1.1 Eurocode 2
The longitudinal reinforcement calculation is based on the design assumptions outlined in § 4.2.1.3.3;
the following rectangular stress block is used.
The modulus of elasticity:
Values in Code Table 3.2 are used.
Es = 200 kN/mm² (§ 3.2.4.3)
The stress in reinforcement is calculated as Es · strain, but not greater than f yd.
Refer to:
Beams
Columns
Beams - seismic
Columns - seismic
1.1.1 Beams
The beam design procedure includes:
calculation of moment and shear envelopescalculation of redistributed moments and reduced shear (option)
calculation of reinforcement steel areas
calculation of links with variable spacing or bent-up bars with constant links
check of allowable deflections
Note that axial forces are ignored by the program.
Moment redistr ibut ion (optional):
Moments in continuous beams are redistributed as permitted in § 5.5, according to the following
guidelines:
The support moments in the envelope are reduced up to the maximum percentage specified by the
user, but not less than the minimum percentage specified.
The maximum span moments in the envelope remain constant or are decreased (unless the minimumredistribution requirement forces an increase in the span moment, which will generally occur in
exterior spans with stiff columns).
The shear forces in the spans are adjusted so as to maintain equilibrium of forces and moments.
For beams with columns, the moment transferred by the beam into the column before and after
redistribution is constant. This prevents redistribution in the columns and maintains equilibrium in
loading cases with horizontal loads.
Note that the program checks that the redistribution percentage does not exceed the allowable (§ 5.5)
after the reinforcement is calculated, and displays warnings if required.

Longi tudinal re inforcem ent:
For the calculation of reinforcement for beams with moment and axial force , refer to slab reinforcement
.
Minimum reinforcement:min = As,min / Ac = 0.26 (f ctm /f yk) but not less than 0.0013 (Eq. 9.1N)
where:
Ac = b`d for rectangular sections and T-sections with the flange in compression
Ac = bw d + (bf - bw) tf for T-sections with the flange in tension
Maximum reinforcement is limited to 4%. (§ 9.2.1.1 - 3)
Rectangular beams:
Referring to the following Figure, the reinforcement area is calculated as follows:
As = M / f yd z
K = M / b d² f ck
The maximum depth of the compression block is defined by:
for f ck
50
(x/d) max = ( - k1) / k2 (Eq. 5.10a)
for f ck
> 50
(x/d) max = ( - k3) / k4 (Eq. 5.10b)
where:
= the ratio of the moment after redistribution to the moment before redistribution.
k1,k2,k3,k4 are defined by the user in the Files - Setup option
Rearranging, the compression block is at its maximum when:for f
ck 50
K = K' =cc
[k2( - k1) - 0.5 ( - k1)²] / k22
c
for f ck
> 50
K = K' =cc
[k4( - k3) - 0.5 ( - k3)²] / k42

With no redistribution:

K = K' = 0.196 (for the default values of cc
, , etc in the Code)
for f ck
> 50
K = K' is also dependent on the value of f cu
If K > K' compression reinforcement is required and is calculated from:
A's = (K - K') f ck bd² / f yd (d`-d')
As = (`K' f ck bd² / f yd z) + A's
Tee beams:
compression block entirely in flange: designed as rectangular beams.
compression block in web:
As = Asf + Asw
where:
Asf = Cf / (f yd)
Cf = f cd tf (b - bw)
Mf = Cf ( d - tf / 2 )
Mw = M - Mf
and
Asw is calculated from Mw as outlined for rectangular sections.
The maximum resistance moment of the concrete without compression reinforcement is:
Mc = K' f cu bw d² + f cd (b-bw ) (d - hf /2) tf
where K' was derived for rectangular sections.
Shear Reinforcement:
The shear stress at the face of the support is reduced to the value at a distance 'd' from the face, as
specified in § 6.2.1(8). (optional)
Links only (variable spacing) - Truss Method: (§ 6.2.3)
VRd,s = (Asw /s)z f ywd cot (6.8)VRd,max = bw z 1 f cd / (cot + tan ) (6.9)
The program selects the maximum value of cot so that VRd,s does not exceed VRd,max
1 = 0.6(1.0 - f ck/250) (6.6N)
w,min = (0.08 f ck)/f yk (9.5N)
The program ignores axial forces when designing for shear.

