This Excel Workbook can be used to calculate the Torsional Stresses in Steel Memb
having one of the following Load and/or End Support Conditions :
The user needs to select the steel section (either a Rolled W-Shape or a Built-Up I Section).
For the Rolled shape, the excel sheet will automatically lists the section properties. While for the Built-Up section, the user have
The user is then required to input the value(s) of the applied Torsional Moment(s) and their Locations (measured from the left e
Also, it will be required to input the distance to the point where the user wants to calculate the Torsional Stresses in the Beam (
The resulting torsional stresses include: The Torsional Direct Shear Stress, The Warping Shea
and the torsional rotation of the beam, all calculated at the point where the user has chosen.
These stresses can be due to either Service or Ultimate loads. However, the rotation should only be due to Service Loads
In addition to the above results, the maximum of these stresses and the rotation as well as the location of each of these maxim
Feedback: The current edition of this excel workbook deals with ONLY cases 3, 4, 6 and 7 of design g
Hopefully, in the near future, I will update the workbook to include the remaining cases in the design guide as well as to include
I will be grateful for any feedback or commnets from users of this workbook. Thank you.
