imperfections

EK649

According to Eurocode, the imperfections should be taken into account in the ultimate limit states in persistent and accidental design situations, but not in serviceability.

Although the theory of the elastic stability of perfect pin-ended struts, sometimes referred to as the Euler theory, provides some insight into the behaviour of slender compression members, it omits […]

EK421

The principal advantages of butt welds are the simplicity of the joint and the minimal change of the stress path. Static tension test results indicate that their average tensile strength […]

EK208

An ideal column is perfectly straight but real columns always have some imperfections which deviate from this ideal. The amount of imperfection to be expected varies with the type of […]

EK164

When a braced or unbraced frame has low slenderness, so that ratio between elastic buckling load and acting load is greater or equal to 15, then EC3 allows all the […]

EK163

When an unbraced frame has high slenderness so that ratio between elastic buckling load and acting load is lower than 3, then EC3 requires a more accurate analysis to be […]

EK162

When an unbraced frame has moderate slenderness so that the ratio between elastic buckling load and acting load is greater or equal to 3, but lower than 10, than EC3 […]

EK161

When a braced or unbraced frame has low slenderness so that ratio between elastic buckling and acting load is greater than or equal to 10, then EC3 allows the moments […]
