Does anyone know of a tool for home use, especially for concrete or masonry?
For wood and steel, I’m familiar with this Eurocode tool. I would like to compare whether, for example, a 12x12cm (5x5 inch) concrete post with reinforcement has the same load-bearing capacity as a corresponding 12x12cm (5x5 inch) wooden post.

I meant in terms of comparability, whether I could use a 12cm x 12cm (5in x 5in) concrete post instead of a 12cm x 12cm (5in x 5in) wooden post for the carport roof. Or alternatively, build corresponding columns with formwork blocks for the roof beams to rest on. By asking that question, you disqualify yourself from handling such a project. Leave the planning to a professional.

The specification with the 12 cm (5 inches) wooden post comes from a carport kit designed for our snow load zone, but I can't use it because the dimensions are not optimal. And I don’t want to modify or patch up the kit.
That’s why I wanted to basically recreate the structure based on this, only with slightly adjusted measurements. Then changing the material is not a good idea.
What do you mean by slightly adjusted?
