I compared equations from den Hartog, from Kireev et al, and from B31.3 Table D300.
The agreement was quite good.

ASCE Exact Wind Integration (closed form equations) Jun 2021
I developed a Python function to calculate closed form exact values for wind forces and wind CGs.
I use only calculus — no bar charts with 0′ to 15′, 20′ to 25′, et cetera —- a curve rather than a step function. I present derivations and examples.
PyXLL to Jupyter Interface (with video) Dec 2020
This example is an actual serious structural engineering calculation with graphical documentation.
PyXLL Custom Task Panes in Excel (with automated drawings and video) Nov 2020
The PyXLL/Jupyter interface would be drab without custom menus and graphical feedback.
Multi-Page Apps using Dash/PythonAnywhere Apr 2020
I built these apps on the web — accessible from any device – desktop, phone, iPad

· Coefficient C for Bolt Groups
· WT Strut Capacity (eccentrically loaded)
WT Braces Mar 2020
If you like Table 4-12 in the AISC 15th Edition, then you might like the attached example plots which I built on the same principle.

Single angle braces vs WT braces Feb 2020
Because I prefer the simplicity of using a single angle brace, I prepared a general calculation set demonstrating a few use cases.
