Software Steel Member Design para Eurocódigo 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005)

Among the many design standards SkyCiv offers is Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005), Projeto de estruturas de aço. The module checks hot-rolled and welded steel members to the Ultimate Limit State, with a deflection check for the Serviceability Limit State. It runs in SkyCiv Structural 3D, where it reads the members, seções, materiais, forces and load combinations of your model.

Com este módulo você pode:

  • Design I-shapes, Formas de T, ângulos, channels and hollow sections (RHS, SHS and CHS)
  • Classify the cross-section (Aula 1, 2, 3 ou 4) for each load combination and limit state, with effective properties for Class 4 seções
  • Check the resistance of cross-sections to tension, compressão, bending about both axes and shear, including the reduction of the yield strength for high shear
  • Check the combined resistance of cross-sections (bending and axial force)
  • Check the buckling resistance of members: flexível, torsional and torsional-flexural buckling in compression, lateral-torsional buckling in bending, and combined bending and axial compression with the interaction factors of Annex A or Annex B
  • Split each member into lateral-torsional buckling segments, with C1 calculated from the bending moment diagram or entered by you
  • Optionally check torsion (basic stress check) for I-shapes and rectangular hollow sections
  • Check the slenderness ratio (KL/r) against limits for compression and tension, optionally shown in the detailed report
  • Check deflections against a span/deflection limit
  • View the design ratios on the 3D model
  • Export detailed step-by-step reports and a summary report, as HTML or PDF (Logotipo personalizado em Empreendimento)
  • Execute o SkyCiv Designer (Executar designer) para encontrar a seção mais eficiente
  • Totalmente verificado com resultados de terceiros

Suporte à versão atual

Seções

  • I-Beam (I-shapes and H-shapes, hot-rolled or welded)
  • T-Beam
  • Ângulo
  • o canal
  • Retangular oco (RHS and SHS)
  • Circular Oco (CHS)

The material must be steel. A Class 4 circular hollow section is outside the scope of the module and stops the check with an error message.

Unidades

The module only works in Métrica unidades. No modelo, abrir Configurações (barra superior) > Unidades e configure o sistema de unidades para Métrica.

Design in SkyCiv Structural 3D

Este módulo está totalmente integrado com nosso poderoso software de análise estrutural que permite aos engenheiros modelar, analisar e projetar com um modelo. Com um único clique, the software pulls your entire model and checks each member against the criteria of the Standard to determine whether or not it passes the requirements of these European Standards. Cargas, members and design parameters are imported automatically, including the load combinations from EN 1990.

Their ratios to the limits are shown on the 3D model (por exemplo 0.797 Sl) E no Resumo relatório.

Each check gives the load combination and station that govern it, and the section classification table for that limit state: the class of each element (rede, flanges) for the axial force and for bending about each axis, with the governing class highlighted. For a Class 4 seção, the effective properties are used. When the shear force is high (6.2.8), the reduced yield strength is used for the resistances.

The lateral-torsional buckling check is calculated for the segment where the governing station is, with its LC3.1.2.1-9 e C1. When C1 é auto, it is calculated from the moments along the segment with the formula proposed by Serna et al. (2006). The report then gives MC3.1.2.1-9, the non-dimensional slenderness, the buckling curve and the reduction factor χLT.

The deflection check is performed when the model has serviceability load combinations and DefL é melhor que 0. Otherwise the report says that the deflection check was skipped.

Ele lista os detalhes do projeto (código de design, user name and unit system), the design factors, os materiais, the section dimensions and properties, the properties of each member (buckling lengths, LC3.1.2.1-9, C1, Cm factors and limits), the results of all the members and the definitions of the symbols.

Verificações realizadas

Here are the details of some of the checks performed by the module.

Slenderness Ratio Check

Each member is checked against the slenderness limits entered in the Membros aba: SRC for members in compression (200 por padrão) e SRT for members in tension or without axial force (300 por padrão). The slenderness is calculated about both axes from the effective length and the radius of gyration about the same axis:

  • λz = KzLz / Iz about the major axis, with iz = √(Iz / A)
  • λY = KYLY / IY about the minor axis, with iY = √(IY / A)

The governing slenderness λ = max(λz, λY) is divided by the limit, and the member passes when this ratio is 1.0 ou menos. The slenderness check is listed in the Sl column of the Results tab.

To show this check in the detailed report of each member, open the settings (the gear button next to Verificar) and tick Show slenderness check in the report. It’s off by default.

Member Design Settings dialog with the "Show slenderness check in the report" option ticked, above the Close and Save buttons

The report then has a Check Slenderness Ratio section after the buckling check, with the radii of gyration, the slenderness about each axis, the governing slenderness and its ratio to the compression and/or tension limit, with a PASS or FAIL status.
