Sorry for the mistake in posting. This is my first post. Actually quite nervous coz there seems to be a lot of rules on posting and warnings of getting banned.
Am I doing it the right way?

Hi Derwin, Your spreadsheets is so helpful! I have not gone through it entirely but happened to make an observation.
Suppose we consider as per defaults in the spreadsheet,that is ly/lx=1.6, and this is for panel type 9. The BS code allows for interpolation and i would think that the coefficient for the above(shorter span) would lie in between 0.092( for ly/lx=1.5) and 0.103(for ly/lx=1.75), say taking up a value of 0.0964 to be exact, and not 0.103 as per the spreadsheet. Did you take this into consideration and opted for the higher side without interpolation, thus being conservative?
dear derwin,
i agree with hmwere. you should interpolate the coefficients as i did in my excel sheet of two way slabs. but my sheet is based on ACI moment coefficients but i did the interpolation. for your help here is the link
