10C. DIMENSIONING PART 3/4

CHAPTER 10C 'DIMENSIONING' 52 with the summary results of the audit of the members. In the first column the number of the member, in the second column its cross-section and in the next 5 columns the worst strength ratio and the number of the combination fromwhich this ratio was derived. Green are ratios below the unit and red are ratios above the unit. Where the words 'not required' are shown, this means that the corresponding intensive magnitude was not available or that the axial force was tensile and not compressive. By selecting the button "Layer Bending" the program displays the summary results of the check in Bending (i.e. for each member the results from the worst combination) while by selecting the button "Investigation Layer Bending" the program displays a complete but very large file with the results of the checks for each member from all combinations. Similar applies to the "Functionality Issue" and "Investigate Layer Functionality" buttons. The check for the three types of buckling is carried out for each member and for all combinations. However, for each combination, i.e. for each triad N, My and Mz the checks are carried out 4 times based on the following combinations: • N with min My and min Mz • N with min My and max Mz • N with max My and Min Mz • N with max My and max Mz That is why both in the results of the issue and in the investigation, two numbers are mentioned in the combination number: The first refers to the number of the combination and the second refers to the number for each of the 4 previous cases.
