SemiCircular Tension Fitting Calculation Spreadsheet

SemiCircular Tension Fitting Calculation Spreadsheet

 

  • Purpose of calculation: Calculate stress in a ‘semi circular’ tension fitting (or bath tub fitting).
  • Calculation Reference: UK railway industry method (the British Rail “Brown Book” method).
  • Calculation Validation: Independent verification is required.

Design For Roof Purlins Spreadsheet

Design For Roof Purlins Spreadsheet

 

This spreadsheet is to be used to check the adequacy of roof purlins for a specified combination of loads. The designis based on the maximum yeild strength (Mn = FySx) as stated in the AISC Manual 13th Ed. This spread sheet can only be used for load combinations with two variables. In most cases the worst case scenario is 0.6DL+W, so this should be adequate. Only the values in the highlighted cells need to be changed.

Steel Beams With Web Openings Calculation Spreadsheet

Steel Beams With Web Openings Calculation Spreadsheet

 

This spreadsheet determines whether a steel beam with known loads, and hence known Moments and Shears, can have web openings added. The first worsheet will determine if an opening can be added at a specific location without reinforcement. The second worksheet goes through the same check as the first and then determines what reinforcing is necessary. The third spreadsheet is the steel data tables as made available by AISC.

Design Of Ships Masts Spreadsheet

Design Of Ships Masts Spreadsheet

 

This spreadsheet incorporates Vessel motion loading with Environmental Criteria in estimating stresses for mast designs. It covers both unstayed and stayed mast in SI unit and Imperia unit. Although it is being specifically doctored for mast, it could be adapted for estimating stresses of similar structures on floating unit such include Burner boom, Derricks etc. The calculation is referenced to Design of Ships masts R.W. Milliman published by the Association of Engineering and Shipbuilding Draughtsman AESA.
