Steel Buildings in Europe

Part 8: Design Software – Section Capacity 8 - 8 2.8 Web resistance (bearing and buckling) 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 Position of the transverse load  d : distance from the end of the load to the member end.  s s : stiff bearing length. The output is the web bearing and buckling resistance, calculated as per EN 1993-1-5, given in kN. The top figure shows a cross-section of the selected section, to scale and the main geometric properties. The bottom figure shows the detail of the transverse load with respect to the end of the member. 2.9 Compare worksheet The compare worksheet will display in a single line the main details of the resistance calculated. This sheet also shows any previously added calculations for any members, so it serves as a summary of all calculations. Additional calculations can be added to this worksheet by selecting the “Add to comparison file” button on any other member resistance worksheets (see section 2.3.2). Note that the compare worksheet is hidden if no details have been added to comparison file.
