AASHTO LRFD Slab.xls

Short Description:

AASHTO 2004 LRFD SLAB DESIGN: This spreadsheet was created to aid in the rapid design and/or checking of Bridge Decks or Reinforced Concrete Boxes in accordance with AASHTO 2004 LRFD. The 2nd Bar layer is particularly handy for different bar sizes used in the same layer, such as in Bridge Deck Cantilevers.

Beam Design Functions.zip

Short Description:

Elastic Analysis of Reinforced and Prestressed Sections

The spreadsheet presented in the previous post in this series uses the basic equation given below to find the location of the neutral axis:

For a cross section with any applied axial load at eccentricity e, measured from the compression face, and depth of the neutral axis X below the compression face:

INA = QNA(X + e)

Where QNA and INA are the first and second moments of area about the neutral axis.

To illustrate this relationship the value of INA has been plotted for a range of neutral axis positions for a typical precast bridge beam, shown below, and compared with the value QNA(X + e) for 5 different values of e.

The intersection of the INA and QNA(X + e) lines gives the depth of the neutral axis for the corresponding value of load eccentricity, e. This is illustrated in the second graph, where the value of (INA - QNA(X + e)) is plotted against the depth of the neutral axis, X, for a load eccentricity of 1 metre above the compression face. The intersection of this line with the X axis gives the depth of the neutral axis for the specified load eccentricity.

Note: Another calculation file ULS Design Functions.zip contains User Defined Functions (UDF’s) that will find the ultimate bending capacity of any reinforced or prestressed concrete section

Beam with stress.xls

Short Description:: This is a modification to an Alex Tomanovich spreadsheet (Thanks Alex) for bending in a single-span beam. I added a few additional beam shapes and the option to input user defined moment of inertia and section modulus. I also added an input for allowable stress, calculations for bending stress in the beam, and the stress ratio.
P.S. As was the case with the original sheet by Alex, the sheet is protected, but there is no password.

BEAMANAL (metric).xls

Short Description:: "BEAMANAL" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of either single-span or continuous-span beams subjected to virtually any type of loading configuration. Four (4) types of single-span beams and two (2) through (5) span, continuous-span beams, considered. Specifically, beam end reactions as well as the maximum moments and deflections are calculated. Plots of both the shear and moment diagrams are produced, as well as a tabulation of the shear, moment, slope, and deflection for the beam or each individual span.
Note: this is a metric units version of the original "BEAMANAL.xls" spreadsheet workbook.

This program is a workbook consisting of three (3) worksheets, described as follows:

Worksheet Name
Doc - This documentation sheet
Single-Span Beam - Single-span beam analysis for simple, propped, fixed, & cantilever beams
Continuous-Span Beam - Continuous-span beam analysis for 2 through 5 span beams

Program Assumptions and Limitations:
1.   The following reference was used in the development of this program (see below): "Modern Formulas for Statics and Dynamics, A Stress-and-Strain Approach" by Walter D. Pilkey and Pin Yu Chang, McGraw-Hill Book Company (1978), pages 11 to 21.
2.   This program uses the three (3) following assumptions as a basis for analysis:
          a. Beams must be of constant cross section (E and I are constant for entire span length).
          b. Deflections must not significantly alter the geometry of the problem.
          c. Stress must remain within the "elastic" region.
3.   On the beam or each individual span, this program will handle a full length uniform load and up to eight (8) partial uniform, triangular, or trapezoidal loads, up to fifteen (15) point loads, and up to four (4) applied moments.
4.   For single-span beams, this program always assumes a particular orientation for two (2) of the the four (4) different types. Specifically, the fixed end of either a "propped" or "cantilever" beam is always assumed to be on the right end of the beam.
5.   This program will calculate the beam end vertical reactions and moment reactions (if applicable), the maximum positive moment and negative moment (if applicable), and the maximum negative deflection and positive deflection (if applicable). The calculated values for the end reactions and maximum moments and deflections are determined from dividing the beam into fifty (50) equal segments with fifty-one (51) points, and including all of the point load and applied moment locations as well. (Note: the actual point of maximum moment occurs where the shear = 0, or passes through zero, while the actual point of maximum deflection is where the slope = 0.)
6.   The user is given the ability to input two (2) specific locations from the left end of the beam to calculate the shear, moment, slope, and deflection.
7.   The user is also given the ability to select an AISC W, S, C, MC, or HSS (rectangular tube) shape to aide in obtaining the X-axis moment of inertia for input for the purely analysis worksheets.
8.   The plots of the shear and moment diagrams as well as the displayed tabulation of shear, moment, slope, and deflection are based on the beam (or each individual span) being divided up into fifty (50) equal segments with fifty-one (51) points.
9.   For continuous-span beam of from two (2) through five (5) spans, this program utilizes the "Three-Moment Equation Theory" and solves a system simultaneous equations to determine the support moments
10. This program contains numerous “comment boxes” which contain a wide variety of information including explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a “comment box” is denoted by a “red triangle” in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box").
A US imperial version of this file is available.

BEAMANAL.xls

Short Description:

"BEAMANAL.xls" is a MS-Excel spreadsheet workbook for the analysis of single-span beams (simple, propped, fixed, or cantilever) and continuous beams of up to 5 spans. The user may apply point, uniform, and varying loads, as well as applied moments. Shear, moment, slope (rotation), and deflection are computed as well as the end reactions. Shear and moment diagrams are also plotted. There is an addtional worksheet for single-span beams that also performs AISC 9th Edition Code checks for strong-axis bending (only) as well as shear.
All the worksheets are independent and self contained, so that you can move them from one workbook to another. All the worksheets are protected, but not with a password.
Please read the "DOC" worksheet for program details as well as assumptions and limitations.

Metric version is also available .
