Design of class 4 cross section in axial compression according to EUROCODE 3
Abstract
In this paper theoretic basis of design of class 4 cross section in axial compression according to EN1993-1-5 is given. Design procedure is given as an flow chart and ilustrated with an worked example. Plate buckling is treated localy and globaly through the concept of effective cross sections. Interaction between plate-like and column-like behaviour of panels is carried out thought buckling reduction factors and final effective area of cross section.
