The application is created by Yo Ratanapeanchai, SE. The spreadsheet is intended as an
educational tool for the learning and understanding of the IBC 2000, IBC 2003 and ASCE7-02
edition. It will perform both Fire Life Safety (chapter 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15 ,29) and Structural

sheet PL, Detail and Beam). The input values or cells are indicated in blue font type or drop down
input. The program works best with macro enable but not required. To enable macro see Excel
help file. The application is freeware, so feel free to distribute.

The IBC spreadsheet was created so that it’s shown similarity with hand calculation. The result
can be easily verified (step by step) by hand calculation. I use the password to protect the
integrity of the spreadsheet. The user can exam or modify the content of cells by copy and paste
command to the new workbook. Please note that only worksheets Arch, Egress, EQ and Wind
