A simple design tool for the calculation of effective section area for class 4 open section using MS-excel

The effective width method suggested in Eurocode 3 part 1-5 is studied and practiced for manual calculation. The effective width method suggested that in order to determine the strength of class 4 cross-section, it is necessary to carry out iterative calculation procedure to obtain the effe...
