3 Application options Design standards The STT application performs structural safety analyses in accordance with the Equivalent Bar Method for beams of steel profile s as per EC 3 (EN ) under planned (ec-)centric loading. The regulations of National Appendices are taken into consideration - DIN EN /NA - ÖNORM B NA to BS EN NEN EN /NB - NBN EN ANB - CSN EN /NA System The single-span beam system is supported. Loads You can expose the beam system to vertical and horizontal loading and moments on left and right edges. But you cannot define loading that produces planned torsion. Calculation STT generates automatically the appropriate load cases and load case combinations depending on the defined actions and performs the necessary analyses, whereby the decisive load case combination is determined for each limit state. Interfaces to other applications You can transfer the characteristic bearing forces to the applications - STS Steel Column - B5 Reinforced Concrete Column - BTII Lateral Torsional Buckling according second order theory. STT Single-Span Steel Beam 3

4 Basics of calculation The basis of calculation of the STT application is the standard series Eurocode 3. The National Appendices for Austria, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Czech Republic are implemented in the current version of the application. Design values oft he internal forces Load cases fort he calculation oft he internal forces The load cases are generated from the loads entered by the user independent of the selected design standard. The load cases for permanent and transient actions are always generated separately. The classification scheme is illustrated in detail in the table below. Code G inf G sup-inf Q sup Comprises the self-weight of the beam and all permanent portions of standard, node and bar loads that are included in the calculation with the lower partial safety factor for permanent actions ( G = G,inf ). Under normal conditions, the following applies: G = G,inf = Comprises the permanent portion either of the beam self-weight or of standard, node and bar loads, which are multiplied with the difference between the upper and the lower partial safety factor for permanent actions ( G = G,sup - G,inf ). Under normal conditions, the following applies: G = G,sup - G,inf = = 0.35 comprises in each case the variable portion of standard, node and bar loads that are included in the calculation with the upper partial safety factor for variable actions ( Q = Q,sup ). Under normal conditions, the following applies: Q = Q,sup = Permanent actions In contrast to variable actions, permanent actions must be taken into account even if they have favourable effects. Consequently, the permanent actions must be included partially with their lower and partially with their upper partial safety factor. Therefore a load case (G inf ) is generated that comprises all permanent actions. This load case is taken into account with the lower partial safety factor for permanent actions. Subsequently, a separate load case is generated for each permanent action. The load cases (G sup-inf ) generated this way are treated like variable load cases. This ensures that they are cancelled if they have a favourable effect and that permanent loads with favourable effects are only taken into account with their lower partial safety factor. Variable actions A separate load case (Q sup ) is generated for each variable action. However, you can mark variable actions with so-called concurrent groups. Loads that are assigned to the same concurrent group always act together and therefore, must correspond to one and the same action. For each defined concurrent group, only a single load case is generated and marked with the action it is based on. All independent actions are marked with a separate load case. Apart from imposed and service loads, variable actions can also result from accidental loading due to impact, earthquake or fire. 4 Frilo Structural analysis and design

5 Load case combinations fort he calculation oft he internal forces Limit state and design situation To verify fully the structural safety and serviceability of a single-span-beam system you must analyse various limit states in different design situations. The ultimate limit states that can be considered in STT are as follows: - Ultimate elastic or plastic resistance of the cross (CSR) - Lateral buckling (LB) - Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) The available serviceability limit states refer to - maximum displacement in direction of the 1 st main axis (dy) - maximum displacement in direction of the 2 nd main axis (dz) - maximum resulting displacement (dyz) If the design is performed in accordance with the partial safety concept, the following design situations can be distinguished: - the permanent and transient design situation - the accidental design situation - the characteristic (infrequent) situation - the frequent situation and - the quasi-permanent situation The accidental design situation is the decisive design situation as a result of either an accident (impact loads) or seismic loading or fire. For each of these analyses, only a single decisive load case combination exists and must comply with the combination rules as per EN Load combinations in STT The table below gives an overview of the assignment of load case combinations to the corresponding analyses. Code P/T : CSR P/T : LTB A : CSR A : LTB SERV: dy SERV: dz SERV: dyz Analysis of the elastic or plastic ultimate resistance of the cross in the permanent and transient design situation Analysis of torsional buckling or lateral torsional buckling in the permanent and transient design situation Analysis of the ultimate elastic or plastic resistance of the cross in the accidental design situation Analysis of torsional buckling or lateral torsional buckling in the accidental design situation Analysis of the maximum displacement in direction of the first main axis Analysis of the maximum displacement in direction of the second main axis Analysis of the maximum resulting displacement The user must specify the design situation the serviceability analyses should be based on. The calculation results are represented in the form of a summary in STT. STT Single-Span Steel Beam 5

