Calculate Bar Lengths For Reinforcement Scheduled In Accordance With Bs 8666:2005
Calculates bar lengths for standard bar shapes and produces summaries of lengths and weights for bar types and diameters.
Differential Temperature Effects on a Continuous Beam
This spreadsheet calculates the secondary effects (bending moments and shear forces) produced by the releasing moment from differential temperature effects on a continuous beam.
Effective Span of Plate Girder with no Bearing
The effective span and maximum bearing pressure for a plate girder with no specific bearing is calculated in accordance with BD 56/10 clause 16 and Figure 16. 1A
Influence Line Diagrams for Single or Multispan Decks
Influence Line diagrams for bending moments at critical sections in a single or multi-span continuous beam.
Abnormal Load Vehicles, HB Vehicles, BD21 Annex D Vehicles and BD86 STGO Vehicles are analysed as moving loads across a single or multi-span continuous line beam to determine critical bending moments and shear forces.
Analysis for Static Loads and Settlement at Supports
Calculates bending moments and shear forces for loads on a single span or continuous multi-span beam using the moment distribution method.
Mexe Analysis To Bd 21/01 And Ba 16/97 For Single Span Masonry Arch
The modified MEXE analysis to BD 21/01 and BA 16/97 for single span masonry arch with option for axle lift-off.
Bending Moments, Axial and Shears Forces in a Plane Frame
A Plane Frame Analysis for bending moments, axial and shears forces in a plane frame structure under point loads, UDL's, linearly varying distributed loads (soil pressures) and moments.
Section Properties Of A Riveted Plate Girder
Section properties of a riveted plate girder to BD 56/10 and BS5400-3:2000 with facility to allow for corroded elements.
Section Properties of Solid Irregular Sections by Co-ordinate Geometry
This Proforma calculates the section properties of an irregular shaped cross section by co-ordinate geometry.
Section Properties of Voided Irregular Sections by Co-ordinate Geometry
This Proforma calculates the section properties, using co-ordinate geometry, of an irregular shaped cross section containing voids.
