EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 64 In earlier versions of SCADA Pro and before the creation of the command , the user was asked to set the length of the member and the bending length in both the Y and Z directions respectively, following the procedure below: In " Length of Membership ": - if you select " Actual " you must enter in the field the actual length of the member in m. - if you select " Coefficient " you must enter a coefficient by which the different lengths of the members belonging to this parameter group will be multiplied. If you want the program to take the actual lengths of the members into account when checking the bending bend, select "Coefficient" with a value of 1. If you have some members with different or equal lengths that are laterally secured at the same distances (e.g. at 1/3), then you give the value 0.33 and of course create a separate parameter group to which these members belong. The next parameter is the member's buckling length which depends on the support conditions of the nodes of the member ends always within the buckling plane. OBSERVATION If there has been a Consolidation, then the Bending Length refers to the Consolidated Member. From the " Bend lengths " field you can select the support conditions of the member via the icons. Depending on these, the program calculates a coefficient, e.g. for a double-jointedmember = 1.0. Here you select 1,0 in both directions. Then click on the side bend field to have the program perform the corresponding check. Here you need to describe the " Edge Binding " , the " member loading " form by y and z, and the " loading level " . For a detailed explanation of the icons please refer to the corresponding paragraph of the Manual Chapter 10c Sizing. Also, to perform the functionality check and torsional bending, click on the respective fields. The parameters for torsional flexure are the same as those you gave flexural flexure.
