    Dimensioning of General sections for the design by using EN 1993-1-1:2005 code

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): STAAD.Pro 
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  EN 1993-1-1:2005
      Subarea:  FAQ's

    While creating a General section, how do we know what is the meaning of D, B, TD and TB values for each section type selected by the GST parameter in the EN 1993-1-1:2005?


     

    Answer:

     
    Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005) is the only design code in the STAAD.Pro as of now, which can design General section not only as an I section, but also as some other standard section. The table below summarizes the meaning of D, B, TD and TB values in the General section dialog for each standard section, when it is designed by using EN 1993-1-1:2005 and assigned with some specific GST parameter's value.

    Section Shape GST value  Parameters required D B TD  TB
    I 0 D, TD, B, TB Depth of the section Width of the section Thickness of web Thickness of single flange
    Single Channel 1 D, TD, B, TB Depth of the section Width of the section Thickness of web Thickness of single flange
    RHS 2 D, B, TD Depth of the section Width of the section Thickness of wall Not required
    CHS 3 D, TD External radius of pipe Not required Thickness of wall Not required
    Angle 4 D,B,TB Depth of angle Width of angle Not required Thickness of leg
    Tee 5 D, TD, B, TB Depth of the section Depth of the section Thickness of web Thickness of flange
