Shear connector design software

Design you composite beams with one software solution

Shear Connector Design software to easily perform composite beam designs according to AS/NZS 2327 and NZS 3404. Manage your design workflows from the detailed design phase to project documentation.

Ready for your unique designs

Whether you’re working on a new design with standard steel beams and profiled sheeting or a delicate rehabilitation project with existing steel profiles, Shear Connector Design can help you to efficiently design the best solution.

All you have to do is enter critical design input and restraints, define load combinations and position connectors. Then the final report will show you your calculation descriptions, designs and drawings to help installation on the job site.

With our Shear Connector Design, you can:

  • Increase your productivity. Forget makeshift spreadsheets or complicated structural design suites – now you can perform calculations in minutes, without sacrificing safety or precision.
  • Increase your profitability. Maximise your jobsite investment with a competitive, reliable, and approved alternative to time consuming welded studs.
  • Be confident that you’ll get Hilti expertise throughout the process. Installers are guided throughout the installation by the positioning indications in the report - and you’ll be able to focus on the next project. And in case of doubt, our Sales and Engineering resources are always here to assist you.  

Customize designs and precisely calculate:

  • Internal and edge beams in simply supported configuration, with customisable steel profile geometry and steel grade
  • Lightweight and standard concrete
  • Solid slab (with or without haunches) and slab with profiled sheeting
  • Distributed loads, line loads and point loads
  • Propped and unpropped conditions at the construction stage
  • Plastic design with full and partial degree of connection
  • Bending moment and shear resistance checks, including web and lateral torsional buckling verifications
