This Statics For Real Structures spreadsheet from 3D-LABS follows IS code and gives instant, checkable results for practising engineers — no manual derivation required.
Statics for Real Structures — From Free Body to Foundation covers structural statics from first principles — free body diagrams, equilibrium, support reactions, shear and moment diagrams, trusses, and centroids — applied to real structures with IS 875 dead and live loads, IS 800, and IS 456 references. Written for civil and structural engineering students and practising engineers in India.
What standards does this book reference?
IS 875 Part 1:1987 (dead loads for Indian buildings), IS 875 Part 2:1987 (live loads for Indian buildings), IS 800:2007 (structural steel limit state design for worked examples), IS 456:2000 (RCC design for load combination verification), and IS 1905:1987 (unreinforced masonry loads).
What statics equilibrium formulas are covered?
Two-dimensional equilibrium: sum of Fx = 0, sum of Fy = 0, sum of M_O = 0. For simply supported beam with uniform distributed load w (kN/m) and span L (m): reactions RA = RB = wL/2. Maximum bending moment: M_max = wL^2/8 at midspan. Maximum shear: V_max = wL/2 at supports. Shear force diagram: linear from +wL/2 to -wL/2. Bending moment diagram: parabolic from 0 to wL^2/8 to 0.
What Indian loading code values are applied?
IS 875 Part 1 dead loads: RCC slab 25 kN/m3, brick masonry 20 kN/m3, structural steel 78.5 kN/m3, floor finishes 1.0-2.0 kN/m2. IS 875 Part 2 live loads: residential 2.0 kN/m2, office 4.0 kN/m2, assembly halls 5.0 kN/m2, accessible roof 1.5 kN/m2. IS 456:2000 Clause 18.2 load combinations: factored load = 1.5DL + 1.5LL or 1.5DL + 1.05LL + 1.5WL.
