Reinforced Concrete Design & Analysis Notes and Spreadsheet

This guide covers the essential knowledge that civil structural engineers must know about the design of singly reinforced rectangular concrete beams and slabs. The accompanying Excel spreadsheet is a powerful tool that allows you to quickly analyse and design any singly reinforced rectangular concrete beam or slab.

Both of these resources refer to AS3600 Concrete Structures, the Australian Standard which outlines the requirements for design of reinforced concrete structures in Australia. While this guide is tailored to AS3600, the general principles, design methodology and resources, are applicable anywhere. Also, please note that this 34 page guide and Excel spreadsheet both utilise the metric system where units are required.
