Eurocode

The Eurocode Member Code Check report lists the results of the Eurocode Code Check for an individual member.

In the output, standard nomenclature is used. Major refers to the strong axis of the member and minor to the weak axis.

For columns and braces the member forces at both the top and bottom are shown. For beams the controlling segment and the associated end member forces are shown.

The controlling load combination and the corresponding member forces and capacities are shown. The member is controlled by the greater of the interaction values from the Cross Section resistance, Buckling resistance or Web Shear Buckling resistance.

Pertinent intermediate values used to calculate cross section and buckling capacities are printed.

In lieu of interaction equation results, members that are determined to be class 4 (slender) are indicated as such.
