ACI 318

RC design sheets for ACI 318-19.

Excel design sheets for beams, columns, slabs and footings, built directly to ACI 318-19 — with every check traceable back to the section it comes from.

What's checked

The same element set, rebuilt from the ground up for ACI's strength reduction factors, load combinations and reinforcement limits — not a Eurocode sheet with the units swapped. φ is never assumed: each sheet computes the net tensile strain and interpolates φ through the transition zone.

  • Flexural design & φMn §22.3
  • Shear design & φVn §22.5
  • Deflection & span/depth limits §24.2
  • Minimum & max reinforcement §9.6, §10.6
  • Column interaction (P–M) §22.4
  • Two-way slab punching shear §22.6

Built to the parts of 318-19 that changed. Where a member carries no shear reinforcement — slabs and footings — ACI 318-19 replaced the familiar 2√f'c with an equation that depends on the reinforcement ratio and carries the size effect factor λs. These sheets apply the current rule, so they will flag a footing that a pre-2019 calculation would have passed.

ACI 318-19 singly reinforced beam design sheet, showing section geometry, cover, design material properties and the flexure check with ACI section references.
Beam — flexure, shear, deflection and crack control, with the section beside every line.
ACI 318-19 braced column design sheet with the moment magnifier of 6.6.4 and a plotted P–M interaction diagram.
Column — moment magnifier to 6.6.4, with a P–M interaction diagram plotted from the section itself.
ACI 318-19 solid slab design sheet covering one-way slabs and two-way flat plates by the Direct Design Method.
Slab — one-way, or two-way by the Direct Design Method of 8.10, plus punching shear.
ACI 318-19 isolated pad footing design sheet with bearing pressure, punching shear and the 318-19 one-way shear equation.
Pad footing — bearing, punching, and the 318-19 one-way shear rule that catches thin footings.
