axial_compression_force_given_member: Calculate the axial compression force for a given member size
In shadowboxingskills/civilR: Civil Engineering R package

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Compute Axial Compression Force, N_{ed} [kN], for member without including Temperature effect. Used as trial for the top level strut where temperature changes could not be neglected. As well can be used to calculate final N_{ed} for struts from low levels of excavation, where temperature effect could be neglected.

`isTopLevel`	Is member located at top level? [boolean]
`alpha_T`	Thermal coef. of expansion [degC]
`delta_T`	Change in temperature from the Installation temperature [degC]
`k_T`	Coefficient Of Temperature Effect [dimensionless]
`E`	Young's Modulus of Elasticity [GPa]
`list_reference_tables`	List of reference tables

First of all function check which combination govern in ULS (Ultimate Limit State) without including Temperature load, TL [kN]. Then include TL calculations for Load Combinations applying partial factors based on the Table A1.2(B), EN1990-2002, p53 Compare maximum from ULS and ALS to define which mistake could govern.
