Steel Buildings in Europe

Part 8: Design Software – Section Capacity 8 - 6 2.6 Tension Worksheet The following data may be selected: Section type Section data is included for the following section types (profiles):  IPE  HE  UPE  Equal Angles  Unequal Angles (long leg attached)  Unequal Angles (short leg attached) Section All the standard sections within each section type are available for selection from the drop-down menu. Beam grade The steel grade for the beams may be selected from the following:  S235  S275  S355  S460 Number of bolts When designing an angle, the number of bolts may be selected from the following :  No bolt (weld)  1 bolt  2 bolts  3 bolts Bolt size The bolt size may be selected from the following:  M12  M14  M16  M18  M20  M22  M24  M27 The output is the tension resistance, calculated as the resistance of the gross section at yield for I sections or the minimum resistance of the gross section at yield and the net section at ultimate for angles, all given in kN.
