SUMMARY
MMAX = 500 kNm < McRdM0 OK!
< MbRdM0 OK!
V = 0.00 kN < Vpl,RdM0 OK!
STRENGTH CLASSIFICATION
Flange Thickness tf = 19.7 mm
Therefore, yield strength fy = 345 N/mm²
Contract No. : 42A REVISION No: 1
The design moment resistance of the cross section for other material factors can be calculated from
Mc,RdM0 = Mc,Rd x gM0EC3 / gM0 = 1378.20 kNm
SHEAR
Refer to BS EN 1993-1-1: 2005 - CLAUSE 6.2.6
The shear area Av may be taken as follow
Rolled I sections, load parallel to web,
Av1 = A-2btf + (tw + 2r)tf = 7873.4 mm²
Av2 = hhwtw ; h = 1.0 (Conservative) = 6761.4 mm²
Vpl,Rd = Av (fy / 30.5)/gM0 = 1568.3 kN
The design shear resistance of the cross section for other material factors can be calculated from
Vpl,RdM0 = Vpl,Rd x gM0EC3 / gM0 = 1363.7 kN
Mcr = C1[p² EIz / (kL)²] * { [(k / kw)² (Iw / Iz) + (kL)²GIt / p²EIz + (C2zg)²]0.5 - C2zg }
(k/kw)² x Iw / Iz = 0.0878 m²
p² EIz = 1.93E+05 kNm²
GIt / p²EIz = 8.40E-04
C2zg = 0.000
Mcr = 4342.23 kNm
In the expression of Mcr, the following assumption should be considered:-
kw = 1 since there is no device to prevent the warping at the ends of the beam
Refer to BS EN 1993-1-1: 2005 - Clause 6.3.2.3 Lateral Torsional Buckling Curves - Rolled Sections
cLT = 1 / [ΦLT + (Φ²LT - l²LT)0.5 ] = 0.883
but cLT < 1 ; cLT < 1/lLT²
==> For taking into account the moment distribution between the lateral restraints of members the reduction
factor cLT may be modified as follows:-
cLTmod = cLT / f < 1.0 = 0.909
f = 1 - 0.5(1-kc) [ 1 - 2.0 (lLT - 0.8)² ] but f < 1.0 = 0.972
Mb,Rd = cLTmod x Wyfy/gM1 = 1440.07 kNm
To fullfill project requirement, the design moment resistance of the cross section for other material factor
can be calculated from
Mb,RdM0 = Mb,Rd x gM1EC3 / gM0 = 1252.23 kNm
