[TheNavalArch](http://www.thenavalarch.com) launches the [Stacking Height Calculator (Concrete Coated Pipes)](https://thenavalarch.com/software/marine-transportation/mt-19-stacking-height-calculator-concrete-coated-pipes/)  
This Excel sheet helps you calculate the maximum Stacking height possible for Concrete Coated Steel Pipes when stacked in nested confirguration  
The sheet also checks the strength of the dunnage on which the pipe is resting

**How to use this Excel Sheet**  
The user is asked for some inputs to be provided. These include the Steel, Concrete and Corrosion Coating properties, and also the ground & dunnage properties  
The user has to provide all the inputs highlighted in blue.  
Once the inputs are provided, the app will calculate the stacking height limits for various load cases for Steel and Concrete separately  
The final stacking height is the most conservative value from all load cases

**Limitations**  
It can be used only for nested stacking configuration  
Coating stress is ignored as it is not expected to be the guiding factor
