10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

STYLES_19 ) it is possible to take into account the actual segments per direction. • A key change compared to the calculation of nd in ECOS and EC8-1 is that in EKOS the nd is calculated and relates to the column (axonal reduced to column and area of the column) while in EC8-1 the nd is calculated with the whole axial and the whole cross-section. This also applies to the reduced axial check. It should be noted that with the "whole" axial and area sizes the results are generally more favourable. EXAMPLE: Let's look at an example from which we quote from the Investigation in detail the resulting figures. In the above text, 200 cm is the total dimension of the wall. Then the axial N which is the total, Ac=2x0.4=0.8 m2 (the total cross-section for the calculation of νd), νd which as we said refers to the whole cross-section and the sizes Ao, bo0, bo1, Σbi which refer to the column. The quantities ρv and ωv refer to the mechanical percentage of vertical truss reinforcement. Wwdreq is the size required by equation 5.20 of EC8, while Wwcalc is the realisable size and corresponds to F8/10 (dimensional) and the corresponding volume of the column based on the following formula Wwdcalc As far as the size Vs for the connectors is concerned, the program, always in the initial dimensioning and always for the walls, takes into account the direction perpendicular to the small side of the wall. This is to compensate for the unfavourable effect of the two-part connector, which is taken into account in both directions, whereas in at least one direction a connector with more than two parts is generally obtained. Finally, I emphasize that the segments and Vs only concern Wwdcalc. About the recheck on restraint within the column details and when the same sizes are calculated.
