This spreadsheet calculates the capacity of a cantilever sheet pile in English units and using common US sheeting sections. The geotechnical worksheet computes earth pressures and embedment. The Structural worksheet uses BEAMANAL spreadsheet by Alex Tomanovich, P.E. and the geotechnical analsyis worksheet to compute stresses and deflections.
Basic capacity design provisions are given in CSA S16 to ascertain that minimum strength hierarchy exists along the lateral load path such that the intended ductile energy dissipation mechanism is mobilized and the integrity of the structure is maintained under strong ground shaking. In the design process, the yielding components of the SFRS may be oversized compared to the specified design seismic forces, as would be the case when drift limits, minimum member sizes or non-seismic load combinations govern the design. In this case, it is specified both in NBCC 2010 and CSA S16 that the design forces in capacity-protected elements need not exceed those induced by a storey shear determined with RoRd = 1.3. This upper bound essentially corresponds to the elastic seismic force demand reduced by 1.3, recognizing that nonyielding components will likely possess minimum overstrength. This 1.3 reduction factor only applies if the governing failure mode is ductile, and RoRd = 1.0 must be used otherwise.

Core-walls have been the most popular seismic force resisting system in western Canada for many decades, and recently have become popular on the west coast of the US for high-rise buildings up to 600 ft (180 m) high. Without the moment frames that have traditionally been used in high-rise concrete construction in the US, the system offers the advantages of lower cost and more flexible architecture.
In the US, such buildings are currently being designed using nonlinear response history analysis (NLRHA) at the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) level of ground motion. In Canada, these buildings are designed using only linear dynamic (response spectrum) analysis at the MCE hazard level combined with various prescriptive design procedures.
This paper presents the background to some of the prescriptive design procedures that have recently been developed to permit the safe design of high-rise core-wall buildings using only the results of response spectrum analysis (RSA).
The series of European standards commonly known as “Eurocodes”, EN 1992 (Eurocode 2, in the following also listed as EC2) deals with the design of reinforced concrete structures – buildings, bridges and other civil engineering works. EC2 allows the calculation of action effects and of resistances of concrete structures submitted to specific actions and contains all the prescriptions and good practices for properly detailing the reinforcement.
In this spreadsheet , the principles of Eurocode 2, part 1-1 are applied to the design of core wall.

Mix design plays an imperative function in civil construction projects. With the aim of obtaining the accurate measurement of any construction site, the usage of this user-friendly concrete mix design spreadsheet is absolutely necessary. This handy construction sheet will supply you the amounts of mix design for your construction site.
The concrete mix design refers to a technique for choosing suitable ingredients of concrete as well as establishing their balanced values so as to produce a concrete of the optimal strength, elasticity and feasibility as economically as possible.
The following properties are required to extend basis of choosing and proportioning of mix ingredients:
-The smallest amount of compressive strength is obligatory from structural consideration
-The adequate workability is considered necessary for complete compaction through the obtainable compacting equipment.
-Extreme water-cement ratio and supreme cement content to offer ample force for the specific site conditions
-Highest cement content to steer clear of shrinkage cracking due to temperature cycle in mass concrete.
The popular RC-spreadsheets package version 4 was issued following the amendment to the UK National Annex to Eurocode 2 in December 2009. These Excel spreadsheets are intended as aids for design to both Eurocode 2 and BS 8110-1:1997.
Version 4B.2 provides updates to Version 4B.1 that reflect developments and improvements particularly with respect to punching shear, column design and pilecap design as well as applying bug fixes.
What does RC Spreadsheets do?
For the experienced engineer, the spreadsheets allow the rapid production of clear and accurate design calculations. For post-graduates and new engineers they encourage understanding of concrete design and help the gaining of experience by studying ‘what if’ scenarios. The individual user is able to answer their own questions by chasing through the cells to understand the logic used.
Since their release in January 2000, the RC Spreadsheets have proved to be enormously popular. They are written for engineers by engineers. The original spreadsheets have evolved and been added to and the usefulness and robustness of the product have been enhanced by users feedback. If you have any comments please let us know.
