EC3 Calculations V0001

This document is a calculation workbook that assesses a hollow circular steel section under load according to Eurocode 3 (EC3) standards. It calculates section properties, material properties, demand-to-capacity ratios for several load cases including axial force, bending stress, axial and bending stress, and buckling. Ratios are reported for axial force, bending stress, axial and bending stress, and several buckling cases, with all ratios being less than 1 and therefore meeting the EC3 requirements.
