Weld steel material name is used for code check calculation and supported by EN 1993-1-1#Table 3.1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1993-1-1#3.1. Weld steel list depend on chosen code or/and national annex.
Unity checks for column base, in case of dominant compression or in case of dominant tension force N3, will be performed in different way. Column base calculations will be performed according to NEN-EN 1993-1-8#6.2.8 requirements. Calculations are based on the T-stub model and the effective column base plate area. The component method will be used for such calculations. In case of the tension force N3, prying forces will be not taken into account, because of an unclear prying force developing mechanism in the boundary between steel plate and concrete of foundation or grout layer NEN-EN 1993-1-8#6.2.6.12.
Proposal is used for determining the optimal logical values of parameters and measurements of the structure elements as well as the optimal arrangement of these elements from geometrical point of view (not based on UC's). Proposal offers the optimal allowed modification of the construction model by making any necessary changes to the data entered by the user.
