VERIFICATION EXAMPLES FOR SCADA Pro

Software Verification Examples for SCADA Pro 63 Τhe base of the columns is fixed. Self-weight is taken into account (ε s =78.5kN/m 3 ), rafters are subjected to permanent uniformly distributed vertical load of 2.3kN/m (Figure B3.2.2.a) and columns of one side are subjected to variable uniformly distributed horizontal loads at X-axis of 8kN/m and 4kN/m for middle and outside columns (Figure B3.2.2.b), respectively. The participation factor of permanent loads is equal to 1.35 while the corresponding one of the variable load is equal to 1.50 (CombA). Assumptions During analysis, shear deformations are neglected. Section properties are automatically recovered from the cross section library of ScadaPro. Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested  Three – dimensional analysis of beam elements  Verification of steel cross section Results Comparison Αxial forces and Bending Moments along principal axis of cross section and the respectively maximum degree of utilization for cross-section design obtained from ScadaPro analysis, are presented in Tables B3.2.1 & B3.2.3.
