Elastic Analysis of Reinforced and Prestressed Sections

Contents:

Name Purpose
Elastic Find strain, stress, force and moment in prestressed and
reinforced concrete beams with linear elastic material
properties. Any section made up of rectangular or
trapezoidal layers

Quartic Find the real roots of quartic equations

Cubic Find the real roots of cubic equations

Quadratic Find the real roots of quadratic equations

PlotXY Plot cross section diagram

ELASTIC() is a User Defined Function (UDF) that carries out elastic analysis of reinforced or prestressed concrete sections,
assuming zero tensile strength for the concrete, and linear elastic properties for the reinforcement and concrete in compression

Details of the analysis are provided in the file: DepthNA.pdf, which may be downloaded from:
http://newtonexcelbach.wordpress.com/

Parameters:
Conc A 6 column range with concrete cross section details
Reo A 6 column range with reinforcement and prestress details
Momin The applied bending moment
Axin The applied axial load
Eccentric The eccentricity of the applied load
Out_Index An index number controlling the output data, see example output.
Units 0 for loads and eccentricity in kN and metres, dimensions in mm, stresses in MPa (default), any other number for an
consistent units.

Results are returned as single column arrays, depending on the value of Out_Index.
To access the arrays either:
Enter the function as an array function (press ctrl-shift-enter) after selecting the number of rows of output required.
Or use the INDEX() function to return the required value. For instance to return the stress in the bottom layer of
reinforcement enter:
=INDEX(ELASTIC(Conc, Reo, Momin, Axin, Eccentric, 1),3)
Typical input and output is shown in the following sheets
Notes:
1. The beam section may be made up of any arrangement of rectangular or trapezoidal layers
2. Concrete and reinforcement are defined in layers, starting from the top or compressive face.
3. Sign conventions:
Bending causing compression on the top face is positive.
Compressive axial force is positive.
Eccentricity is the distance of the axial load from the top face, positive upwards.
4. Datum for eccentricity of axial loads
If the eccentricity is omitted or blank the axial load is assumed to be applied at the centroid of the concrete section.
This allows results of frame analysis programs to be entered without adjustment, assuming that the frame elements
have been modelled on the concrete section centroid.
Where specified, the eccentricity is measured from the top face of the concrete. An axial load with a specified
eccentricity of zero will therefore be applied at the top face, and will give different results to the same axial load with
unspecified eccentricity, which will be applied at the concrete centroid.
5. Prestress forces
Prestress forces may either be specified by entering a prestress force per strand for each layer of strand, or by
entering the prestress force and eccentricity as an external force.
Where the area of prestressing strand is included in the reinforcement list, the prestress force should not have elast
losses deducted, since the strain in the strand is accounted for in the analysis.
6. Plotting the cross section
The "Redraw Section" button on the input sheet will draw the concrete section to scale, including passive
reinforcement (in black) and prestressed reinforcement (in red). The concrete compression zone is shaded blue.
Where voids are specified, B1 and B2 are the external concrete dimensions (top and bottom of each layer), and B3
and B4 are the top and bottom width of the void.
The void dimensions are required for plotting purposes only. The same numerical results may be obtained by enter
the width of concrete for each layer, with void dimensions entered as zero or blank.
