Steel Buildings in Europe

Part 8: Design Software – Section Capacity 8 - 4 2.3.3 Create new comparison file This option deletes any existing calculations in the comparison file and adds the most recent values. Therefore when this option is selected, a single calculation will appear in this file. 2.4 Bending Worksheet The following data may be selected: Section type Section data is included for the following section types (profiles):  IPE  HD  HE  HL  UPE Section All the standard sections within each section type are available for selection from the drop-down menu. Beam grade The steel grade for the beams may be selected from the following:  S235  S275  S355  S460 C 1 factor The C 1 factor related to the bending moment diagram may be selected from the following:  1,13  1,21  1,23  1,35  1,49  1,68  Linear A diagram shows which bending moment diagram corresponds to a given C 1 factor. If the option “linear” is selected then two additional input boxes appear where the user must input:  The maximum bending moment  The minimum bending moment
