General
The design of flange connections is performed following Petersen Stahlbau, 2nd edition, p. 506 et seq. and p. 952 et seq.
The calculation is based on the analysis of the maximum tensile stress on the pipe and/or the tension plate.
Service strength verification as per DIN 4133
If the service strength verification is performed, the stress calculated from the effects of actions is considered as alternating stress and compared to the permissible values for the service strength: max Δσ ≤ ΔσR
The user can pre-set these values as a reference for the service strength ΔσA of the construction detail in accordance with the notch class as per table 1 of DIN 4133 for the screws, the reinforcing steel, the base, the flange, the webs, the pipe and the annular stiffener.
The factor n for the calculation of the service strength ΔσR is determined by the alternating stress values and the boundary conditions as per DIN 4133, Annex B, Item 3 and must be specified.
ΔσR=ΔσA × n as per eq. (B.3) DIN 4133
For plate thicknesses t > 25 mm, ΔσR can be reduced in accordance with eq. (B.4) in DIN 4133.
Flange design
The flange design is based on Petersen Stahlbau, 2nd edition, p. 953 et seq., “Laschenstöße – Flanschstöße”, or p. 506 et seq., “Stirnplatten und Flanschverbindungen”.
