MONORAIL.xls Download

Description:

"MONORAIL.xls" is a MS-Excel spreadsheet program for analysis of beam end connections using a tab plate per AISC 9th Edition (ASD). There is one worksheet for S-shaped monorial beams and another worksheet for W-shaped monorail beams. Monorail beams are analyzed as single-span beams with or without a cantilever (overhang). Torsional effects are considered as well as bottom flange local bending using 2 different methods.

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.

Maltin 2008-09-09 16:24:16 After I used, benefited, and enjoyed your spreadsheets, finally I found the time to say, "Thank you".

Frank Mann 2008-11-14 13:29:35 First off, THANK YOU for sharing the excellent work on all of your spreadsheets; you truly epitomise "practical application" of science for the practicing engineer! In regards to MONORAIL.xls, the vertical deflection for the beam overhang uses Lo*12/450 . . . shouldn't this be 2*Lo*12/450 for cantilever beam deflection? Thanks again for your outstanding, thorough, and concise work!

Timothy Heup 2008-11-20 11:28:16 I agree with the others, this is ia first-rate spreadsheet. I've shown this to my younger colleagues, and it is a very useful way to show them some of the concepts I've picked up over the years. It is complete, clear and thorough. THank you for an excellent spreadsheet.