Torsion:
Torsion reinforcement is calculated according to Section 6.3 of the Code.
The torsion force is always assumed by the program to be carried by the rectangular web of the beam:
The following terms are used:
The program calculates the torsion reinforcement as follows:
Transverse reinforcement (stirrups)
(6.28)
Longitudinal reinforcement:
Combined shear and torsion:
torsion is ignored if :
(TEd /TRd,c) + (VEd /VRd,c) 1.0 (6.31)
TRd,c = f ctd tef 2Ak (6.26)
VRd,c = [Crd,c(k)(100 1f ck)1/3
] bwd (6.2a)k = 1 + (200/d) < 2.0 (d in mm)
Crd,c = 0.18/ c (0.18 may be modified in the Setup option)
VRd,c,min = (Vmin)bwd (6.2b)
Vmin = 0.035 k3/2 f ck
1/2 (6.3N) (0.035 may be modified in the Setup option)
The program checks the following interaction diagram:
(TEd /TRd,max) + (VEd /VRd,max) 1.0 (6.29)
TRd,max = f cd tef 2Ak 0.5 (6.30)

Slenderness:
A column is considered as short when:
x < lim and y < lim (5.13N)
where:
= lo / i (5.14)
lo = k·l (5.8.3.2)
k = defined by the user

Note:
is calculated separately for both directions. If the column is slender in one direction and short in
the other, the column is considered as slender.

The initial end moments are MoEd = MEd + NEd e i NEd eo
The total design moment MEd = MoEd + M2 (Eq. 5.31)
where M2 = is the additional 2nd-order moment
The user may define the additional moment (as a magnifier factor) in each of the two major directions or
specify that the program calculate the value automatically.
The program calculates the additional moment as follows:
M2 = NEd e2 (Eq. 5.33)
e2 = lo² / 10 (1/r) (5.8.8.2-3)
where:
1/r = Kr K (1/r o) (Eq. 5.34)

For both short and slender columns the imperfection moment (ei) and additional moments (eo) are
superimposed on the design moments as follows:
Braced columns:
The initial moment at the point of maximum additional moment is calculated as:
for columns not subject to transverse loading:
Moe = 0.6 Mo2 + 0.4 Mo1 0.4 Mo2 (5.32)
where:
Mo2 = larger factored end moment
Mo1 = smaller factored end moment
for columns subject to transverse loading:
Moe = maximum moment.
The additional moment has an approximately parabolic shape; refer to the figure below.
Unbraced columns:
The additional moment is assumed to be distributed approximately linearly over the height of the
column, with Madd applied at both ends in a manner that increases the moment at these section.
The following figure shows an example for a slender column consisting of one STRAP member, braced inthe M2 direction and unbraced in the M3 direction. The design moments at top/middle/bottom are
superimposed on the moment diagrams.
Load condi t ion s:
The program calculates design moments at three locations in each column - top, middle and bottom. In
slender columns, the additional moment is calculated and the initial moments are modified as explained
above.
If the column is subject to transverse loads, the middle moment is taken as the maximum moment along

the span, but not less than 0.6·M2 + 0.4·M1
The three design moments are calculated separately for the M2 and M3 moments (M2/M3 refer to the
STRAP results). The program then checks the capacity for all three locations, i.e.
top: Ptop, M2,top, M3,top
middle: max(Ptop,Pbot), M2,mid, M3,mid
bottom: Pbot, M2,bot, M3,bot
Columns are designed either for uniaxial bending or biaxial bending
space frame columns with moments about both axes are always designed for biaxial bending
plane frame columns or space frame columns with moments about one axis are designed for uniaxial
bending if:
x / y 2 and y / x 2 (5.38a) and -
(ey /heq)/(ex /beq) 0.2 or (ex /beq)/(ey /heq) 0.2 (5.38b)
Uniaxia l bendin g :
The program adds additional moments to the M3 moments, and create separate load conditions with
the minimum M2 moments, where both positive and negative values are generated (important for
unsymmetric sections).
For example:
M2i M3i M2 M3
0.0 15.7 0.0 15.7
-7.3 0.0
7.3 0.0
Biaxial bending :
The program checks for design moments about both axes; if the moments equal zero about one axis,
the program designs the column as for plane frames.
The program adds additional moments simultaneously about both axes.
In many cases, two or more STRAP members may be combined to form a column. In addition, the
support locations in the M2 and M3 directions may not be identical.
The program searches for supports at the nodes in either direction and defines "design spans". Each
"design span" is calculated separately. For example:
In each design span, the program creates the combinations of M2 and M3 moments at top/middle/
bottom of the span. The object is to ensure that the program creates a load situation that includes the
-

