01 Rigid Connection Part1 Column Flange In Transverse Bending

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 equivalent T-Stub of the column flange in bending according to EN 1993-1-8. The contents are as follows:

1.  Table 6.1 of the code and what needs to be considered in rigid or semi-rigid connection calculation.
2. Column Flange in transverse bending according to 6.2.6.4.
3. Equivalent T-Stub effective length for unstiffened column flange table 6.4.
4.  Failure patterns, circular and non-circular, individual and group, and effective length for equivalent T-Stub.
5. The failure mode of the equivalent T-Stub.
6. Tension resistance of the column flange.
