STEEL BEAM FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL
This spreadsheet performs an analysis and design of simply supported and
cantilever, steel beams bending about their 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 at 1/60th positions along the span and the maximums
of these values are used for the design. This spreadsheet also contains a
calculation sheet for checking local web bearing and buckling. The spreadsheet
uses UK steel section properties which have been directly obtained from the
Corus Construction Manual, released on CD in February 2000.

The latest version of Steel Beam may be downloaded from :

BAR SCHEDULE FOR EXCEL 97
Bar Schedule for Excel 97 is a spreadsheet for the scheduling of steel for the
reinforcement of concrete. The spreadsheet has been developed to comply with
BS 4466 : 1989 and Amendment No. 1 published 28 February 1990.

The aim of the spreadsheet is to reduce the time taken to produce a bar
schedule, reduce arithmetical errors, reduce scheduling errors, increase
compliance with the BSI specified format for bar scheduling and, eventually,
become the basis for electronic data interchange.

 NOTES
FOREWORD
This spreadsheet implements the full Standard Method of calculating wind loads for buildings in accordance wi
6399 : Part 2 : 1997. This method is suitable for buildings up to 100m high. The workbook contains spreadsheet
can be printed as complete calculation pages. It also contains spreadsheets which can be used as design aids,
for hand calculations or checking designs.
The concept of the workbook is that each sheet remains independent of the others. No calculations are linked t
calculations on other sheets. This increases the amount of input but also gives greater flexibility in the use of the
workbook.

SETUP
This spreadsheet has been formatted using Arial, Arial Black, Symbol and Tahoma truetype fonts. The spreadsh
been optimised for a screen resolution of 1027x768 HiColor (16 bit) using large fonts.

Use the Zoom button on the toolbar to reduce or enlarge the display to suit your computer. Use the Save button
permanently store your new settings. Recommended zoom settings are as follows:
Screen resolution 800x600 with large fonts: 67%
Screen resolution 800x600 with small fonts: 85%
Screen resolution 1024x768 with large fonts 85%
Screen resolution 1024x768 with small fonts 105%

Company Details
Enter your company name and other details in the title block on the first sheet only. This is the 'Wind Speed I' sh
The details will be automatically copied to the other sheets. Company details cannot be entered in the other she

KEY INFORMATION
Microsoft Excel
This spreadsheet has been developed for use in Microsoft Excel 97 (v8.0) on the Microsoft Windows 95/98 ope
systems.
British Standard Specification (BSI)
This spreadsheet has been developed to comply with BS 6399 : Part 2 : 1997. (issued 15th July 1997)

Additional Information
Refer to the accompanying README.TXT file for additional information.

SIMPLIFICATIONS
(Producing conservative results)
1) Reduction in lateral loads by dividing building into a number of parts ignored.
2) Maximum pressure coefficients used for Funnelling on side walls.

ASSUMPTIONS
1) Factor Sb - values for 0 km site in town same as values for site in country.
Interpolation valid between 0 km and 2 km site in town.
2) Size effect factor Ca - key for 0 km site in town same as site in country.
3) Scaling length for flat roofs with parapets is based on H being height of wall including parapet.
4) Size effect factors for side wall and roof frictional drag calculations based on diagonal
length of total side wall or roof area respectively.
