Features: As a flagship software in spreadsheet applications, Excel has become increasingly mature. Its powerful functions have made it a reliable assistant in the field of office automation. Can such an excellent tool software be applied to the field of construction engineering to serve structural engineers? The answer is affirmative. Excel enables structural engineers to complete complex, calculation-intensive tasks and perform very lengthy computational processes with ease, freeing them from complex mathematical calculations. Excel, as a flagship spreadsheet software, has become increasingly mature. While its powerful functions make it a reliable assistant in the field of office automation, it also provides a means of rapid calculation for structural engineers in construction. This book introduces the powerful functions and usage techniques of Excel as a rapid calculation tool in construction engineering in a visually engaging and practical manner, based on specific application examples. It follows the approach of identifying problems, analyzing cases, and solving them, comprehensively covering the use of Excel in construction. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate, associate degree, graduate students, and participants in Excel training courses, as well as a reference for a wide range of engineering design professionals.
