DESIGN PROBLEM #1
Develop an EXCEL spread sheet that will calculate the following for a rectangular, reinforced
concrete beam:
The spread sheet must be completely general, accepting the following inputs:
• Provide a header with student name, course number and title, and problem name.
• The spread sheet must be carefully organized and formatted so that it fits on one page.
• Input cells must be at the top of the spread sheet and clearly identified.
• Units of all inputs and outputs must be clearly indicated for each cell.
• No more than 3 significant figures may appear in any cell.
Submissions are to be both electronic and paper. The electronic copy must be submitted to the
grader via email. The grader will evaluate the spread sheet with a test beam to determine
correctness.
Submissions are to be an individual effort and cannot be a copy of another student’s spreadsheet.
