Autodesk Spreadsheet Calculator for RSA Pro 2013

Autodesk Spreadsheet Calculator for RSA Pro 2013

 

Engineering spreadsheet environment and spreadsheet hosting application with embedded links to Robot Structural Analysis products, allowing users to integrate their spreadsheet applications and communicate with Robot Structural Analysis.

Spreadsheet Calculator consists of a set of simple and complex calculation schemas for many areas of structural engineering. It provides a practical representation of codes and standards that can be used when performing calculations as well as detailed formulas for specific engineering problems. You can create complex calculations by selecting simple problems.

You can also add custom calculations to the existing schemas or create new schemas using the Spreadsheet Calculator tools. This way you can build a library of custom applications. Parameters can be exchanged between schemas so the output of a given calculation can serve as the input for other calculations.

 

Spreadsheet Calculator program is an open system.

You can have an unlimited number of new schemas, codes, libraries, languages.

Because Spreadsheet Calculator is built on COM technology, you can exchange information among other programs and engineering tools.

Output from Spreadsheet Calculator can be read as input into the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis program. There is no need to type the information.

You can generate structure models using the Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis program.

You can perform a detailed analysis of structure data.Calculations are presented as complete technical documents containing detailed formulas, code references, and drawings. A generalized schema of a library module as well as its graphical form is maintained for all engineering problems.

TEKLA Structure Tutorial Videos

Tekla Structures is one of the most capable and advanced software in this field, but on the other hand, that makes it also a little more complicated because it has more tools, settings, possibilities, and opportunities for customization. Very much like with any other software, it`s possible to learn Tekla by yourself.

Bar Bending Schedule Of Box Culvert

Definition of Bar bending

It is the method of bending reinforcing steel into shapes which are important for reinforced concrete construction.

Definition of Bar bending schedule(BBS)

Bar bending schedule alias schedule of bars refers to a list of reinforcement bars, a specified RCC work item that is shown in a tabular form for a smooth view. This table sums up all the necessary particulars of bars ranging from diameter, shape of bending, length of each bent and straight portions, angles of bending, total length of each bar, and number of each type of bar. This information can be used for making an estimate of quantities.

It includes all the details essential for fabrication of steel like bar mark, bar type and size, number of units, length of a bar, shape code, distance between stirrups (column, plinth, beam) etc.

While generating bar schedules, it is important to take proper care about length. In case of bending, bar length will be raised at the bending positions.

Benefits of the Bar Schedule:

When bar bending schedule is applied along with reinforcement detailed drawing, it makes the quality of construction superior.

Once bar bending schedule is prepared, cutting and bending of reinforcement is performed at factory and shipped to job site. This improves quick implementation at site and minimizes construction time and cost as fewer workers are needed for bar bending. Bar bending also circumvents the wastage of steel reinforcement (5 to 10%) and thus project cost is saved significantly.

It offers the perfect estimation of reinforcement steel requirement for all the structural members which are applied to workout complete reinforcement requirement for whole project.

Bar bending schedule offers the steel quantity requirement in a better way and thus delivers an option to make optimal use of the design in case of cost overflow.

The process becomes simple for site engineers to validate and approve the bar bending and cutting length throughout inspection prior to positioning of concrete with the support of bar bending schedule and thus facilitates in superior quality control.

It becomes easier to handle the reinforcement stock necessary for identified time duration.

It will facilitate to fabrication of R/F with structure.

Surcharge Pressures Boussinesq multiple loads

Surcharge Pressures Boussinesq multiple loads

 

This spreadsheet computes lateral pressure against retaining wall due to vertical surcharge area loads. It handles multiple area loads and uses theory of elasticity equations developed by Boussinesq. Subsequently, the spreadsheet calculates shear force and bending moment diagrams. Worksheet is protected but without password.

“WALLPRES” – WALL PRESSURE ANALYSIS

“WALLPRES” – WALL PRESSURE ANALYSIS

 

Program Description:

“WALLPRES” is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of determining the horizontal (lateral) pressures to be applied to walls from various types of loading including lateral earth pressure, hydrostatic pressure, as well as uniform, point, line, and strip surcharge loadings.

This program is a workbook consisting of five (5) worksheets, described as follows:

Doc – documentation sheet
Wall Soil Pressures – Static horizontal soil pressure against wall
Wall Pressures from Point Load – Horizontal pressures on rigid wall from point surcharge load
Wall Pressures from Line Load – Horizontal pressures on rigid wall from continuous strip surcharge load
Wall Pressures from Strip Load – Horizontal pressures on rigid wall from continuous line surcharge load

Program Assumptions and Limitations:

1.  This program is based on the following references:

a. NAVFAC DM-7.02 Manual – “Foundations & Earth Structures” (1986)
b. NAVFAC DM-7.01 Manual – “Soil Mechanics” (1986)
c. Army TM 5-818-1 / Air Force AFM 88-3, Chap. 7 (Oct. 1983) “Soils and Geology Procedures for Foundation Design of Buildings and Other Structures”
d. “Foundation Analysis and Design” (2nd Edition), by: Joseph E. Bowles McGraw-Hill, 1977
e. “USS Steel Sheet Piling Design Manual” – updated and reprinted by FHWA with permission (July 1984)
f. “Lateral Soil Pressure on Retaining Walls and Embedded Exterior Walls of Structures” Report U7-PROJ-S-RPT-STRU-6001, by: Sargent & Lundy, LLC (Feb. 26, 2009) for South Texas Project Units 3 & 4, Project No.: 12462-003

2.  The resulting pressures obtained from the worksheets in this workbook can be used in the design of the stems of either cantilever or propped cantilever retaining walls, as well as for long walls of tanks and pits.

3.  The equations used in the “Wall Pressures from Point Load” and “Wall Pressures from Line Load” worksheets are from References “a” through “e” above, utilizing original (1885) Boussinesq Equations modified to correlate with experimental test results.  The Boussinesq equations assume the that wall is rigid and does not move, and that the wall is perfectly smooth (no shear stress between wall and soil). Thus, the equations overestimate the wall pressures for flexible walls by up to a factor of 2.

4.  The equation used in the “Wall Pressures from Strip Load” worksheet is from References “d” and “e” above. Again, this equation assumes that the wall is rigid (does not move), which overestimates the wall pressures for flexible walls by up to a factor of 2.  Thus, the factor of 2 appears in the numerator of this version of the equation.  Other references may cite this equation without the factor of 2, which would normally be more applicable for flexible walls which are able to move at top.

5.  This program contains “comment boxes” which contain information including explanations of input items, 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”.)
