Bearing capacity of cross-section loaded by normal force

Tension normal force

In case of tension force, the stress in steel part of cross section is calculated using following formula:

where: σs - stress in steel
N - normal force acting in section
As - area of the steel part of the micropile cross-section


Compressive normal force

Bearing capacity of the cross-section in compression, reduced by buckling coefficient, is determined as:

where: χ - buckling coefficient
As - area of the steel part of the micropile cross-section
Ac - area of the cement mixture part of the micropile cross-section
Rsd - design strength of steel
Rcd - design strength of cement mixture in compression

Design strengths are equal to standard values in verification based on factor of safety.

Design strengths of steel and cement mixture are calculated in verification based on limit states using following formulas:

where: Rs - standard strength of steel, entered in the frame "Material"
γms - reliability coefficient of steel, entered in the frame "Settings"
Rc - standard strength of cement mixture in compression, entered in the frame "Material"
γmc - reliability coefficient of cement mixture, entered in the frame "Settings"

The stress in the steel part of the cross-section is determined as:

where: N - normal force acting in section
Nc,u - bearing capacity of the cross-section in compression, reduced by influence of buckling
Rsd - design strength of steel
