Steel structures have been increasingly recommended and common in the construction
industry due to its features and advantages. One of the advantages is the provision for
larger clear span as the strength is higher than concrete and therefore more flexibility
with the designing of the structural layouts. Besides, steel structures cuts down the
amount of time required for construction due to its fast production and erection from the
factory and on to site. This in turn reduces the amount of time for completion for
construction, allowing the structure to have a faster completion for projects. Steel,
providing high sustainability criteria, enable the material to be reused when demolished.
With the increasing use of steel structures, hand calculations are commonly used to
analyze and check the adequacy and the efficiency of the joint connections. However, it
can be uneconomic and time consuming when there is more than one joint connection to
design. Therefore, with the aid of CHS spreadsheet, designing and analyzing of the joint
connections would be much faster, efficient and eliminates the possibility of calculation
errors by hand calculation. The aim of this project is to develop a user-friendly
spreadsheet for analyzing of welded circular hollow section connections, to assist the
user in achieving the required end result for evaluations quickly. |
