Structural Analysis: Steel Design To Eurocode 3

There are four types of global structural analysis: initial geometry with linear material behavior; initial geometry with non-linear material behavior; deformed geometry with linear material behavior; and deformed geometry with non-linear material behavior. The choice between first-order and second-order analysis depends on whether ignoring second-order effects could lead to unsafe structural behavior or force underestimation. Second-order analysis is required if second-order effects significantly increase action effects or modify structural behavior. First-order analysis is sufficient if the critical buckling factor is greater than 10 for elastic analysis or 15 for plastic analysis. Otherwise, second-order analysis or amplification of lateral loads is needed.

Steel Design to Eurocode 3 Structural Analysis

Analysis Types
There are four types of global analysis:
Deformed Geometry Non-linear material behaviour

The choice between a first- and second- order analysis should be based on: x the flexibility of the structure in particular, the extent to which ignoring second-order effects might lead to an unsafe approach due to underestimation of some of the internal forces and moments.

Initial Geometry

Linear material behaviour

Clause 5.2.1(2) states that second order effects shall be considered: if they increase the action effects significantly or modify significantly the structural behaviour

Analysis Type First-order elastic Second-order elastic First-order plastic Second-order elastic

First-Order Analysis
A first-order analysis may be used if the following criteria is satisfied: cr 10 for elastic analysis cr 15 for plastic analysis cr =Fcr/FEd cr is the factor by which the design loading would have to increased to cause elastic instability in a global mode (cr in BS 5950-1) is the design loading on the structure is the elastic critical buckling load for global instability based on initial elastic stiffness.

Joints
Clause 5.1.2 deals with joint modelling Eurocode 3 recognises the same three types of joint, in terms of their effect on the behaviour of the frame structure, as BS 5950: Part 1. For portal frames (with shallow roof slopes less than 26) and beam and column plane frames:

HEd

is the horizontal reaction at the bottom of the storey is the total vertical load at the bottom of the storey

VEd

H,Ed is the horizontal deflection at the top of the storey under consideration relative to the bottom of the storey, with all horizontal loads applied to the structure.

is the storey height.

Amplifier
If 10 > cr 3.0 Increase all lateral loads by the amplifier:
Limits on cr cr >10 Action First order Analysis First order analysis plus amplification 10>cr >3 or effective length method cr 3 Second order analysis Table 2: Actions to be taken once cr has been calculated

(h is the height of the structure in metres) m is the reduction factor for columns

(m is the number of columns contributing to the effect on the bracing system)

Summary
1) Model the Frame

Imperfections

2) Put all the loads on the frame (Including the EHFs) 3) Calculate cr 4) Check to see if second-order effects are significant

5) If necessary use the amplifier

Figure 2: Typical Imperfections that will be present when designing a structure

Frame imperfections appear in (almost) every load case. We can represent initial sway imperfections by using Equivalent Horizontal Forces (EHFs) which are based on 1/200 of the factored vertical load, with reduction factors.

Figure3:Replacing initial sway imperfections with equivalent horizontal forces

EHF = x Vertical Forces 0 = 0hm = 1/200 = 0.005

h is the reduction factor for height:
