10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

EXAMPLE: The above beam is checked for the 3 combinations of functionality (100, 101, 102) and the value Du1 is the maximum deformation of the element as obtained from the calculation of its elastic line. The magnitude Du2 is the deformation as calculated based on relation 7.18 of EC2. The sum (Du1+Du2) is then calculated and entered and in the fourth column is the upper limit l/a. It must be (Du1+Du2)< l/a , so that there is no problem. 1.3.3.6 Pedestals Activate "Check" , which concerns the calculation of the limit load of the footings of a foundation, to activate the "Data" command, which is only filled in if you have a soil engineering study, and not arbitrarily. The calculation of the limiting load of the Pedestal is performed according to the general Terzaghi formula divided by the safety factor of the Pedestal parameter table which is recommended to be not less than 3. The calculation of the limiting load of the Pedestal is performed according to the selected Calculation Method according to EC7.
