SPREADSHEETS FOR CONCRETE DESIGN TO BS 8110 and EC2 User Guide to Excel spreadsheet files for contemporary reinforced concrete design to BS 8110: Part 1, 1997 and EC2 (ENV 1992) with commentary C H Goodchild BSc, CEng, MCIOB, MIStructE R M Webster CEng, FIStructE NB This version of the User Guide may have been superseded by the publication Spreadsheets for concrete design to BS 8110 and EC2 and by the file UserGuid.pdf Foreword This publication was produced by the Reinforced Concrete Council (RCC) as part of its project 'Spreadsheets for concrete design to BS 8110 and EC2'. This project was jointly funded by the RCC and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) under its Partners in Technology scheme and was made possible by members of industry with their contributions in kind. The RCC was set up to promote better knowledge and understanding of reinforced concrete design and building technology. Its members are Allied Steel & Wire, representing the major suppliers of reinforcing steel in the UK, and the British Cement Association, representing the major manufacturers of Portland cement in the UK. Charles Goodchild is Senior Engineer for the Reinforced Concrete Council. He was responsible for the concept and management of this project and this publication. Rod Webster of Concrete Innovation & Design is principal author of the spreadsheets. He has been writing RC spreadsheets since 1984 and is expert in the design of tall concrete buildings and in advanced analytical methods.

It provides: • A User Guide for the spreadsheets produced under the above project • Examples of current commercial reinforced concrete design • A consensus of current commercial reinforced concrete design practice • A consensus of opinion concerning reinforced concrete design to EC2. The spreadsheets are intended to follow normal design practice and cater for the design of low- to medium-rise multi-storey concrete framed buildings. Over a number of years, the Reinforced Concrete Council has developed spreadsheets to produce cost-optimised span/depth charts(1). It was recognised that the spreadsheets could prove to be a very useful tool for all designers – equally useful to the single practitioner, larger organisations and educational establishments. Thus in 1996 a project was set up to commit reinforced concrete design to computer spreadsheet files. The project was jointly funded by the RCC and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) under its Partners in Technology scheme. It was made possible by the support and contributions of time given by individual members of industry. The project was managed by the Reinforced Concrete Council and guided by an 80-strong Advisory Group of interested parties, including consulting engineers and software houses. The spreadsheets were to be issued with publications covering their use, complete with model designs and commentary. Two issues were originally envisaged: one to BS 8110: Part 1, 1997, Structural use of concrete(2), and one to Eurocode 2, Design of concrete structures, Part 1(3). Owing to current uncertainties with the final detailed content of EC2, the number of spreadsheets to the current ENV has been curtailed. Nonetheless, it has been possible to maintain a comprehensive coverage and present the spreadsheets to EC2 with those to BS 8110 in this single-volume user guide. The design of concrete structures has been described as time consuming and costly. Computer programs are used extensively but designers are often reluctant to rely on ‘black box’ technology over which they have little knowledge or control. Computer spreadsheets, on the other hand, are user- friendly, completely transparent and very powerful, and are becoming increasingly popular in all aspects of engineering. They have powerful graphical presentation facilities and established links with other software, notably word processors. In structural engineering, they suit concrete design ideally, in that they can carry out a series of mathematical calculations and, as in design, can check whether certain conditions are met. They are an ideal medium to deal with the intricacies of concrete design. And this is where it is hoped the publication and spreadsheets will help students and inexperienced engineers grasp an understanding of reinforced concrete design. For the experienced engineer, spreadsheets allow the rapid production of clear and accurate design calculations. It is hoped that the spreadsheets will allow younger users to understand concrete design and help them to gain experience by studying their own ‘what if’ scenarios. The individual user should be able to answer their own questions by chasing through the cells to uploads/Geographie/ guide-for-spreadsheets.pdf
