NDS Connection Lateral Design Values
NDS Connection Lateral Design Values
(OP)
I need a lateral design value (Z) for a screw size and member connection not shown in the tables. I tried setting up an excel file to do the yield limit calculations (all 6), I think my file is correct, but I do not get the values specified in the tables (NDS 2005).
The values in table 11.3.2 are a little off-but I checked those and the formulas are simple-I just think the table doesn't use the exact value from the formula. And since Fem=Fes it shouln't make a huge difference. I have attached the excel file.
My values are coming in a fair bit higher and I don't know why.I was just hoping some of you had experience calculating these by hand and was wondering if you could help. The file is yours if you can fix it-my broken gift to you for the help.

This spreadsheet is sweet. Seems to work perfect for bolts. Can it be set up for lag screws as well?
RE: NDS Connection Lateral Design Values
Its now set up to do everything. Withdrawal, Lateral, Bolts, lags, nails ect. and it can do metal plates.
The C values chart works for dowels, havent set it up for the other crap-anything not set up is in red.
Enjoy,
And if you have any sweet spreadsheats of your own-feel free to send some my way!

I'll have to check it out tomorrow. After looking at your formulas and layout I don't think I've got anything that you'd consider sweet! If I have time I'll send you one that I designed for built up beams. Maybe you could give me a few pointers! You're Excel expertise appears to be well above mine.
