Benchmark 44: Class 4 compression member

Project file: Benchmark_(EC_EN_1993)_44.esa

SCIA Engineer Version R18.1

Introduction

This benchmark concerns Example 5: Cross-section classification under compression of Eurocode 3: Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten. Band 1: Allgemeine Regeln und Hochbau

A member is to be designed to carry an axial load (compression). The cross-section classification is determined of a HEA500 in grade S460 steel.
