COLD-FORMED HOLLOW SECTIONS S275 -


There are no capacity tables given for cold-formed hollow sections in S275,because
normally cold-formed hollow sections are available in S235 and S355 only. However, no
capacity tables are given for S235 either, because sections available may not be
manufactured to BS EN 10219-2:1997.

S355 capacity tables are given for cold-formed hollow sections in part D. However, to
maintain consistent page numbering between S275 capacity tables and S355 capacity
tables, pages C - 18 to C - 28 are not given here.

COLD-FORMED HOLLOW SECTIONS S275 -


There are no capacity tables given for cold-formed hollow sections in S275, because
normally cold-formed hollow sections are available in S235 and S355 only. However, no
capacity tables are given for S235 either, because sections available may not be
manufactured to BS EN 10219-2: 1997.
Licensed copy:wafairhurst, W A FAIRHURST & PARTNERS, 08/05/2006, Uncontrolled Copy, © SCI

S355 capacity tables are given for cold-formed hollow sections in part D. However, to
maintain consistent page numbering between S275 capacity tables and S355 capacity
tables, pages C - 69 to C - 75 are not given here.

Web bearing capacity, P,., = C1 + bl C2
Web buckling resistance, P, = K (C4 P,JO.'
For Continuous over bearing: K = 1.O
For End bearing: K = Min. ( ( % / 1.4d) +0.5, 1.0)
Where bl is the stiff bearing length and a, is the distance from the load or reaction to the nearer end of the member.

COLD-FORMED HOLLOW SECTIONS S275 -


There are no capacity tables given for cold-formed hollow sections in S275,because
normally cold-formed hollow sections are available in S235 and S355 only. However, no
capacity tables are given for S235 either, because sections available may not be
manufactured to BS EN 10219-2:1997.
Licensed copy:wafairhurst, W A FAIRHURST & PARTNERS, 08/05/2006, Uncontrolled Copy, © SCI

S355 capacity tables are given for cold-formed hollow sections in part D. However, to
maintain consistent page numbering between S275 capacity tables and S355 capacity
tables, pages C - 89 to C - 95 are not given here.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact FIP, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given FIP, limit. For higher values of FIP, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes

Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given FIP, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

* The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact F/P, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact FIP, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact F/P, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.

F = Factored axial load.


$ For these values of FIP, the section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the
local buckling resistance of the section.
- Not applicable for semi-compact and slender sections.
The values in this table are conservative for tension as the more onerous compression section classification limits have been used.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact F/P, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
Mbis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = u . ~ . L ~ / r , . ~ ~ ' ~
Mbsis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = 0.5 Ur,. Effective length LE = L.

F = Factored axial load.


$ For these values of FIP, the section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the
local buckling resistance of the section.
The values in this table are conservative for tension as the more onerous compression section classification limits have been used.

The section can become slender under axial compression only. Under combined axial compression and bending the section becomes
slender when the semi-compact FIP, limit is exceeded.
Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given FIP, limit. For higher values of FIP, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = u.v.~~/r,.p$~
Mbsis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = 0.5 Ur,. Effective length LE= L.

Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of FIP, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
Mbis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = u . ~ . L ~ / r ~ p $ ~
Mbsis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = 0.5 Ur,. Effective length LE = L.

Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
Mbvalues in italic type are governed by 1 . 2 ~ and
7 a higher value may be used in some circumstances.
Mbsshould be taken as equal to Mb.

There are no capacity tables given for cold-formed hollow sections in S275, because
normally cold-formed hollow sections are available in S235 and S355 only. No capacity
tables are given for S235 either, because sections available may not be manufactured to

Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given F/P, limit. For higher values of FIP, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
Mb is obtained using an equivalent slenderness = ~.v.L,/r,.~~.~
Mbsis obtained using an equivalent slenderness = 0.5 Ur,. Effective length LE= L.

Under combined axial compression and bending the capacities are only valid up to the given FIP, limit. For higher values of F/P, the
section would be overloaded due to F alone even when M is zero, because F would exceed the local buckling resistance of the section.
