Welcome to the NRCS National Design, Construction, and Soil Mechanics Center (NDCSMC) web site.  The NDCSMC provides NRCS with interdisciplinary technical support for design, construction, operation, and rehabilitation of complex engineering projects essential to resource conservation, environmental enhancement, and agricultural productivity.

NRCS Structural Design Software Now Available through Web Access NRCS developed and published a series of software in the 1970’s that provided quick designs of several common, reinforced concrete, water resource structures. This software suite, published as TR42, TR45, TR50, TR54, and TR63, generated structural designs for single cell conduits, twin cell conduits, rectangular channels, SAF basins, and drop spillways respectively.
