Design of Local Load Introduction According to DIN EN 1993-1-3:2010-12, 6.1.7

Description

The example shows the design of local load introduction according to DIN EN 1993-1-3:2010-12 [1], Section 6.1.7, for a single-span beam subjected to wind suction load. The cross-section consists of a cold-formed C-section with edge stiffening.
The model is based on Example 1.2.2 from [2].
