"BOLTGRP" is an MS Excel Spreadsheet for analysis of bolt groups as per Ultimate Strength Method and Elastic Method according to AISC Manual.

"BEAMTAB" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel beam end  connections using a beam tab (single plate) field bolted to the beam web and shop welded to either the column flange, column web, or girder web. The connections may be subjected to end shear reaction and/or axial load. Specifically, all applicable "limit states" for the end connection analysis pertaining to the beam tab (single plate),  bolts, beam web, and either column flange or web, or girder web are checked.

"BASEPLT9" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel column base plates. Specifically, wide flange column base plates may be subjected to axial loads (compression or tension), with or without major-axis column bending, plus major-axis shear. Base plate bearing pressure is checked as well as bolt tension, if applicable. If shear is present, bolt shear as well as interaction of bolt tension and shear, if applicable, are calculated. Finally, the required base plate thickness is calculated. There is a separate worksheet for base plate shear lug design, when shear load is high and cannot be effectively handled by bolts.

"BEAMCOL9" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis and code checking of  steel beams and columns. Specifically, beams and columns are analyzed / code checked per the AISC 9th  Edition Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Manual. Both actual and allowable stresses are computed, with the final result being a computed "stress ratio" of actual stress/allowable stress. Also, a list of the lightest weight members which satisfy the code check is displayed for convenience.

"BEAMANAL" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of either single-span or continuous-span beams subjected to virtually any type of loading configuration. Four (4) types of single-span beams and two (2) through (5) span, continuous-span beams, considered. Specifically, beam end reactions as well as the maximum moments and deflections are calculated. Plots of both the shear and moment diagrams are produced, as well as a tabulation of the shear, moment, slope, and deflection for the beam or each individual span. Also, for steel single-span beams an AISC 9th Edition (ASD) Code check can be performed for X-axis bending and shear.
