The spreadsheets are developed by a consulting structural engineer with over 40 years of experience in Blast Design and programming.
The software is used in Blast Design, i.e. the dynamic structural design and analysis of structures subject to explosion load.
Free trial.
The software is intended for the design of beams and slabs subject to a dynamic blast load, and allows for easy determination of the response of the actual element i.e. deflection and reactions.
Structural steel and reinforced concrete elements may be analysed using imperial or metric units.
It is the simplest and most powerful design tool of this kind available at a very low cost.
HELP is available by email for paying customers.
This software replaces the earlier version: SDOFpro.
It has the same features as SDOF, except it is designed to analyse up to 5 different linked members for a given blast load.
It is developed for the design professional, who realizes that the capacity to perform Blast Design effectively for large projects shall provide a huge competitive edge in the market place.
It is a large program making use of large hidden files, that collect the reaction data, and develop the subsequent load data for the supporting member in 2 cases.
Case A: The blast wave travels across the beam. Case B: The blast wave travels along the beam. The algorithm used to perform this conversion is comprehensive, yet based upon simple structural design principles.
This software links a spreadsheet that determines the properties of a 2-way isotropic slab (top and bottom reinforcing may be different) with the special 2-way slab SDOF analysis spreadsheet
This tool incorporates the elastic and plastic (Yield Line Theory) responses in the determination of the dynamic design parameters using unique engineering principles, allowing for the design of 2-way slabs with variable support conditions (9 different combinations of fixity) and rectangular shape up to 1:2.
The software package consists of 2 linked spreadsheets: 1) Rc2-way14.ods and 2) SDOF 2-way Slab.ods
Leakage Pressure
Determine the internal pressure history of a hemetically sealed (compartment of) building, due to openings in the building envelope.
The software is intended for the design of structural steel beams and cladding subject to a dynamic blast load, and allows for easy determination of the dynamic resistance (actual and bi-linear), and the natural period of vibration.
Imperial or metric units are allowed.

The software is intended for the design of buildings subject to a dynamic blast load from a (equivalent) TNT charge, and allows for easy determination of the load history data. Imperial or metric units are allowed.

The software is intended for the design of buildings subject to a dynamic blast load from a VCE, and allows for easy determination of the load history data. The methodology conservatively accepts that a VCE is likely to develop into a detonation due to acceleration of the flame speed, from congestion and confinement, or the "shock-up" effect. Reflection from "hard" surfaces may be considered.
Graph showing positive overpressure and impulse vs. separation distance is included (may be useful for risk analysis).
Imperial or metric units are allowed.

The software is intended for the design of buildings subject to a dynamic blast load (explosion, deflagration).
The uniform distributed load (UDL) on an element spanning in the direction of the blast front velocity is determined for input in the SDOF analysis.
The Hopkins-Krantz scaling load may be employed for detonations. Conservativey ignore this effect by choosing separatioin distance = 0.
Imperial or metric units are allowed.
