AISC-LRFD HSS Bracing Punch Plate Connection

BEAMCOL9 is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis and code checking of steel beams and columns. Specifically, beams and columns are analyzed / code checked per the AISC 9th Edition Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Manual. Both actual and allowable stresses are computed, with the final result being a computed "stress ratio" of actual stress/allowable stress. Also, a list of the lightest weight members which satisfy the code check is displayed for convenience.

This program is a workbook consisting of six (6) worksheets, described as follows:

• Doc - Documentation sheet
• BeamCol(I) - Analysis / Code Check for W, S, M, and HP Shapes
• BeamCol(Built-Up) - Analysis / Code Check for Non-Database and Built-Up Shapes
• BeamCol(C) - Analysis / Code Check for Channel Shapes
• BeamCol(Tube) - Analysis / Code Check for Rectangular HSS (Tube) Shapes
• BeamCol(Pipe) - Analysis / Code Check for Round HSS and Pipe ShapesAll the worksheets are independent and self contained, so that you can move them from one workbook to another. All the worksheets are protected, but not with a password.
