Overview
Spreadsheets in Structural Design provides a unique and highly practical explanation of the use of spreadsheets to facilitate the design of structures in a range of key materials, such as concrete, steel and brick. Using spreadsheets in this way has important implications in terms of cost and efficiency, and represents a very useful tool hitherto largely neglected by the design community. Each chapter contains spreadsheet layouts to illustrate the method, drawn from different areas of design and using a range of materials and Codes of Practice. Examples used relate to reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry and steel but the approach is easily extended to other materials and other fields of design. Practising structural engineers, civil engineers and architects will find this book an invaluable guide for the solution of routine design problems. It is also useful reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of structural design, civil engineering and architecture.Editorials
