BEST Design of Steel Columns for Standard Cross-Sections - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

ZWAX 1

BEST – Design of Steel Columns for Standard Cross-Sections

▪ Verification according to DIN and EN with national annexes for DE, AT, SK/CZ & UK ▪ Modelling of multi-storey columns with different stepped cross-sections ▪ Use of welded and rolled profiles for I-shape cross-sections as well as rectangular hollow or tube cross-sections ▪ Determination of the pre-deformation affine to the buckling shape per load combination ▪ Option to set language and program configuration ▪ Stability analysis for flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling ▪ EE and EP verification for biaxial bending with normal load ▪ Simple and clear result evaluation using preview function with additional configuration and filter options ▪ Calculation according to the linear and nonlinear theories, considering imperfections
