Very handy spreadsheet for designing windposts in masonry walls: single leaf and cavity walls. Windpost can be an Angle or a Channel section. The spreadsheet covers simply supported as well as cantilevering windposts (e.g. in parapets). Includes brick ties design. Easy input and clear output with a 'live' section diagram for quicker appreciation. Very useful spreadsheet for engineers working with masonry buildings.
This spreadsheet was specially developed for Windows and Mac users.
- A clear and easy to read output (all on a single page);
- Quick summary of results; - Simply supported and cantilever windposts; - Channel and Angle section windposts; - For rolled steel; - 304L, 316L austenitic stainless steel and 'user defined' steel grades; - Brick tie design (ties in shear for angle windposts, and in compression/tension for channel section); - Live section diagram; - Checks section class, bending and deflection; - Design is based on British Standard (BS 5950:1 2000).
