Web Bearing and Buckling To BS EN 1993-1: Technical
Web Bearing and Buckling To BS EN 1993-1: Technical
The development of the new Blue Book on member resistances highlighted some new methods. Edurne Nunez
Moreno of the SCI explains the background to two of the issues.

m2 = 0 if lF < 0.5
Example
The following example shows how to calculate the resistance
to transverse forces according to BS EN 1993-1-5

assumed for the calculation of m2 and therefore the alternative
ly3 = le + tf m1 + m2
(6.12) range for lF has to be analysed.
Try with lF > 0.5. Then: As in the previous case the critical force is calculated as
Fcr = 780649 N from the equations in BS EN 1993-1-5.
m1 = 22.2, as per the first calculation lytwfy
ly = 202 mm, therefore λF = = 0.77 > 0.5. This shows

where kF = 6 from Figure 6.1 in BS EN 1993-1-5. χF = 0.5 = 0.5 = 0.65 < 1.0
λF 0.77
Using the expressions for ly given above: Leff = χFly = 0.65 x 202 = 131mm
From equation 6.10: ly1 = 202 mm

From equation 6.11: ly2 = 389 mm ∴Fw,Rd = = x 10-3 = 298kN
γM1 1.0
From equation 6.12: ly3 = 258 mm
The lowest of these three values is used to calculate the value This value compares with 327 kN for web bearing and 202 kN
of lF . for web buckling calculated in accordance to BS5950-1.
