Use this dialog to define buckling length of members for the Russian code SP16.13330.2017.
Access
- Click the Buckling length coefficient Y or Z button in the Member Definitions - Parameters dialog.
Dialog elements
Select one of the icons with the appropriate end support to automatically specify the buckling length coefficient.
- Typical buckling types
- Typical buckling types are based on the code methods of member support and their corresponding buckling coefficient values.
- Buckling coefficients
,
,
- Buckling coefficients are used for the calculation of columns of multi-story frames. They can be used for one, three and six adjoining members.
Note: Click any of the buckling length coefficient icons to open the Adjoining Member Parameters dialog.
- Ignore buckling
- Select this icon to ignore the buckling effects during the calculation process.
Note: If you don't select this option, buckling is always considered during the calculations when a compressive force acts on a member, even if it is negligible in relation to other internal forces.
- Automatic buckling length
- Calculates the buckling length of a column according to the automatic procedure
- Internal bracings
- Opens the Internal bracings dialog, which allows you to define the parameters of lateral stiffening.
- This option allows you to consider bars with internal bracings during the calculations. Internal bracings include: lateral stiffening of the analyzed bars, or limiting the buckling length.
