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. GEOMETRY, PROPERTIES AND LOADING

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 EN1992-1-1 and EN1992-12 by R.S. Narayanan & A. Beeby. Percent Difference 0.00% 0.00% -0.08% -0.09%
