RC Spreadsheets:Top tips for designing with concrete

Webinar12:30 - 13:30 on 13 July 2015

The RC Spreadsheets v4 are intended to help with

the rapid production of clear and accurate design

calculations for reinforced concrete elements.

These Excel spreadsheets are intended as aids for

design to both Eurocode 2 and BS 8110-1:1997.

What are the spreadsheets?




1. RC Spreadsheets require an MS Office

operating system with Excel 2010 or 2013.The TCC series of spreadsheets are saved as the moreefficient.xlsm files (MS Office 2010). Macros in .xlsm files can

help complete repetitive tasks but may lead to warnings

within Excel. For earlier versions of Excel, use the Helpfunction in Excel Help to ensure compatibility.

2. The RC Spreadsheets v4B are supplied on a

USB.

Getting Started

3. Insert the USB into the appropriate port in

your computer and follow the on-screen Windows prompt toopen the device.

4. The folder can then be copied to your

preferred location within your computer. It is

recommended that the source version is retained, to enable

the product to be restored if required.

Getting Started




5. There are comprehensive user guides in

the ADMIN folder (in Adobe pdf format). Additional

guides for beta versions of spreadsheets are also in this folder.

6. Help:

• Help function in Excel,

• the User Guides,

• restoring the base version of the

spreadsheet,• www.concretecentre.com/rcdesign or

• email [email protected].

Getting Started

Using the Spreadsheets• Blue underlined cells are for data entry

• Red highlighted cells or red text indicate entry errors

• Do not paste or drag data (destroys conditional cell

formatting)

• Do not open an individual spreadsheet in more than onewindow (this may disable pull-down menus)

• Information about each spreadsheet will be found in the

User Guides, contained in the ADMIN folder.

Getting Started




Macros• The macros used enable automated routines.

• The printing macros have been assigned to buttons

• Turning the macros off will affect the function of some

spreadsheets

• Turning the macros off will also make printing of the

sheets as configured difficult and make the choice of

options much more difficult

• If macros are not enabled on your system:

•

within Excel 2010 click Tools/Macro/Security, set yoursecurity level to ‘Medium’ and reboot.

• within Excel 2013 click File/Options/Trust Centre/Macro

Settings and choose ‘Disable all macros with notification’ (or

lower’). Answer questions anout ‘Enable content’, ‘Enable

content’ and ‘Trusted Document’ affirmatively. Reboot as

necessary.

Getting Started

Fonts

• The embedded graphics assume Marker and twoTekton fonts are used

• To check fonts select Start (or Settings)/Control

Panel/Fonts, and view the font list

• To install the intended fonts, click ADMIN/THE FONTS

then in turn right click the desired font and clickInstall/.

Getting Started




Managing the Spreadsheets

• The spreadsheets should be used in

compliance with the User Guides available,

with attention paid to any amendments

• Users and managers should be aware that

spreadsheets can be changed and must address

change control and versions for use under a QA

procedure

• Appropriate levels of supervision and

checking, including self-checking, must be

exercised when using these spreadsheets

• Good design requires sound judgement based

on competence derived from adequate

training and experience – not just computer

programs.

Concept:13 schemes in 5 minutes

Webinar13 July 2015 (if there is time)

Concept.xls is an invaluable design tool for the conceptual design of

reinforced concrete frames. In minutes, the spreadsheet produces

13 concrete frame options which can then be compared for time

and cost.

It suggests the optimum concrete frame, giving:

• initial slab, beam and column sizes;

• reinforcement estimates and

• quantities of formwork and concrete.

• the costs of foundations, construction time, labour and cladding for

each of the potential concrete frames.

• Based on minimising total cost of concrete, reinforcement, formwork,cladding and self weight (load to foundations).
