10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

The options for pinned values in a and ωwd,require apply as before and are obviously uniform for poles and walls. If the side fields of the efficiency factor 'a' and/or the tightening factor 'ωwd,required' remain zero, the program shall take into account the value of the factor 'a' depending on the arrangement of the fasteners and for 'ωwd,required'. the limit of the regulation. Otherwise, the check shall take into account the values you type. Finally, it is recalled that for the columns the bracing is done their critical areas (at their ends) and for the walls along their entire length (within the critical height of the building). By default in the parameters you will find: For EC scenario: Containment in Pillars and Vessels where required by regulation For EAK-EKOS scenario: Clamping on Pillars everywhere (user checks the necessity) and Vessels where required by the regulation. IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS ON THE CIRCUMVENTION: With regard to the calculation of the wall edge restraint fasteners at their critical height, the procedure based on EC8-1 was incorporated in the latest internal version. The following applies to the initial dimensioning of the wall: • It is mandatory to check for tightening at its critical length except in case νd is less than 0.15 (for DCM only) and except in case the result is negative. • The calculation of the required curvature flexibility mf is done with torque design and a corresponding moment of resistance at the foot of the wall (i.e. where is founded, where it ends). The calculation is done for the maximum ratio of all combinations (as required by the Eurocode). Obviously this ratio corresponds to a combination, but this does not mean that, in order to calculate the final Wwdreq, you should take into account in the calculation formula, the νd corresponding to this axial. So in the program we find the mf based on the maximum ratio and then for the calculation of Wwdreq, we take into account this mf and the worst νd (which may possibly result from another combination). • The number of connector segments taken into account by the program in the initial test in shear and tension is always n=2 (worst case) for both addresses.
