Cleat Compression Member AISC 360 Calculation
Engineering Spreadsheet — Instant Download
What This Spreadsheet Does
Designs steel cleat plates acting as compression members per AISC 360 — pipe rack braces, equipment skid braces, and structural detail cleats carrying compression in steel frameworks.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — cleat thickness, width, length, end fixity, applied compression load, steel grade
- Slenderness ratio check per AISC 360 Chapter E
- Compression capacity — elastic and inelastic buckling per AISC 360-E3
- Connection check — bolt or weld capacity at cleat ends
- Utilization ratio with pass/fail flag
Who This Is For
- Structural steel design engineers
- Pipe rack and equipment skid designers
- EPC structural teams in Oil & Gas, power, process industries
- Steel detailers and connection designers
Codes & Standards Referenced

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it handle tension too?
No — focused on compression. For tension, see our AISC bolting and bolt sizing sheets.
Bolt or weld connections?
Both — toggle between bolted and welded end connections.
