Eurocode3 Benchmarks

This article provides list of benchmarks from “Designers’ Guide to Eurocode3: Design of steel buildings EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-8” to verify design results of SDC Verifier. All examples modeled in Ansys, Femap and Simcenter and calculated with SDC Verifier.

• Example 6.6: cross-section resistance under combined bending and compression;
• Example 6.7: buckling resistance of a compression member;
• Example 6.9: member resistance under combined major axis bending and axial compression;
• Example – Determine the utilization for the 6 presented configurations of joints with I-beam/RHS braces and RHS chords according to Eurocode 3 EN 1993-1-8 (2005)
