This article presents a worked example on how to design a simply supported stair slab for bending moment and deflections. The reinforced concrete slab has characteristic material strengths of fck = 30 N/mm2 for the concrete and fyk = 500 N/mm2 for the steel. In order to check if the span-to depth ratio of the slab is within allowable limits, the simplified procedure of Eurocode 2 part 1, clause 7.4.2 will be used.

The following worked example shows the procedure to determine the buckling resistance of a structural steel pinned column with intermediate restraints according to Eurocode 3 part 1-1. The height of the column is 9,00 m and is restrained about zz axis every 3,00 m. NEd=1200 kN is the compressive design load.

In this design example we will try to present how to calculate the wind loads subjected to signboards according to Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-4). The dimensions of the signboard are h=7,00m and b=5,00m. It is separated from the ground by a height zg=1,50m. Finally, the value of the basic wind velocity is Vb=33m/s and the category of the terrain I (flat horizontal area with negligible vegetation and without obstacles).

The main purpose of this article is to calculate the concrete cover of a beam according to Eurocode 2. Assume a 30cm x 70cm reinforced concrete simply supported beam with 20mm main bars and 10mm links. The structure is located near to the coast (class designation XS1), its working life is 50 years (structural class S4) and a 2 hour fire resistance is required (R120).

In frames with concentric diagonal bracings the dissipative zones are located in the tension diagonals only. In this case, the yielding of the tension diagonals should occur before yielding or buckling of the beams or columns and before the failure of the connections. The compressive diagonals do not contribute to the ductility of the frame because they can fail due to buckling. In this article we will present how to calculate the minimum axial force resistance requirement of beams and columns according to EN 1998-1 clause 6.7.4.

Serviceability checks are critical and may determine the final cross-section of a cold-formed steel member. This article presents four checks that should always be carried out when designing a floor joist. Floor T&G boards, are usually supported by simply supported beams at 400mm or 600mm centres. In the first case the thickness of the board is usually 18mm whereas in the second case 22mm.

Cross Section Analysis & Design is a powerful application that can perform a wide range of cross section calculations, including the design of reinforced concrete sections. The given cross sections are built up of one or more geometric entities and can be drawn directly using the versatile featured user interface. The user can also import standard steel sections from a complete shape library according to all major codes (AISC, Australian-New Zealand, BS, Chinese, European, Indian, Aluminum etc).
