Verification of solid cross-sections

Verification of shear resistance

The verification of the shear resistance is done in two directions (y and z). Following expression is used:

Where is:

Q

  • The entered shear force

Vfi,θ,Rd

  • The shear resistance of the cross-section

Verification of axial stress in cross-section

The axial stress in the cross-section may be caused by axial force N, bending moments My, Mz and bimoment B. The combination of these forces and moments is verified.

The verification without consideration of buckling and lateral torsional buckling is done according to the following expression:
