b1 = stiff bearing length.
n1 = length obtained by load dispersion
at
45 degs though half the section
depth.
n2 = length obtained by load dispersion
through the flange and root radius at
a
slope of 1:2.5.
c = overlap distance from end of beam
section to the stiff bearing.
(If end of beam section on stiff
bearing,
c = 0)

FOREWORD

This spreadsheet performs an analysis and design of simply supported and cantilever, steel beams bending ab
X-X axis and subjected to gravity loads. Beams can be either with full restraint or without full restraint.

Design is in accordance with BS 5950-1:1990. Bending moments, shear forces and deflections are computed a

section is automatically included in the calculations. The moment capacity of the section is calculated taking int
the corresponding shear force and a reduction is made as necessary. A check is made to see if a shear bucking
calculation is required and a warning is issued. This spreadsheet also contains a calculation sheet for checking
bearing and buckling.

The spreadsheet uses UK steel section properties which have been directly obtained from the Corus Construct
Manual, released on CD in February 2000. The values were imported into Microsoft Excel v8.0 from the html ta
contained on the Corus CD. No typing in of values has been carried out and therefore these tables should accu
reflect the tables as published by Corus.

ACCURACY

This spreadsheet calculates exact values of bending moment, shear force and deflections at 1/60th positions a
span of the beam. As the actual maximum moment may not occur at precisely one of these positions, a small e
value of the moment may occur.
In a simply supported beam, the shear force should be zero at the point of maximum moment. Where the critica
coincides with the maximum moment, a small value for shear force may be displayed. This occurs because of t
inaccuracy in determining the exact position of the maximum moment.
The above inaccuracies are no different than that displayed in software produced by the Steel Construction Inst
which employ similar methods of analysis and design.

However, these inaccuracies should be viewed in the correct perspective. The fact that the beam is checked an
