Other spreadsheets: BAR SCHEDULE FOR EXCEL 97

Bar Schedule for Excel 97 is a spreadsheet for the scheduling of steel for the reinforcement of concrete. The spreadsheet has been developed to comply with BS 4466 : 1989 and Amendment No. 1 published 28 February 1990.
The aim of the spreadsheet is to reduce the time taken to produce a bar schedule, reduce arithmetical errors, reduce scheduling errors, increase compliance with the BSI specified format for bar scheduling and, eventually, become the basis for electronic data interchange.

Other spreadsheets: WIND DESIGN WORKBOOK

This spreadsheet implements the full Standard Method of calculating wind loads for buildings in accordance with BS 6399 : Part 2 : 1997. This method is suitable for buildings up to 100m high. The workbook contains spreadsheets which can be printed as complete calculation pages. It also contains spreadsheets which can be used as design aids, useful for hand calculations or checking designs. For Engineers new to the code, the spreadsheet can prove an invaluable teaching aid.

NOTES

FOREWORD This spreadsheet is intended for use by reinforced concrete detailers and designers. It provides the user with the means to rapidly determine answers to the many questions that reinforced concrete design and detailing raise. This spreadshee could be looked on as an electronic book with an index followed by pages containing many individual calculators. Each calculator has a specific task to perform. The Reinforced Concrete Workbook also acts as an aide memoir, reminding th user of the various requirements to be observed. The concept of the workbook is that each table remains independent of the others. No calculations are linked to other tables. This increases the amount of input but should speed usage as the user does not have to search for input cells outside of the table they are using.

SETUP This spreadsheet has been formatted using Arial, Arial Black, Symbol and Tahoma truetype fonts. The spreadsheet has been optimised for a screen resolution of 1027x768 HiColor (16 bit) using large fonts. Use the Zoom button on the toolbar to reduce or enlarge the display to suit your computer. Use the Save button to permanently store your new settings. Recommended zoom settings are as follows: Screen resolution 800x600 with large fonts: 67% Screen resolution 800x600 with small fonts: 85% Screen resolution 1024x768 with large fonts: 85% Screen resolution 1024x768 with small fonts: 105%
