A = 76.4 cm cm, flange thickness, tf = 14.2mm, radius of gyration about minor axis, izz = 5.2 cm, depth, h = 209.6mm, width b = 205.8 h/b= h/b= 1.01 => H section Table 3.1: tf = 14.2mm < 40mm therefore fy=275N/mm fy=275N/mm for S275 grade E = 210000 N/mm N/mm Slenderness - zz= zz= 600/5.2 = 115 <180 OK a=1.0, implies 1=(E/fy)0.5 = 86.8 ( zz/ 1) a0.5= 115/86.8 = 1.324

BS5950 786kN

21/03/2003

28

But
EC loads are typically 5% lower than BS Scaling the capacity by this figure gives: EC3 = 760/0.95 = 800 kN EC3 stronger than BS at 786 kN

Summary of LTB
BS5950 splits calculations between strength and equivalent moment EC3 combines equivalent moment and section properties to give a reduction factor EC3 uses EXACT same buckling curves for LTB and Strut buckling EC3 look awful but is easily programmed in a spreadsheet

Conclusions
Eurocodes are not that difficult They are just a little different Rationalises terminology across materials and countries The EFTA region is 10 times bigger than UK Eurocodes are not going to go away this time

Questions??
1.

How quickly will the take up be in the UK? Ans: Ans: It should be quicker than the switch from BS449 to 5950 was since both EC3 and BS5950 are limit states codes. EC3 will become mandatory. What does EC3 say about effective lengths? Ans: Ans: The EC3 guidance is not as helpful as BS5950 Table 22. EC3 gives the general approach for effective lengths in frames which results in the same values as Table 22

Questions??
1.

How is Europe progressing with using EC3? Ans: Ans: The German speaking countries have already adopted the DDENV as a DIN. Benelux countries are well advanced. The rest are planning the implementation. What Whats in EC3 about sway, lambda crit etc? Ans: Ans: There is a lengthy section in the prEN on frame stability. On initial viewing, this looks very like the BS5950:2000 approach. See Section 5 of the prEN for the full details
