"Excellent spreadsheet for deriving the section properties of a plate girder"
 
   Dear Folks, just recently I found an excellent Excel
spreadsheet, for deriving the section properties for
a plate girder beam. You can find it at :-
http://www.engineeringspreadsheets.co.uk

Go to the Steel section, on the left menu, and download.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a good spreadsheet,
for steel column design, to the AISC code ?

   Have tried the spreadsheets on built up beams cross sections. My conclusion is the spreadsheets did not give the results we required as the sections had two materials and the top slab of the section was voided. In the end I downloaded and purchased ($70) a section property calculator which did what I required - calculation of the transformed material properties and the plastic modulus of the section. I found this software to be excellent as it will determine the properties of any section you draw or import from CAD.
