4. DESIGN CHECKS
Vertical shear capacity (cl. 4.2.3)
Vertical shear capacity of beam web; Pvv = 0.6 py tbm Dbm = 1860.1 kN
PASS - Vv <= Pvv - Vertical shear capacity adequate (UF1 = 0.216)
Loadcase 1 - Vv1 <= 0.6Pvv - Beam is in low shear at position of max moment
Loadcase 2 - Vv2 <= 0.6Pvv - Beam is in low shear at position of max moment
Horizontal shear capacity (cl. 4.2.3)
Horizontal shear capacity of beam flange; Pvh = 0.6 py 0.9 Tbm Bbm = 1399.2 kN
PASS - Vh <= Pvh - Horizontal shear capacity adequate (UF2 = 0.019 - low shear)
Vertical bending capacity (cl. 4.2.5)
Vertical bending capacity of beam; Mcxz = 1.2 py Zxxbm = 2095.4 kNm
Mcxs = py Sxxbm = 1983.8 kNm
Mcx = min(Mcxz,Mcxs) = 1983.8 kNm
PASS - Mv1 <= Mcx - Vertical moment capacity adequate (UF3 = 0.170)
Effective length for buckling moment (Table 13)
Length factor for end 1; KL1 = 1.00
Length factor for end 2; KL2 = 1.00
Depth factor for end 1; KD1 = 0.00
Depth factor for end 2; KD2 = 0.00
Effective length; Le = L (KL1 + KL2)/2 + Dbm (KD1 + KD2)/2 = 4400 mm
Lateral torsional buckling capacity (Annex B.2.1, 2.2 & 2.3)
Slenderness ratio; = Le/ryybm = 60.9;
Slenderness factor; v = 1/[1 + 0.05 (/xbm)2]0.25 = 0.918;
Section is class 1 plastic therefore; w = 1.0
Equivalent slenderness; LT = ubm v (w) = 49.5;
Robertson constant; LT = 7.0
Limiting equivalent slenderness; L0 = 0.4 (2 ES5950/py)0.5 = 35.0;
Perry factor; LT = max(LT (LT - L0)/1000,0) = 0.102;
Euler buckling stress; pE = 2 ES5950/LT2 = 825.2 N/mm2
Factor phi; LT = [py + (LT + 1) pE]/2 = 587.2 N/mm2
Bending strength; pb = pE py/[LT + (LT2 - pE py)0.5] = 232.1 N/mm2
Buckling resistance moment; Mb = pb Sxxbm = 1737.4 kNm
Equivalent uniform moment factor; mLT = 1.0
Allowable buckling moment; Mballow = Mb/mLT = 1737.4 kNm
