Fatigue checks of the crane structures according Eurocode 3 EN 13001 FEM 1 001 using SDC Verifier

All structures subjected to repetitive loading have to be checked for Fatigue damage to define the residual lifetime, investigate or prevent cracks or failures. This helps with the design of new structures as well as with maintenance of the existing ones. SDC Verifier present complete set of tools to recognize […]

Eurocode3 Design Examples

This article provides list of examples 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.   Example 6.6: cross-section resistance under combined bending and compression; Example 6.7: buckling resistance of a compression member; Example 6.9: member […]

Eurocode 3. Example 6.6: Cross-section resistance under combined bending and compression

In this article we compare the resistance under combined bending and compression according to SDC Verifier and Designer’s Guide to Eurocode3: Design of steel buildings EN 1993-1-1. All results are generated with SDC Verifier 4.5 and calculated with FEMAP v11.3.1 Task: A member is to be designed to carry a […]

Eurocode 3. Example 6.7: Buckling resistance of a compression member

We compare the buckling resistance of a compression member according to SDC Verifier and Designer’s Guide to Eurocode3: Design of steel buildings EN 1993-1-1. The results are generated with SDC Verifier 4.5 and calculated with FEMAP v11.3.1 Task:  A circular hollow section (CHS) member is to be used as an […]

Weld Strength Check

This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to perform the weld strength check according to Eurocode 3, DNV OS-C101-LRFD, DNV OS-C201-WSD standards in SDC Verifier. The following steps are covered: Weld Finder Tool detailed review; Weld Stress calculations; Standards creation; Report preparation and results.

AISC 360-10 and Eurocode 3

The tutorial illustrates how to perform Member Check according to the AISC 360-10. A beam model of a lattice structure has been used as a start FEM model. In this tutorial, AISC 360-10 Beam Design Checks are reviewed in details. A beam model structure has been used as a start […]

Eurocode3 Beam Member Checks

The Eurocode3 rules estimate the risk of global and local buckling limits of the steel beam members with a classification based method. For the explanation of the checking procedure with the SDC Verifier software the beam member below is used.
