Beam-column example 2 Rolled Universal Beam Problem

Check the suitability of a 533 x210 x 8 2 U K B in S355 steel for use as a column in a portal frame of clear height 5.6 m if the axial compression is 160kN, the moment at the top of the column is 530kNm and the base is pinned. Bending is about the major axis. The ends o,f the columns are adequately restrained against lateral displacement (i.e. out of plane) and rotation. Use Annex B of BS EN 1993-1-1 to determine the beam-column interaction ,factors.

Check initially over the full column height. Partial factors:

y v ( ,= 1.0; yv, = 1.0

U K N A to BS EN 199.7-1 -1
