RCC 31 for Continous Design of One Way Slabs

Olusola

The original RCC 31 is a free spreadsheet program for the design of one way slabs. It designs to BS 8110 1997.

RCC 31 can design up to 6 slabs at once in a continuous design. It determines top and bottom reinforcement for each design slab in a neat and orderly manner.

The spreadsheet considers critical load cases, and checks that deflection is satisfied.

By default it designs utilizing moment redistribution but you can choose otherwise.

RCC 31 is not a garbage in garbage out software. It clearly tells you if your design is valid or not and gives error messages that can help troubleshoot your design.

Within the spreadsheet only green cells are editable.

Parameters required for a successful design include

strength and factor of safety of concrete and steel.

Span and thickness of slabs.

Loadings: Dead and live loads either as distributed/pointed loads.

The original RCC 31 is a public release program. Check the notes tab for details.

The spreadsheet best runs on the desktop version of Microsoft Excel.

About the RCC 51 Column Load Take Down Spreadsheet to BS 8110

In reinforced concrete pad footing design, one of the major questions asked is how to calculate the axial load and moments acting on the foundation columns.

Doing these calculations by hand can be tedious and time consuming.

You can use RCC 51, a spreadsheet program  that calculates the load from the structure that is acting on the pad footing.

It is known as column load take down. Recall that columns carry loads transferred from the slab and beams down to the pad footing foundation. RCC 51 will help you calculate the load acting on a particular pad footing as well as moments. It can also check if the column parameters you entered will lead to a short or slender column.
