    Quick Tool for

    Analysis &
    Design of Beams
    Name: Syed Jafar Shah Bukhari
    Registration # 00000119080
    Submitted To: Dr. Wasim Khaliq

    AIMS & OBJECTIVES


    Develop a simple tool for quick analysis and design of RC
    members.
    To minimize, if not completely eradicate, the use of nonengineered construction of structures, particularly houses
    and to provide a free, quick and efficient tool for analysis
    and design.
    Unlike the other complex software, requiring high specs
    computers, the users will be able to use this tool via smart
    phones, which will make it portable and best for on-sight
    check of analysis and design.

    METHODOLOGY
    ASTM and ACI specified standards for construction of RC
    members were followed.
    The tool is developed in Microsoft Excel using the basic
    commands and functions as well as the programing
    language of MS Excel i-e Visual Basic of Application
    (VBA).
    Two separate Excel spread sheets are developed, one for
    flexural analysis and design while the other for shear
    analysis and design of beams.

    How to Operate
    Only the following inputs are required, which are put in
    green boxes:
    fc' (ksi) and fy (ksi)
    beam width 'b' (in) and Assume beam depth 'h' (in)
    D.L(ksi) and L.L(ksi)
    support width (in) and Clear span Ln (ft) and c/c distance b/w
    beams (ft)

    Slab thickness hf (in) and Select Beam Case

    Inputs Required

    How to Operate Cont.


    After entering the required inputs, flexural or shear
    analysis and design of the beam will be generated
    automatically.
    ACI design checks will also be employed.

    Output: Flexural Analysis and Design of the Beam.

    Output: Shear Analysis and Design of the Beam.

    Limitations and Future Plans


    For now this tool is applicable for flexural and shear
    design of beams with uniformly distributive loads only but
    in the future I intend to develop similar spread sheets for
    design of slabs, footings and columns with all types of
    loadings.

    Suggestions and
    Questions are
    Welcomed

    Thank You
