BASEPLT9 is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel column base plates. Specifically, wide flange column base plates may be subjected to axial loads (compression or tension), with or without major-axis column bending, plus major-axis shear. Base plate bearing pressure is checked as well as bolt tension, if applicable. If shear is present, bolt shear as well as interaction of bolt tension and shear, if applicable, are calculated. Finally, the required base plate thickness is calculated. There is a separate worksheet for base plate shear lug design, when shear load is high and cannot be effectively handled by bolts.

This program is a workbook consisting of four (4) worksheets, described as follows:

Worksheet Name			Description
Doc			This documentation sheet
Base Plate			Steel column base plate analysis
Shear Lug			Steel column base - shear lug analysis
Base Plate (Table)			Multiple steel column base plate analysis (table format)

Calculation Reference : AISC

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.

Design of Reinforced Concrete: ACI 318-11 Code - 9th Edition

The ninth edition of the best-selling Design of Reinforced Concrete continues the tradition of earlier editions by introducing the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design in a clear and understandable manner and grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids. Students build on their understanding of basic mechanics to learn new concepts such as compressive stress and strain in concrete while applying current ACI Code.

The ninth edition has been updated to conform to the 2011 Building Code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-11).

Although written for an introductory three credit hour undergraduate course on reinforced concrete design, this textbook also has sufficient material for a second three credit hour course. This book is also useful for practicing engineers, as it presents the latest requirements of the ACI design code.

Content 
1 Introduction
2 Flexural Analysis of Beams
3 Strength Analysis of Beams According to ACI Code
4 Design of Rectangular Beams and One-Way Slabs
5 Analysis and Design of T Beams and Doubly Reinforced Beams

Water Tank - Buying Guide

Most of us the name when we pronounce water tank the word comes in mind is sintex...Ya Sintex is producing best water tanks in India

Sintex tanks are required for more than 70% of the population who construct houses and others who use these tanks to store water. Here in this article you will get the details of the varieties and its cost analysis which will be useful before purchasing sintex tanks.

There are three varieties in Sintex tank available in black and blue which are used regularly. 

Sintex White tank vs Black tank vs Renotuf vs Reno

Quality:-

1. Triple layer

2. Double Layer

3. Reno quality (Renotuf and Reno)

Triple layer qualities of sintex tanks are durable and strong. It is the first grade with ISI mark. 

The benefits of triple layer which are not found in double layer are:-

1. A white layer which is in between the two layer acts as a protection to the water which does not allow quick algae production. 

2. It also keeps the water free from PVC odour. 

3. The first outer layer acts a sun protection; hence this quality is more durable than double layer. 

The Reno quality is best suitable for household uses which is used as overhead tanks in most of the houses to store water. This is the cheapest quality used for regular use. 

Rates Comparison(2012):-

For 500 Litres the rate for triple layer will be Rs. 6.40 per litre, double layer will be Rs. 5.40per litre and Reno will be Rs. 3.40 per litre

For 3000-4500 Liters the rate will be between Rs.6.60-7.00,Rs.5.20-5.60 for double layer, Rs.3.60 for Reno variety.

For 6000-8500 Liters the rate will be Rs.6.90-7.50,Rs.5.50-5.90 for double layer and Rs.3.90 for Reno.

Note: The above rates exclude transportation and taxes. The rates may vary from state to state and city to city. These rates are approximate figures only for Mysore, Karnataka. 

Blue color sintex tanks are given more preference because black absorbs enough sunlight thus the durability will be lesser than the blue. After placing the order, the shopkeeper will take 2-3days to deliver the product as the 3000ltrs and above will be usually kept in godowns or will be procured only on orders. 

Finally, in conclusion the above information is just to give you initial information of the product.
