Buckling resistance

The buckling resistance is given by the formula

Where is:

χ

  • The reduction factor for flexural buckling

A

  • The cross-sectional area

fy

  • The yield strength

γM1

  • The partial safety factor

The area of the effective cross-section is used for the class 4. The value of Aosl is used for perforated cross-sections. The buckling resistance is calculated for directions y and z or for the main axes directions η and ζ (L-cross-sections).

The values of slenderness λz and λy for buckling perpendicular to the axes z and y are given by expression

Where is:

Lcr,z, Lcr,y

  • The buckling lengths for buckling perpendicular to axes z and y

iz, iy

  • The radius of gyration for axes z and y

The values of relative slenderness and are given by the expressions

Where is:

λz, λy

  • The slenderness corresponding to the axes z and y

λ1

  • The slenderness value to determine the relative slenderness

Aeff

  • The cross-sectional area of the effective cross-section

A

  • The cross-sectional area

The slenderness value to determine the relative slenderness λ1 is given by the formula

Where is:

E

  • The modulus of elasticity

fy

  • The yield strength

The value of imperfection factor α is selected according to the values and and shape of the cross-section. This factor represents one of the buckling curves a0, a, b, c, d. The buckling curve may be also selected by the user. The reduction factors for buckling χz and χy are calculated using expressions

however, following expressions have to be fulfilled

where ϕ is calculated according to the follwoing expressions for directions z and y.

The buckling resistances Nb,Rd,z and Nb,Rd,y are calculated with the help of reduction factors χz and χy:

The design value of the buckling resistance is reduced for "High shear" (described in the chapter "Low and high shear"). The reduction factor is given by the expression

Where is:

ρzy

  • The reduction factor making an allowance for the presence of shear forces in directions z and y

AV,z,AV,y

  • The shear areas for directions z and y

A

  • The cross-sectional area