6 Concurrent and alternative groups In most cases, the user defines loads in STT that do not comply with the load cases required for combination. He can control the application-internal generation of these load cases via the assignment of loads to concurrent and alternative groups. Loads that are assigned to the same concurrent group always apply simultaneously. The variable portions of those concurrent loads are included in one and the same load case. This means that loads of the same concurrent group must never represent different actions because the border condition that these loads must always occur simultaneously would not be fulfilled in this case. Different partial safety factors and combination coefficients could neither be taken into consideration within the same load case. Loads that are assigned to the same alternative group never apply simultaneously. Combinations of actions including load cases of the same alternative group are excluded from the analysis. Load groups that have been assigned to the same concurrent group and therefore are marked as concurrent loads can be assigned to different alternative group. As a consequence, the load cases generated from several variable loads may exclude each other. Due to this effect, the combination of concurrent and alternative groups allows you to define complex loading situations. This option is particularly suitable for the examination of wind loads from different directions or loads resulting from one and the same action, for instance. Example fort he effects of concurrent and alternative groups The following example is intended to demonstrate the effects of concurrent and alternative groups: Action 1 Load 1 Load 3 Action 2 Load 2 Load 4 Concurrent group 1 Concurrent group 2 Alternative group 1 Illustration 1: Effects produced by concurrent and alternative groups Load 1 acts in the positive y direction, load 2 acts in the negative y direction, i.e. inversely to load 1. The loads 3 and 4 produce the same situation but in the z-direction. The loads in both directions should apply simultaneously. The wind loads in opposite directions must not be defined as acting simultaneously. Therefore, the loads 1 and 3 are assigned to a concurrent group and the loads 2 and 4 to another concurrent group. All loads are assigned to the same alternative group. As a consequence, the loads 1 and 3 form a common load case and so do the loads 2 and 4 whereby both load cases exclude each other. Note: Loads that the user has erroneously assigned to the same concurrent group and the same alternative group are treated as concurrent loads. Concurrent groups have priority in practice. 6 Frilo Structural analysis and design

7 Types of analyses Analyses in the ultimate limit states According to EN 1990, you may apply the combination rules that produce the design values of the internal forces either to the actions or their effects. Beams are components with a critical stability. Therefore, the combination rules should be applied to the actions independently of whether the structural safety analyses are performed according to the equivalent bar system method or as 2nd order analyses. This approach is implemented in the STT application. For the analysis of the ultimate limit state of the cross, STT uses first order internal forces. The analyses of lateral buckling and lateral torsional buckling are performed on the basis of the equivalent bar system method. These analyses are preceded by a numerical calculation of the respective bifurcation load factors. Analysis in the limit states of serviceability The serviceability analysis refers exclusively to the calculation of the displacements separately for the different main axis and of the shifts resulting from this. Deformations are also calculated in a first order analysis. You should note that, in particular cases, second order deformations can be considerably larger than first order deformations. If the deformations are of particular importance, you should perform an advanced second order analysis. If you have a valid licence for BTII you can use this application for this task. Load transfer The reaction forces of the single-span-beam system can be transferred to the applications - Steel column (STS) - Reinforced Concrete Column (B5) - Girder Support (ST4) - Welding Seam (ST5) You should note in this connection that the reaction forces are calculated as characteristic values in first order analyses for each load case. If the real load conditions do not correspond to the defined standard or the loading situation leads to planned torsion, you cannot use STS for the calculation. The BTII application is available for this purpose. If you have a valid licence for BTII (2nd Order Buckling Torsion Analyses) you can transfer the structural system from STT to BTII via the data export function. The BTII application also performs second order buckling torsion analyses for more complex systems. STT Single-Span Steel Beam 7

