Engineering Calculation Template

Manual

INTRODUCTION
1. This template provides necessary macros to build up engineering calculations for
quick re-calc and clear presentation.
2. Key functions:
- set up formulae
- page setup

HOW TO USE
[0] Save this file first with another appropriate name. Ensure this file is put in the same
directory as your newly saved file.
[1] Use the styles as in sheet 'sample' to fill in title, logo, etc.
[2] Define variables, equations, units. Make sure not to use cell locations as variable names!
[3] Use macro 'formatted' to calculate the defined formulae. Bring up a list of macro
by ALT-F8.

CALCULATIONS

Establish Class of Loading

eqivalent eccentricity e = Mf/Cf*1000 = 337.8 mm

minimum pressure p(min) = Cf/B/D*1000-Mf*(1000^2)/(1/6*B*D^2) = -0.9 Mpa
maximum pressure p(max) = Cf/B/D*1000+Mf*(1000^2)/(1/6*B*D^2) = 1.4 Mpa

IF(Mf=0,"Class I Loading",IF(p(min)>0,"Class II

Class I Loading (Axial Load, No Moment)

cantilever parallel to D m = 1/2*(D-0.95*d) = 177 mm

cantilever parallel to B n = 1/2*(B-0.8*b) = 184 mm

bearing pressure on base plate p = Cf/B/D*1000 = 0.2 Mpa

thickness required for m cantilever tm = (2*p*(m^2)/phi_s/fy)^.5 = 8 mm
