Weld Design

• 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

Cross-sections:

• I-sections, half I-sections, U-sections, T-sections, square, rectangular and circular hollow sections, angular, round, square and flat steel sections as standard shapes
• Double T-sections, unequal double T-sections, rectangular and circular hollow sections, rectangular solid sections, U-sections, round steel sections, angular steel sections with equal and unequal legs as user-defined shapes

Weld seams:

• Depending on the selected section the most appropriate welding pattern is proposed
• The length and thickness of the weld seams is editable
• The suggested weld seam thickness is the smallest possible value that can be realised in construction

• Design internal forces from axial force, moment (My, Mz) and shear force (Vy, Vz)
• Multiple combinations of design internal forces can be entered

Either the elastic or plastic cross-sectional resistance of the steel section is verified in accordance with EN 1993-1-1. For the verification of the weld seam, the user can select whether the simplified or directional method as per EN 1993-1-8 should be used.
