Stability Analysis for Steel
The “Stability Analysis for Steel” program is used to perform stability verifications for single-part members with fork supports based on the equivalent member method.
Only available in FRILO Ultimate
Core capabilities
Material
- Structural steel (S235, S275, S355, S450)
- Annealed steel (S275N to S460N)
- Thermo-steel (S275M to S460M)
- Weathering steel (S235W to S355W)
- High-temperature steel (S460Q to S460QL1)
- Hollow section, hot-finished (S235H to S355H)
- Hollow section, hot-finished, fine-grain (S275NH to S460NH)
- User-defined steel
Structural system
Available systems:
- Statically determined, fork-mounted single-span beam
Cross-sections:
- I-sections, I-sections with inclined flange, rectangular and circular hollow sections as standard shapes or user-defined sections
Supports:
- Rigid or elastic supports at both ends
- Rotational springs about the y-axis and about the x-axis can be defined at the member ends
- The effective length can be pre-set
Loads
- Definition of the actions via the design internal forces
- Axial compressive force
- Moments about the y-axis and about the x-axis at one or both ends of the member and in the span at any point x
Structural safety
Either the elastic or plastic cross-sectional resistance is verified. Furthermore, the verification of the system’s load-bearing capacity is performed using the equivalent member method either in accordance with section 6.3.3 Annex A or B or with section 6.3.4.
