Frame with Eccentric Base Plate
Model to Download
Description
Constructional reasons can make it necessary that a base plate is not centrically set on a foundation. Therefore, an eccentric arrangement of the base plate is possible in RF‑/JOINTS Steel - Column Base by entering the parameters for the respective direction in Window 1.4.

Defining Eccentricity of Base Plate in RF-/JOINTS Steel - Column Base
Constructional reasons can make it necessary that a base plate is not centrically set on a foundation. Therefore, an eccentric arrangement of the base plate is possible in RF‑/JOINTS Steel - Column Base by entering the parameters for the respective direction in Window 1.4.

SHAPE-THIN | Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
