P V Supreetha, Y R Suresh


Steel structures are arrangements of group of elements which are designed and to transfer force safely.Indian steel code IS 800-2007 has been used to design the steel elements.Limit State Method has been involved in design methodology.This process consists of number of equations and parameters ,which will result in complex and tedious design process.Design being trail and error process, the problems are repetitive in nature. Hence the method of adoption of excel spread sheet can reduce time and effort of engineer and designer considerably. Because of easy access ,spreadsheet is the best selection for designer,despite the availability of numerous design softwares course. Engineers can conveniently use the design tool to check the design stage of structural steel elements and to maintain balance between safety and economy.
