This Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet was written by Evan Bentz, Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Toronto
Synopsis: This spreadsheet will calculate the code values of beta and theta for given values of:
1) concrete strength
2) ex strain
3) shear stress ratio (v/fc')
Reference none yet. Take a look at the Collins & Mitchell textbook
License This spreadsheet is in the public domain and may be used/modified by anyone.
Notes: To make the whole table of beta-theta, press the big red button below.
Notes: To use this, fill in the yellow input values below, and click the "minimize cost" button.
A box will appear indicating if a solution was found, and this may be accepted with the "ok" button.
Occasionally, entering new values in the top yellow section, or on solution will cause red writing to show up explai
is crushing. In that case, go down to the lower yellow square (the initial estimate of theta), and change that value
degrees. That should make the red warning go away, and allow the optimization to work when the button is press
