EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 70 red square which if you click on you will see the ratios resulting from the bending checks of each member. The results of the buckling tests can be summarized by clicking on "Buckling Layer Investigation" or in detail by clicking on "Buckling Layer Investigation". The files displayed are also the ones generated by the program to create the calculation issue. The same applies to the functionality checks. 6.3.2.1 Consolidation of Members In the new version of the program a new group of commands has been added which concerns the consolidation of metallic members for the calculation and display of bending and deformation checks based on EC3. (See User Manual § 10.c Sizing). IMPORTANT NOTES: With the use of this tool, it is now possible for the designer to correctly define the initial length of the member per direction to be taken into account in the checks of bending. Now with the use of the consolidation by direction, the process of the rates will not be needed, but the consolidation will be done, in most cases automatically. It should also be noted that with the consolidation process the bending length is correctly calculated and in the printing of the results a consolidated member is now printed once with an indication of the individual members it includes. Basic concepts of buckling about strong and weak axes and what the corresponding buckling lengths ly and lz mean can be found in chap. Sizing of the user manual. NOTE As a general rule, we could say that, we obtain unified length Ly in the direction where the local y-y axis is parallel to the supporting elements - This determination was previously made using the known rates:
