying to download a copy of Spancalc 2002, a free timber span calculation tool but the .FTP sites are all unaccessible, or just flat gone. I just want to use this as a reference tool, nothing more really, not enough to purchase a program. I was hoping someone out there has a copy they could email me ....................please. Unless there's something better out there?

T.I.A.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the reply. I was actually looking for a non-engineered span calculator though. Some more "googleing" gave these results:

http://www.wwpa.org/techguide/suite.htm a downloadable excel based program and the online Span Calc, which is definitely a limited tool.

As well Truss Joist suplies these:

you could then try the online calculator from the Candaian Wood Council --- which is only for U.S. spans (not applicable to Canada)
this gives joists , rafters and headers
