Fundamentals of Shed Design Pt#1
The fundamental tasks for structural design of just about any building structure can be classified as follows:

Technical Function Library
This is a library of functions for calculations to various Australian structural standards including:
It also contains a lot of experimental litter. It is an absolute necessity for using all my other spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are useful, but I find vba code more reliable and easier to read when it come to conditional tests, branching, and looping. Spreadsheets are not very reliable when it comes to tabulated calculations nor efficient. In a database management system an equation is defined once for a group of records and then progressively executed on each record. In a spreadsheet the equations have to be defined for each and every record (row) of the spreadsheet and that leads to potential error. It is also easier to expend an array in vba than it is to add extra rows to tables and mesh several tables together. Even if using tables of calculations in a spreadsheet it is easier to call vba functions to achieve greater consistency for each cell calculated, and too hide lots of complex conditional tests behind the scenes. Each different audience and purpose for calculations requires a different presentation, having vba functions provides greater flexibility compared to merely replicating hand written calcs in a worksheet.

Wind Loading
This is an example of wind loading calculations to Australian and New Zealand wind loading code (AS/NZS 1170.2)
This is an MS Excel spreadsheet which can be used to produce similar calculations. Users will need to be familiar with AS/NZS 1170.2 to be able to use it.

The spreadsheet is also dependent on schTechLIB and AS4055. However AS4055 is optional if do not need the equivalent simplified wind classifications for the wind speed and wind pressure as calculated to AS1170.2.
