Excel Tables for JOISTS strengths VULCRAFT (K-series, etc.)

Excel Tables for JOISTS strengths VULCRAFT (K-series, etc.)

(OP)
Good day,

I've been doing some structural design of a school, I had never modeled joists before with ETABS, but it seems to have an option where you give the joists capacities and their moment of inertia.I know I can just give it a fixed value of moment of inertia and let it do its work but I want to try out the option where you give values depending on their spans, I wonder if it actually gives me a more accurate response.

The problem is that putting the information is quite tedious since I have the printed vulcraft joist catalog. I was wondering if anybody has dealt with this before and has had the chance to store an excel table with all the values or if they have somehow obtained one from the manufacturers. Well I hope anyone can help me with this.


Greetings, Shaddy.
