| LCo |
This is the controlling Load Combination for the span and condition indicated. |
| Cl |
The class of the section subject to the indicated loads. Only class 1 and 2 can be designed as composite sections. |
| MEd |
This is the factored moment for the indicated Span, Condition and Load Combination. |
| VEd |
This is the factored shear load for the indicated Span, Condition and Load Combination. |
| @ |
This is the location of the indicated moment, measured from the left end of the beam. |
| Lb |
This is the unbraced length for the segment containing the indicated moment. If unbraced length was not considered, as for a simple span composite beam, Lb is indicated with "---". Otherwise, if the compression flange is fully braced throughout the segment, Lb is indicated with "0.0", meaning there is no unbraced length to be considered. |
| MRd |
The characters represent the controlling equation for the calculated capacity. | Setting | Description |
|---|
| Mc.y.Rd |
Beam plastic bending capacity, |
| Mv.y.Rd |
Beam bending capacity reduced for shear load, |
| Mb.y.Rd |
Beam capacity considering lateral buckling, |
| MRd |
Composite beam plastic capacity. |
|
| Capacity |
This is the design strength of the beam segment. |
