EN 3-2005 Example 003

The document describes a test of the axial and bending strength of a continuous beam-column section in ETABS. The beam-column is subjected to an axial load of 1400 kN and bending moment of 200 kN-m. The results of the ETABS analysis are compared to independent hand calculations and show good agreement with less than 0.1% difference.

WIDE FLANGE SECTION UNDER COMBINED COMPRESSION & BENDING

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The frame object axial strengths are tested in this example.

A continuous beam-column is subjected to factored axial load P = 1400 kN and


major-axis bending moment M = 200 kN-m. This example was tested using the
Eurocode 3-2005 steel frame design code. The design capacities are compared
with independent hand calculated results.

RESULTS COMPARISON

Independent results are taken from hand calculations based on the CSI steel
design documentation contained in the file “SFD-EC-3-2005.pdf”, which is also
available through the program “Help” menu. Examples were taken from Example
6.6 on pp. 57-59 from the book “Designers’ Guide to EN1993-1-1” by R.S.
Narayanan & A. Beeby.
