Abstract
The objective of this project is to develop a formulated Excel sheet for the design of simple and hollow R.C.C. beams, aiming to provide a user-friendly tool for engineers and designers to efficiently perform beam design calculations. The Excel sheet comprises three sheets, with Sheet 1 for the calculation and formulation of simple beams, Sheet 2 for the calculation and formulation of hollow beams, and Sheet 3 for taking inputs from the user and displaying the results obtained from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.The formulated Excel sheet allows users to input design parameters such as beam span, beam depth, beam width, concrete grade, steel grade, loads, and other relevant parameters in Sheet 3, which are then automatically referenced and used in the calculations in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2. The design results, including effective length of the beam, effective depth of the beam, dead load, total and ultimate load, bending stress, shear stress, area of steel required, number of steel bars required, and other parameters, are displayed in tabular form in Sheet 3 based on the input values provided by the user.The advantages of this formulated Excel sheet include its user-friendly interface, automated calculations based on input values, quick and efficient design result generation, and flexibility to design both simple and hollow R.C.C. beams. The Excel sheet serves as a valuable tool for engineers and designers in the design process, providing accurate and reliable results for beam design, and potentially saving time and effort in the design process.
