Strength and Stability Checks of Various Components

For different types of components, the program will check the strength and stability of components and select the section according to the relevant provisions of GB 50017-2017. The following will introduce the relevant code terms considered in the inspection of various types of components in the program.

In the following clauses, the numbers in the opening brackets are consistent with the corresponding clauses in the original GB 50017-2017 specification. In the following formula, the meaning of each symbol is the same as that in GB 50017-2017.

Flexural Members

The flexural strength of the solid web member bending in the main plane is as follows:
$\frac{M_{z}}{r_{z} W_{n z}} + \frac{M_{y}}{r_{y} W_{n y}} \leq f$ (6.1.1)

In code inspection, the default component is static load or indirect dynamic load. In the calculation and test of the program, the values of parameters and forces are obtained from the data structure of components.
The shear strength of the solid web member bending in the main plane is as follows:
$τ = \frac{V S}{I t_{w}} \leq f_{v}$ (6.1.3)
1. At the edge of the calculation height of the web of composite beam, if there are large normal stress, shear stress and local compressive stress at the same time, or bear large normal stress and shear stress at the same time (such as the support of continuous beam or the change of flange section of beam, etc.), the converted stress is as follows:
$\sqrt{σ^{2} + σ_{c}^{2} - σ σ_{c} + 3 τ^{2}} \leq β_{1} f$ (6.1.5)
The global stability of the I-section bending in two main planes is calculated as follows:
$\frac{M_{z}}{ϕ_{b} W_{x}} + \frac{M_{y}}{r_{y} W_{y}} \leq f$ (6.2.3)
Height thickness ratio of Web:
Calculated value = web height / web thickness (I-beam, H-beam, channel steel...)

=Diameter / wall thickness (round pipe)

=Short leg length / short leg thickness (angle steel)

See table 3.5.1 of GB 50017-2017 for calculation limit.
Flange width thickness ratio:
Calculated value = flange width / flange thickness (I-beam, H-beam, channel steel...)

Axially Loaded Members

The strength calculation formula of axially loaded members is as follows:
$σ = \frac{N}{A} \leq f$ (7.1.1-1)

$σ = \frac{N}{A_{n}} \leq {0.7 f}_{u}$ (7.1.1-2)

Members Subject to Combined Axial Loading and Bending

The strength of tension (compression) bending members with bending moment acting on the main plane is as follows:
$\frac{N}{A_{n}} \pm \frac{M_{z}}{r_{z} W_{n z}} \pm \frac{M_{y}}{r_{y} W_{n y}} \leq f$ (8.1.1)
Stability:
1. The stability of solid web compression and bending members with bending moment acting in the plane of symmetry axis is considered as follows.
  1. When the bending moment acts on the plane, the stability calculation formula is as follows:
    $\frac{N}{ψ_{z} A} + \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{r_{z} w_{1 z} (1 - 0.8 \frac{N}{{N^{'}}_{E z}})} \leq f$ (8.2.1-1)
    
    When the bending moment acts in the plane of the symmetrical axis and the larger flange is pressed, it should be calculated according to the above formula, and also meet the following requirements:
    
    $| \frac{N}{A} - \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{γ_{z} w_{2 z} (1 - 1.25 \frac{N}{{N^{'}}_{E z}})} | \leq f$ (8.2.1-4)
  2. When the bending moment acts outside the plane, the stability calculation formula is as follows:
    $\frac{N}{ϕ_{y} A} + \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{ϕ_{b} w_{1 z}} \leq f$ (8.2.1-3)
2. When the bending moment acts on the imaginary axis direction of the lattice compression bending member, the calculation formula of the overall stability in the bending moment action plane is as follows:
  $\frac{N}{ψ_{z} A} + \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{w_{1 z} (1 - \frac{N}{{N^{'}}_{E z}})} \leq f$ (8.2.2-1)
3. The stability of biaxially symmetric solid web I-shaped and box shaped members with bending moment acting on two main planes is calculated according to the following formula:
  $\frac{N}{ϕ_{z} A} + \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{γ_{z} w_{1 z} (1 - 0.8 \frac{N}{N_{E z}})} + \frac{β_{t y} M_{y}}{ϕ_{b y} W_{1 y}} \leq f$ (8.2.5-1)
  
  $\frac{N}{ϕ_{y} A} + \frac{β_{m y} M_{y}}{γ_{y} w_{1 y} (1 - 0.8 \frac{N}{N_{E y}})} + \frac{β_{t z} M_{z}}{ϕ_{b z} W_{1 z}} \leq f$ (8.2.5-2)
4. For the double leg lattice beam columns with bending moment acting on two main planes, the overall stability is calculated by the following formula:
  $\frac{N}{ϕ_{z} A} + \frac{β_{m z} M_{z}}{w_{1 z} (1 - \frac{N}{{N^{'}}_{E z}})} + \frac{β_{t y} M_{y}}{W_{1 y}} \leq f$ (8.2.6-1)
