II.4. Check of the resistance of the member

1. Combined compression and uniaxial bending
Design bending moment: My,Ed = 460.5 kNm Mz,Ed = 186.0 kNm
Plastic resistance moment: Mpl,y,Rd = 531.5 kNm Mpl,z,Rd = 351.6 kNm
mdy = 1.023 mdz = 1.002
aM,y = 0.9 aM,z = 0.9
Checking for bending about the y-y axis: My,Ed / (aM,y.mdy.Mpl,y,Rd) = 0.94 <1 (6.45)
=> The condition is statisfied
Checking for bending about the z-z axis: Mz,Ed / (aM,z.mdz.Mpl,z,Rd) = 0.59 <1 (6.45)
=> The condition is statisfied
2. Combined compression and biaxial bending
Note: Imperfections should be considered only in the plane which failure is expected to occur. 6.7.3.7(2)
# Case 1: Failure about the y-y axis is assumed (Neglect imperfections about the z-z axis)
Design bending moment: My,Ed = 460.5 kNm Mz,Ed = 52.5 kNm
Plastic resistance moment: Mpl,y,Rd = 531.5 kNm Mpl,z,Rd = 351.6 kNm
mdy = 1.023 mdz = 1.002
aM,y = 0.9 aM,z = 0.9
Checking for bending about the y-y axis: My,Ed / (aM,y.mdy.Mpl,y,Rd) = 0.94 <1 (6.46)
=> The condition is statisfied
Checking for bending about the z-z axis: Mz,Ed / (aM,z.mdz.Mpl,z,Rd) = 0.17 <1 (6.46)
=> The condition is statisfied
Checking combined compression and biaxial bending (N - My - Mz):
My,Ed / (mdy.Mpl,y,Rd) + Mz,Ed / (mdz.Mpl,z,Rd) = 1.00 <1 (6.47)
=> The condition is statisfied
# Case 2: Failure about the z-z axis is assumed (Neglect imperfections about the y-y axis)
Design bending moment: My,Ed = 380.0 kNm Mz,Ed = 186.0 kNm
Plastic resistance moment: Mpl,y,Rd = 531.5 kNm Mpl,z,Rd = 351.6 kNm
mdy = 1.023 mdz = 1.002
aM,y = 0.9 aM,z = 0.9
Checking for bending about the y-y axis: My,Ed / (aM,y.mdy.Mpl,y,Rd) = 0.78 <1 (6.46)
=> The condition is statisfied
Checking for bending about the z-z axis: Mz,Ed / (aM,z.mdz.Mpl,z,Rd) = 0.59 <1 (6.46)
=> The condition is statisfied
Checking combined compression and biaxial bending (N - My - Mz):
My,Ed / (mdy.Mpl,y,Rd) + Mz,Ed / (mdz.Mpl,z,Rd) = 1.23 >1 (6.47)
=> The condition is not statisfied

Remark:

Therefore, the check of the resistance of the composite column to biaxial bending taking into account
the design axial force NEd = 1800 kN and assuming bending failure about the z-z axis is not satisfied.
