| Description: | To provide an overview of the various design methods for steel structures in AQB, several design methods are used in this example. Starting with a simple elastic-elastic design then computing normal elastic-plastic interactions acc. to EC3 and the German DIN 18800, a very effective and economic design (acc. to SOFiSTiK AG, Dr.-Ing. C.Katz) is performed. In this design method the strain plane of the cross section is computed exactly, leading to a better usage of the plastic load carrying capability. |
