AD.2007-03.2.5 Updated and Additional Standard Steel Grades in Eurocode 3
The standard steel grades are referenced in the Eurocode 3 have been provided as standard steel grades in order that the appropriate buckling curves can be selected.
The steel grade can be specified using the parameter
SGR which accept values of 0 to 5. This translates to
the following:
| Grade | SGR |
|---|---|
| S 235 | 0 (default) |
| S 275 | 1 |
| S 355 | 2 |
| S 450 | 3 |
| S 460 | 4 |
Note: If a user-defined
yield stress
PY is specified, the buckling curve will still be
determined from the
SGR setting (i.e., if not specified, it will be based on
the default
SGR parameter). Therefore, if setting a user
PY, this should be preceded in the file by the
appropriate steel grade command.
