Defining Elastic Foundation Constant and Eccentricity
Definition of spring properties and eccentricity in timber design with lateral-torsional restraints.
The image shows the definition of spring parameters and eccentricity in timber design. If tilt stiffeners are arranged on the bottom side, they are not used to shorten the buckling lengths. The treatment of the position of the buckling stiffeners is crucial, especially in the case of the effect of under-wind, which does not take into account the stiffeners arranged on the top side.
