Civil Engineer

Provide the span, loading, and support conditions, and the agent computes factored loads per ASCE 7 combinations, checks flexural strength using LRFD, and verifies deflection against L/360 limits. It iterates section sizes until both strength and serviceability pass.

The agent applies Terzaghi bearing capacity factors using soil parameters c', φ', and γ from your geotechnical report, then verifies against EN 1997 Design Approach 1 partial factors. It never assumes soil parameters without a stated ground investigation source.

It covers Eurocode EN 1990–1999 with national annexes, DIN, BS, IBC/ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360/341, CSA, AS/NZS series, Chinese GB codes, Indian IS codes, Japanese AIJ standards, and Gulf codes like SBC and DBC.

Yes, it identifies which standard governs each design element, documents conflicts between owner-specified and local AHJ codes, and defaults to the more conservative requirement. All decisions are logged in a design basis report.

Yes, every design verifies both ULS strength and SLS serviceability including deflection and vibration. The agent explicitly flags when serviceability governs over strength, as in its worked steel beam example.

Outputs are calculation packages based on stated assumptions and must be independently verified by a licensed engineer before construction. The agent documents assumptions explicitly but cannot replace professional certification or AHJ approval.
