Description Usage Arguments Value
Calculate the local buckling resistance of member about minor z-z axis, based on EC3 Approach.
L_e=kL_{ch}
[mm] where L is the critical length for buckling about minor axis z-z Steps of the check performed for laced struts:
Plastic resistance of the cross-section to compression [kN]
N_{pl,R_d,ch}= 2(A \, fy)
The Euler buckling load [kN]
N_{cr,ch}=\frac{π^2 \, E \, I_{zz}}{{L_e}^2}
Relative slenderness [dimensionless]
\bar{λ_{ch}} = √{ \frac{N_{pl,R_d,ch}}{N_{cr,ch}} }
Calculate Φ_{ch} parameter for slenderness reduction factor
Φ_{ch} = 0.5 ≤ft[ 1 + α ≤ft( \bar{λ_{ch}}-0.2 \right) + {\bar{λ_{ch}}}^2 \right]
Slenderness reduction factor [dimensionless]
X_{ch} = \frac{1}{ Φ_{ch}+√{{Φ_{ch}}^2-{\bar{λ_{ch}}}^2} }
Output overall buckling resistance of the struts about z-z minor axis [kN]
N_{b,R_d,ch}=X_{ch} \, N_{pl,R_d,ch}
The partial factors γ_M that are applied to resistance of members to instability: γ_{M_1} = 1