11 Supporting conditions Lateral support In addition to the supporting conditions which correspond to the Euler buckling modes, you can define lateral supports. This allows you to simulate applying bracing (discrete supports) or plate-type stiffening structures (continuous supports). The following supports against lateral displacement are available: - unsupported - continuously supported - supported in the middle of the span - supported in the third points - supported in the quarter points - supported at x0 height. Note: The supports are generated with a very high default spring value that produces a quasi rigid support. If you like to define more refined springs you should use the BTII application. (See interface to BTII). Location It is of essential importance for the examination of the stability to define where the lateral supports apply to the cross. The selection list allows you to specify the point of application of the lateral support. Upper chord, bottom chord and shear center are available options.

19 Calculation and analysis Analysis in the ultimate limit state The analyses in the ultimate limit state include the following individual verifications: - Analysis of the carrying capacity of the cross giving consideration to the local buckling failure (verification of the c/t-limiting values and assignment to cross classes). - Analysis of lateral buckling. This analysis is only performed if normal forces are applied to the beam. - Analysis of torsional and lateral torsional buckling. This analysis is only performed if the beam has an open cross and is, therefore, susceptible to torsion, and if loads apply that produce this failure mode. The stability analyses of lateral buckling and lateral torsional buckling are based on the socalled equivalent bar system method. This method requires the calculation of the bifurcation loads belonging to the respective failure mode. On the basis of these bifurcation loads, the reduction factors for lateral buckling and lateral torsional buckling can be calculated. When applying the simplified analysis, an eigenvalue calculation is performed using the subspace method. The eigenvalue determination for the FE problem requires the solution of the general matrix eigenvalue problem for the smallest eigenvalue Ki. This task is handled in STS via the calculation module of the BTII application The examination is performed for each load case combination in combination with each applicable design situation. This method ensures that the actually decisive failure situation in accordance with the safety concept can be determined. Analysis in the serviceability state The displacements in direction of the different main axis and the resulting displacement are calculated in a first order analysis. The results are compared to the parameters defined by the user. Evidence is considered to be established if the calculated displacements are smaller or equal to the user-defined values.

22 Load transfer The term load transfer refers basically to two advanced functions, the system transfer to BTII and the transfer of bearing forces for the calculation of connected structures. System transfer to the BTII application General The first advanced function is used for the export of the beam system to the BTII application for the calculation of more complex systems or to perform comparative calculations. Higher requirements on the calculation of beam systems, which cannot be fulfilled by an application such as STT, become relevant if the bearing conditions do not comply with the prescribed standard or if loads have to be included that produce either planned torsion or inconstant behaviour of the axial forces. Such systems cannot be verified using the equivalent bar system method. They require second order analyses with consideration to warping torsion. The BTII application offers the necessary performance parameters for this task. Exporting the system The beam system is represented as a system in the BTII application. The bearing conditions correspond to the structural system of the beam including the lateral supports. Exporting loads The BTII application does not use characteristic loads but load cases and load case combinations. They are generated by the STS application only after the calculation has been performed successfully. If no system calculation was performed, only the system is exported. In this case, no loads are transferred to BTII. Transfer of bearing forces STT offers a load transfer feature to other applications for the calculation of connected structures and foundations. The interfaces to STS, B5 allow the transfer of the characteristic bearing forces for the calculation of beam support. 22 Frilo Structural analysis and design

23 Frequently asked questions System Can I also calculate multi-span systems in STT? No. STT provides for the calculation of single-span beam only. However, you can define lateral supports in the form of discrete and continuous supports. The application point relevant for the stability analyses can be defined either on the top chord, the bottom cord or in the shear center. Loads Can I specify loads that lead to planned torsion? No. Loads that produce planned torsion are not considered in STT. The most important reason for this restriction is that the simplified equivalent bar system analysis must not be used in a comparable load situation. In such a case, a second order analysis of torsional warping is required. We like to point out in this connection that our BTII module is able to perform this task. Calculation Can I perform a second order analysis in addition to the verification on the basis of the equivalent bar system method? No. Systems requiring second order analyses can be calculated with our BTII module. STT Single-Span Steel Beam 23
