06 Rigid Connection Part6 Beam Flange And Web In Compression

This playlist series focuses on the rigid connection calculation according to EN 1993-1-8. A comparison is made with Ansys at the end of the series after hand calculation. Finally, tips for applying the semi-rigid connection to RFEM are presented.

An Endplate welded to a beam, HEA200, is bolted to a HEB300 column with 6M20 class 8.8, as shown in the figures below. Steel material is S355 for all parties.

This video shows the resistance calculation of the Beam flange and web in compression according to EN 1993-1-8. The contents are as follows:

1. Table 6.1 Item 7 explanation.
2. Beam Flange and Web in Compression according to 6.2.6.7.
3. Beam Flange and Web resistance in compression.
4. Introduction to a frame to be checked for the given loads according to the presented connection.
