Download some exclusive excel sheets for structural engineering and analysis

Given below, a plethora of existing structural engineering spreadsheets useful for structural engineering design and analysis. These excel sheets are created following American structural codes (ACI, AISC, etc).

Application of excel in any engineering as well as professional sectors is very important. Knowing how to use Excel is very vital in any engineering industry as it is possible to make automated calculations and arrange big amounts of data as well as provide crucial analysis information with the help of conditional formatting and/or automated charts and graphs.

The use of Excel is mostly found in structural engineering. An average structure contains numerous structural members. With each member, there exist various checks which are essential for implementation; flexure, bending, torsion, axial, etc. Use excel to monitor things easily.

1. Shear Wall Design and Analysis (Adhered to ACI code):

a. The spreadsheet delivers automated shear wall design by applying a phiPn vs phiMn chart to specify if the design forces are located inside the capacity curve.
b. The spreadsheet arranges for a force and strain diagram to specify the crucial points of force and strain.c. The spreadsheet verifies the least reinforcement that the wall should contain, the lowest spacing of reinforcement, and the shear, flexural, and axial forces toward their respective capacities.

2. Concrete Column Design and Analysis (Adhered to ACI code):

a. This spreadsheet offers automated analysis with a phiPn vs phiMn chart. Basic principle are found here! (sturdystructural.com
b. Besides, it is possible to ascertain phiPn vs phiMn values under various conditions (eg. phiPn vs phiMn when no tension and phiPn vs phiMn exist when there is flexure only). Therefore, the designers can easily consider the behavior of structural member under various cases.

3. Footing check:

a. This spreadsheet allows you to enter your applied forces (eg. dead, live, and wind for uplift). After entering your applied forces, the spreadsheet automatically measures the forces for you (eg. axial, shear, and moment). This automated method facilitates you to modify your input applied forces to view the various axial, shear, and moment forces applied onto the footing. Hand calculations can be found here!

b. This spreadsheet also contains stability checks (eg. uplift).
c. This spreadsheet applies moment forces and contains the ability to estimate number of requirement and size of necessary reinforcement.

4. Wind check:

a. This spreadsheet measures corresponding wind pressures and coefficients at certain heights and creates a table detailing derivations of wind pressures in windward and leeward directions.
b. This spreadsheet also contains negative and positive roof pressures and overhang pressures.
