Buckling
The upper part of the window contains buckling parameters (consideration in the analysis, fundamental lengths Lx and supporting style) for directions Y and Z (in analysis type "Concrete 2D" only direction Y). The pinned supporting style is considered as a default, the buckling length is equal to the fundamental length in this case. The different supporting style for directions Y and Z may be selected in the window "Buckling length" that is available after clicking on the button with a calculator.
Creep coefficient
The buckling analysis is affected by the creep coefficient that may be specified in the window "Creep". This window may be opened by the button with a calculator.
Method based on
The main parameter of the buckling analysis is the method of verification. Following options are available:
Method based on the nominal stiffness |
|
Method based on the nominal curvature |
|
Simplified method based on 12.6.5.2 of the standard |
|
The calculation details are displayed in the bottom part of the window.
