For the input of database cross sections are used parameters measured in meters [m]. For the designation of database cross sections are used values in millimeters [mm].
Dimensions [m] |
Designation [mm] |
Circular hollow sections (CHS):
|
N hnom / tw (hnom = h) for tapered section: N hnom / tw (hB - hE)
where: N - symbol of database AVB hot rolled circular hollow section (CHS) hnom - nominal height [mm] h - height [mm] tw - web thickness [mm] hB - begin height of tapered section [mm] hE - end height of tapered section [mm] |
Rectangular hollow sections (RHS):
|
for rectangular section: KW hnom / b / t (hnom = h; t = tw = tf) for square section: KW hnom / t (hnom = h = b; t = tw = tf) for tapered rectangular section: KW hnom / b / t (hB - hE) for tapered square section: KW hnom / t (hB - hE)
where: KW - symbol of database AVB hot rolled rectangular hollow section (RHS) hnom - nominal height [mm] h - height [mm] b - width [mm] t - thickness [mm] tw - web thickness [mm] tf - flange thickness [mm] hB - begin height of tapered section [mm] hE - end height of tapered section [mm] |
