Pre-Dimensioning of Beams and Columns Excel Sheet


Pre-Dimensioning of beams and columns excel sheet conduct a preliminary calculation for centric loaded columns. For columns with bending components and other geometric boundary conditions, please contact our Technical Department.In the case of reinforced concrete, structural elements preliminary design stage has a high importance due to the contribution to the dead loads (the weight of the sectional elements) and to the total mass of the construction. Pre-dimensioning depends on various conditions such as stiffness (admissible deflection), ductility (proper sizing of structural elements so as to create areas with sufficient seismic energy dissipation capacity of deformation in post-elastic domain.
