Design Example
A braced slender column of dimensions 300 mm x 450 mm carry an axial load of
1700 kN and end moments of 70 kNm and 10 kNm at ultimate limit state. This
load and moments induced a double curvature about x-axis as shown below. The
effective heights are lex = 6.75m and ley = 8.0 m . The characteristic strength of
materials are fcu = 30 N/mm2 and fy = 460 N/mm2.
