RCC Pedestal
Overview
The RCC Pedestal Design Tool is a highly advanced and fully automated engineering solution developed for the design of reinforced concrete pedestals and columns subjected to complex loading conditions. The software employs an intelligent optimization algorithm that identifies the most economical pedestal configuration by considering material costs for concrete, reinforcement steel, and formwork.
The software is intended for use in industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and oil & gas projects where reliable, efficient, and code-compliant pedestal design is essential.
Intelligent Cost Optimization
The software automatically evaluates multiple feasible pedestal configurations and identifies the most cost-effective design solution based on user-defined material rates.
The optimization process considers:
- Concrete quantities
- Reinforcement quantities
- Formwork quantities
- Pedestal geometry
- Structural safety requirements
- Practical detailing constraints
This approach substantially reduces manual design effort while ensuring economical and constructible pedestal designs.
Advanced Structural Design Checks
The software performs a comprehensive set of design verifications including:
- Compression with bending checks
- Tension with bending checks
- Biaxial bending interaction checks
- Shear checks
The design engine automatically evaluates critical loading combinations and ensures that all governing cases are considered during the design process.

Nitin Agarwal, RCC Design Engineer, India –
SHEETFORGE RCC Pedestal has been very helpful in quickly designing pedestals under compression, tension, bending, and shear. The automated calculations, reinforcement detailing, BOQ, BBS, and CAD drawings make the workflow very efficient.
Richard Evans, Structural Design Engineer, UK –
The application is well-suited for practical pedestal design, especially where multiple supports and many load combinations are involved. Automatic governing load combination selection and optimized pedestal sizing save considerable engineering time.
Faisal Khan, Structural Engineering Professional, Saudi Arabia –
We found SHEETFORGE RCC Pedestal to be a reliable and complete design tool. The STAAD/ETABS reaction import, global-to-local transformation, code-based checks, and drawing output make it much more powerful than manual spreadsheets.
Joseph Martin, Engineering Consultant, Canada –
After using SHEETFORGE RCC Pedestal, I felt that we should have adopted this application much earlier instead of creating our own pedestal design spreadsheet. It handles design checks, reinforcement detailing, BOQ, BBS, and CAD output in a much more streamlined way.
Harish Patel, Senior Structural Engineer, India –
SHEETFORGE RCC Pedestal proved to be far more efficient than the spreadsheet we were trying to build in-house. We only wished we had discovered it earlier, as it would have saved us significant engineering and development time.
