Modification of characteristic lengths (buckling
lengths) for different buckling checks (in the context of steel design
resistance calculation for steel and composite elements).
| Setting | Description |
|---|
|
From, To, Step
|
Series of elements where buckling lengths should be
modified
|
|
Begin
|
Block for modification of characteristic lengths at
the start points of the specified elements. Values where the modification
option is not checked remain unchanged throughout the element series.
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| L-rx
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for torsional-flexural buckling
|
| L-ry
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for flexural buckling in transverse direction
|
| L-rz
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for flexural buckling in main bending direction
|
| L-loc
|
Option for modification of the relevant
characteristic length for local buckling
|
| L-rz
|
Option for modification of the relevant
characteristic length for lateral-torsional buckling (transverse buckling of
compression chords)
|
|
|
End
|
Block for modification of characteristic lengths at
the start points of the specified elements.
|
| Rigid End Post
|
If enabled, rigid end post check will be performed per Euro
Code. By default, this check is not performed.
