member in compression (I or H)

Ned = 742.6 kn γm0 = 1 γm1 = 1

fy = 275 mpa ε= 0.92
E= 210 Gpa LE = 9 m

preminilary designe (cross section resistance)-assuming class 1 , 2 or 3 cross section:

A>= 27.00 cm2

it is expected that buckling resistance will govern the member design, a HEA 160 in S 275 steel is proposed
(class 1 in pure compression), with the following properties:

A= 38.77 cm2 Iy = 1673 cm4 r= 15

b= 160 mm Iz = 615.6 cm4
h= 152 mm iy = 6.57 cm
tf = 9 mm iz = 3.98 cm
tw = 6 mm c web = 104 mm

verfication of cross section classification :

For the proposed sections S 275 steel, in compression:

is section angle or tabular section ? No

internal comperssion parts (H & I):

c/t = 17.33 Class 1

outstand comperssion parts (H & I):

c/t = 6.89 Class 1

the secion is Class 1 ok
Verification of the buckling resistance (FOR CLASS 1,2 OR 3) :

λ1 = 86.80
λz = 2.605
λy = 1.578
Determation of Buckling Curve (buckling about axis y-y) :

h/b = 0.95
h/b > 1.2 No Buckling curve is NA
imperfection factor α = 0.34
h/b<=1.2 yes Buckling curve is b

Determation of Buckling Curve (buckling about axis z-z) :

h/b = 0.95
h/b > 1.2 No Buckling curve is NA
imperfection factor α = 0.49
h/b<=1.2 yes Buckling curve is c

Calculate фy & фz :

фy = 1.980
фz = 4.483

Determination of reduction factor ꭓ :

ꭓy = 0.315
ꭓfinal = 0.123
ꭓz = 0.123

Buckling resistance force :

Nb,Rd = 131.13 kn section is Not ok
