Ideal banking angle for a design speed

Banked Curve API
Banked-curve and circular-motion dynamics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The speed endpoint takes the radius of a curve and its banking (bank) angle and returns the frictionless ideal (design) speed at which the banking alone supplies the centripetal force, v = √(r·g·tanθ); give a coefficient of friction as well and it also returns the maximum safe speed before the vehicle slides outward up the bank, v = √(r·g·(tanθ+μ)/(1−μ·tanθ)), and the minimum speed before it slides inward down the bank — every speed in metres per second, km/h, mph and knots, plus the centripetal acceleration. The bank-angle endpoint inverts this: from a design speed and radius it returns the ideal banking angle θ = atan(v²/(r·g)) and the equivalent superelevation as a ratio and a percentage, the cant a road or railway needs so no side friction is used at that speed. The flat-curve endpoint handles an unbanked curve from the coefficient of friction: the maximum cornering speed v = √(μ·r·g) for a given radius and the minimum radius v²/(μ·g) for a given speed. Gravity defaults to standard 9.80665 m/s² and can be overridden. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for road and racetrack design tools, vehicle-dynamics and driving-simulator apps, civil and transportation engineering, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is curve banking and cornering dynamics; for projectile and SUVAT kinematics use a physics API.

Circular Motion API
Uniform circular-motion physics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The centripetal-force endpoint computes the centripetal acceleration a = v²/r = ω²·r — always pointing toward the centre — and the centripetal force F = m·a that holds a body on its circular path, from the mass, the radius and either the linear or the angular velocity, and reports the equivalent g-force. The angular endpoint converts between every way of describing rotation — angular velocity (rad/s), revolutions per minute, frequency, period and, given a radius, the linear (tangential) velocity — using ω = 2π·f = 2π/T = v/r. The centrifuge endpoint computes the relative centrifugal force (RCF, in g) of a centrifuge rotor from its speed in rpm and radius, RCF = ω²·r / g, or inverts it to give the rpm needed to reach a target RCF. Masses are in kg, radii in m (mm for the centrifuge), velocities in m/s, angular velocities in rad/s and forces in N. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for physics-education, mechanical, automotive, lab-centrifuge and amusement-ride app developers, rotational-motion and g-force tools, and STEM teaching. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is uniform circular motion; for gravitational orbits use a gravitation API, for a vehicle on a banked curve a banked-curve API and for pendulum oscillation a pendulum API.

Soil Bearing Capacity API
Geotechnical foundation maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The factors endpoint computes the Terzaghi/Vesic bearing-capacity factors Nc, Nq and Nγ from a soil friction angle — Nq = e^(π·tanφ)·tan²(45+φ/2), Nc = (Nq−1)·cotφ and Nγ = 2(Nq+1)·tanφ. The bearing-capacity endpoint computes the ultimate, net and allowable bearing capacity of a strip, square or circular footing from the cohesion, friction angle, soil unit weight, footing width and founding depth, qu = sc·c·Nc + γ·D·Nq + sγ·γ·B·Nγ, breaking it into its cohesion, surcharge and self-weight components and dividing by a factor of safety (default 3) for the allowable value. The settlement endpoint computes the immediate elastic settlement of a footing, s = q·B·(1−ν²)·I / E, from the applied pressure, the footing width, the soil elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio. Cohesion and pressures are in kilopascals, unit weight in kN/m³ and lengths in metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for civil-engineering, geotechnical, foundation-design and construction app developers, footing-sizing and feasibility tools, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is foundation bearing capacity; for lateral earth pressure on walls use an earth-pressure API and for open-channel flow a Manning API.

Rebar Calculator API
Reinforcement-steel (rebar) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The area endpoint computes the cross-sectional area of a reinforcing bar, a = π/4·d², its mass per metre (a·7850/1e6, steel ρ = 7850 kg/m³), the total area and mass for a number of bars, and — given a required steel area — the number of bars needed and the area provided. The spacing endpoint lays out bars across a section: from the width, the cover, the bar diameter and either a centre-to-centre spacing or a bar count it returns the other, n = floor((width − 2·cover − d)/spacing) + 1, the total steel area and the area per metre of width. The ratio endpoint computes the reinforcement ratio ρ = As/(b·d) of a section from the steel area (or the bars) and the section width and effective depth, as a fraction and a percentage, the single number that governs whether a beam is under- or over-reinforced. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and site-engineering tools, reinforced-concrete detailing, bar-bending schedules and steel take-off, and civil-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rebar geometry and quantities; for concrete mix proportions use a concrete API.

Concrete Mix API
Concrete mix-design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The mix endpoint breaks down a volume of concrete into its materials from a nominal mix ratio (cement:sand:aggregate, for example 1:2:4): it applies the 1.54 dry-volume allowance, then returns the cement in cubic metres, kilograms and 50 kg bags, the sand and aggregate volumes and masses, and the water from the water-cement ratio — the complete batch for the pour. The quantity endpoint computes the concrete volume of a slab, footing, or round or square column from its dimensions, adds a wastage allowance and gives the dry material volume. The watercement endpoint solves the water-cement ratio, the water or the cement from the other two — the single most important number for concrete strength and durability. Densities used are cement 1440, sand 1600 and aggregate 1450 kg/m³, with a 50 kg cement bag. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, estimating and site-engineering tools, material take-off and ordering, DIY and builder apps, and civil-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is nominal volume-batch concrete estimating; for retaining-wall earth pressure use an earth-pressure API.
