Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I created an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the loading forces on the load-bearing elements of temporary ground anchors used in the KTB ground anchor method.

Actually, there used to be a tension plan attached here, but I deleted it for now because I wasn't sure if anyone would even want it lol.

I haven't set any protection on it, but please take a look.

Also, please let me know if there are any mistakes. (Relying on others)

Of course, I know it would be more efficient to do this kind of thing using commercial software.

But I just don't want to submit paperwork that's exactly the same as every other company's, lol.

If I do it like this, it'll look even better~

It'd look a little cooler if I put a picture here~

That's what I want to do.

That's why Excel...

 

I'm the type who likes to make everything myself.

I really want to go all out when it comes to organizing my paperwork, lol.

From an outsider's perspective, it seems like a waste of time, and you might wonder, "How much time are they spending just on that?!"

When I was working as a salaryman, I spent all my free time on Excel.

I used to do this using VBA (macros), but lately I've been using formulas instead.

I was thinking it might be a good idea to make it so anyone can tweak it.

The Excel documents we're creating aren't anything special, so I think we should make them publicly available so everyone can modify and use them.

Plus, by creating it in Excel, you can gain a thorough understanding of the process—including the calculations—so you can do them yourself.

You'll understand why the calculation is done this way.

Even a company like ours doesn't want to be outdone by the big players when it comes to on-the-job experience and knowledge, lol.

You need to have at least one area where you think you have the edge!

It's just that, in my case, after using that document a few times, I start to get bored with it...

 

See you later.
