There are two ways to use this spreadsheet. If you fill in the yellow colored cells, it will calculate the stress in the concrete and in the reinforcing steel. Or, you can use "goal seek" to set the concrete stress equal to an allowable value (e.g. 0.45f' c ) and vary the moment in cell C12 to determine the moment that would cause the concrete to reach its allowable stress. Similarly, you can set the steel stress to an allowable value (e.g. 24,000) and see what moment would have caused that.
