Welcome Spreadsheets for RC Design

to to BS 8110 and EC2

Limitations & Assumptions

Spreadsheets can be a very powerful tool. Their use will become increasingly common in the preparation
of design calculations. They can save time, money and effort. They provide the facility to optimise designs
and they can help instill experience. However, these benefits have to be weighed against the risks
associated with any endeavour. These risks must be recognised and managed. In other words appropriate
levels of supervision and checking, including self-checking, must, as always, be exercised when using
these spreadsheets.

Users are directed to the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Structural Safety (SCOSS)
regarding the increasingly widespread availability of computer programs and circumstances in which their
misuse could lead to unsafe structures.

These spreadsheets should be used in compliance with the accompanying publication 'Spreadsheets for
concrete design to BS 8110 and EC2' plus any current supplement, available from the Concrete
Bookshop: www.concretebookshop.com, email enquiries@concretebookshop.com, tel 01344-725704.
