AS 5100 (2017) Errors and omissions update (Unofficial)

Description

The option is accessed through File | Options | Preferences in the Main Menu.

This Preferences option activates a number of fixes to address errors and omissions in Australian Standards 2017 Amendment 1. Note that these have not been made official design code submissions at the time of the software release.

This list details the changes that this option will enable:

• 8.2.1.2 Consideration of torsion

  σ_cp = stress at the centroid of the cross section, or at the junction of the web and flange when the centroid lies inside the flange due to prestress and axial force.

  p_c changed to u_c in equation 8.2.1.2(2) and 8.2.1.2(3)

• 8.2.1.6(a) Requirements for transverse shear reinforcement

  Parentheses removed and shear depth factor f introduced, where f=0.5 for d_v ≥ 0.6m, and f=1.0 for d_v ≤ 0.3m .

  V* > fϕV_uc + P_v

• 8.2.3.1 Design shear strength of a beam

  Applied shear V* used in place of equivalent factored shear force V*_eq:

  ϕV_u ≥ V*

• 8.2.3.3 Shear strength limited by web crushing

  P_v removed from the equation 8.2.3.3(1) and 8.2.3.3(2).

• 8.2.4.4 Determination of ε_x for combined shear and torsion

  Equation 8.2.4.4(3) revised to:

  M* ≥ ( V* - P_v ) d_v
