Structural Calculation QA Agent

OperationsStructural Engineering Calculation QA

Independently verifies structural engineering calculations against code provisions and load assumptions, catching arithmetic and methodology errors before design sign-off.

The Problem

Structural engineering calculations for beams, columns, foundations, and connections are typically checked by a second engineer manually re-deriving results, a slow process prone to the same blind spots as the original author

Errors in load combinations, unit conversions, or code edition references can slip through and are only caught late, or not at all, risking safety and liability exposure

Firms need a consistent, repeatable QA pass that scales across dozens of concurrent projects without adding headcount

This agent parses calculation packages, independently recomputes key results using the applicable design code, and flags discrepancies, unconservative assumptions, or missing load cases for the engineer of record to resolve

How it works

The agent ingests structural calculation files (spreadsheets, calc software exports, or PDF packages) along with the governing design code and project load criteria. It parses input parameters, reproduces the calculation logic independently, and compares results against the submitted values within defined tolerance bands. Discrepancies, code reference mismatches, and missing governing load combinations are compiled into a QA memo routed to the engineer of record for resolution before the package is stamped.

Process steps
1

Parse Calculation Package

  • Extract input parameters, loads, and material properties
  • Identify referenced code edition and load combinations
  • Map calculation type to verification method
Outcome: A structured, checkable representation of the calculation package is produced.
2

Independent Recomputation

  • Recompute demand and capacity using governing code equations
  • Cross-check unit consistency and load factors
  • Validate against alternate load combinations
Outcome: An independent result set exists to compare against the original submission.
3

Flag Discrepancies

  • Compare results within engineering tolerance
  • Highlight unconservative or missing load cases
  • Rank findings by structural risk severity
Outcome: A prioritized list of QA findings is ready for engineer review.
4

Compile QA Memo

  • Document findings with code references
  • Attach recomputation traces for transparency
  • Route to engineer of record for disposition
Outcome: The engineer of record receives an auditable QA record before stamping.
