Does the above embedded function look familiar? Then maybe you can resolve my frustration. I used the drop down list to select a beam size. This works fine. What I am having trouble with is using the embeded CHOOSE(MATCH()) fuction to output a beam property from a spreadsheet containing many...

Hg, I just checked my 1989 9th ed. ASD steel manual against my newer 2001 3rd ed. LRFD steel manual. The LRFD manual shows several bigger W shapes. I also found that the larger beams show different dimensional values. Thank you for that insight. Chong

Thanks for the heads up yakpol, but I do not have the 13th edition. I am guessing that that is the black, mut steel manual. I will stick to my pure bread blue and greens. Not willing to pay $300 to confuse myself even more. Anyhow, I think I did get a cd rom with my lrfd steel manual, do you...

SWEET! Even Better. Very comprehensive. Thank you GroStruc.

BEEEEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. That thread was so helpful. The poster had the same issue I had. Nice to know that I'm not alone. In anycase, thank you again for that incredible index finger. You are a blessing.

Also, the new culvert extension will be cast in place.

Hello fellow structural engineers, I am designing a concrete box culvert extension that is to be connected to an existing concrete culvert. The decking of the culvert will also be subjected to vehicular traffic. I am trying to come up with a solution to connect the new and old culvert. I was...

Hello, I am designing a barrier type 26 per Caltrans detail B11-54. I am building this barrier on top of a new box culvert and wingwalls. On the caltrans detail, there are two barrier types: 1. Type 26: On Bridge Deck 2. Type 26A: Off Bridge Deck I don't know what Caltrans means by "Off"...

I've tried googling it too, but I haven't had any luck. I guess I will have to pay for one. Seems like it's worth the money anyways. Thanks for your tips. Much appreciated.

Anything better than $40? I don't think I can get reimbursed for this.

Does anybody have a spreadsheet that lists all steel beam section properties? I would like to incorporate this into my spreadsheets. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

How do I obtain a spreasheet that lists all the section properties of AISC steel beams? I'd love to incorporate this into my spreadsheets!

Thanks for the tips.

I am trying develop an excel spreadsheet that calculates the maximum moment in a steel pile used for excavation shorings. I am only considering lateral earth pressures. I would like to learn how to calculate moment on excel. Does anybody have a spreadsheet that calculates moment from...
