Masonry Spreadsheets
Spreadsheet for assessing masonry wall under beam or lintel and for designing concrete padstone if masonry is not adequate on its own. Beam or lintel can span parallel or perpendicular to wall and can be eccentric. Covered load cases are reaction from beam/lintel and distributed load on wall.

Spreadsheet for designing unreinforced masonry columns and piers subject to axial/eccentric vertical load. Columns are assumed to be held in position at both ends, but not restrained in direction.

Spreadsheet for designing masonry freestanding walls. But most importantly it addresses the common challenge of providing a detailed and robust enough specification for freestanding masonry walls. It was designed to generate a full specification quickly and easily, even by an inexperienced specifier. Printout can be sent directly to site/Contractor or be used to create a standard detail on a drawing. This spreadsheet is for brickwork and blockwork walls.

Spreadsheet for designing laterally loaded
masonry wall panels. Allows to easily design single leaf masonry and
cavity walls under wind load. For design of reinforced and unreinforced
masonry: blockwork, brickwork and Porotherm.

Spreadsheet for designing laterally and/or vertically loaded masonry wall panels. Allows
to easily design reinforced/unreinforced single leaf and cavity walls
under wind load and/or vertical permanent and variable actions (allows
input of user specified eccentricities). For blockwork, brickwork and
stone.

Spreadsheet for designing Wi System elements. It is a unique system for providing structural support to laterally loaded masonry panels. It consists of masonry Wi Columns and Beams which incorporate integrally reinforced concrete infill within the hollow or trough shaped block units. This solution improves performance and aesthetics whilst providing uninterrupted homogeneous masonry panels. As a result steel/concrete windposts and lintels can be avoided.
