9.32.4 Verification of columns

The most unfavorable column CD is examined.

Design axial load

NEd = V1 +V2 = 36 + 6.95 = 43 kN

Shear force
VEd = H1 + H2 = 6.82 + 4.63 = 11.5 kN

9.32.4.1 Flexural buckling in the plane of the frame

Buckling length 5.2.2(7b)

Since αcr > 10 the buckling length of columns is taken equal to the height of the
floor.