maximum moments.
The program calculates the additional moment for the combined span. It then checks whether one of the
ends is in the middle third of the combined span. If yes, the program uses the additional moment at
that end and at the middle. If both ends are outside the middle third, the program uses the actual
moments.
Referring to the example in the Figure above, it calculates the load situations as follows:
Span A:
Design Design moment
Location M2 M3
Top Mtop or
Mtop-Madd/2.
Mi+Madd
Middle Mi+Madd Mi+Madd
Bottom Mbottom+Madd/2. Mbottom+Madd/2.
Tension:
Columns with a tension axial force are always designed as short columns.
The capacity of a column in pure tension is equal to As·f yd.
The capacity of columns with combined tension and bending is calculated identically to that of column
with combined compression and bending.
Shear:
The program searches for the load case with (V - VRd,c)max
VRd,c is calculated according to Equation (6.2a):
VRd,c = [Crd,c(k)(100 1f ck)1/3 + k1 cp ] bwd
where:
bwd = gross area for round sections (from ACI).
As = 0.5 As for1
k1 : defined by the user in the Files - Setup option.
k = 1 + (200/d) < 2.0 (d in mm)

1.1.5 Seismic - Columns
Column seismic moments and shears are calculated as explained in Seismic - general, except for the
following:
Bending moments:
Referring to EC8 - 2.1.1.1, the program assumes that1 = 1.00. Therefore, the sum of the beamcapacity moments at a joint are distributed to the columns above and below according to the ratio of
the design moments in the columns (instead of the relative stiffness)
Shear:
Referring to EC8 - 2.8.1.1.2 - Equation (2.24), the program assumes that MCRd = MDRd = the
maximum seismic design moment in the column (calculated from the beam capacities as explained
above), rather than the actual resisting moment of the column.

1.1.6 Punching
The program calculates the punching stress and reinforcement according to EC2 (2002) Sect ion 6.4 -
"Punching"
The program calculates the area of single- or multiple-leg stirrup type slab shear reinforcement:
The program assumes that the distance between the radial lines of shear reinforcement at the control
perimeter is always less than 2d.
vRd,c, the punching shear resistance provided by the concrete in slabs reinforcement, is calculated as
follows:
The shear is checked at the basic control perimeter at 2d from the face of the column, as follows:
Centre column : u1, according to Section 6.4.2.
Edge column : u1*, according to Figure 6.20a
Corner column : u1*, according to Figure 6.20b
When vEd > vRd,c , shear reinforcement is calculated from the equation:
where:
s is always assumed = d/2
Av = the cross sectional area of all legs on one peripheral line that is geometrically s imilar to the
perimeter of the column section, i.e. the sum of the vertical legs of stirrups 1,2,3 and 4 in the
figure above.

Edge column, moment about both axes (towards interior):
Corner column (moments towards interior):
= u1 /u1* (6.48)
Edge/corner column, moment towards exterior:
uout, the 'control perimeter' at which shear reinforcement is no longer required, is calculated from:
The program also checks that adjacent to the column:
1.1.7 Slab deflections
The deflections are calculated using on the effective moment of inertia, Ie, according to section 7.4.3 and
equations(7.18) and (7.19) in the Code.
For each selected deflection combination the program calculates Ie for each element in both directions,
based on the elastic moments, thereby creating new orthotropic elements with the effective properties.
The program then solves the model again to determine the slab deflection.

1.1.8 Slab reinforcement
This section describes the calculation method for reinforced concrete elements, beams and walls with
combined moment and axial force.
Rectangular sections : The stress block for the case of bending only is:
where:
Md = design moment. The value may be the STRAP moment or the Wood & Armer moment
(elements)
Mcd = the moment corresponding to the Code compression block height in pure bending.

For the general case:
Nd = design axial force. The value may be the STRAP force or the Wood & Armer force
(elements).
Transposing the axial force to the tension steel level:
Reinforcement:
There are three design cases:
Section in tension and compression:
Msd > Mcd
M = Msd - Mcd
A's = M/(d - d') 0.87f y
As = A's + Mcd /(zmin·0.87f y) - Nd /0.87f y

As = Msd / (1 - 0.5 )·d·0.87f y - Nd /0.87f y
Entire section in tension:
where: e = Md /Nd
Entire section in compression
the program initially checks where the concrete capacity is sufficient for equilibrium. If so,
reinforcement is not required and only minimum reinforcement is provided.
the program then tries to provide reinforcement only at the face with the greater compression. If
equilibrium of forces and moments cannot be satisfied -
the program provides reinforcement at both faces.
Note:
all sections are designed for minimum eccentricity
for small loads the program calculates the reinforcement based on an elastic stress distribution.

1.2 Eurocode 2 - Post-tensioned beams
The program designs the beams according to Eurocode 2, April 2002.
Losses
Ultimate moment
Shear
Deflections
1.2.1 Losses
Frict ion L oss:
The losses due to friction, Pu(x), are calculated according to:
(5.45)
The loss consists of two components:
where:Pmax =prestressing force in the tendon at the jacking end
=the coefficients of friction, defined by the user
=cumulative angle in radians through which the tangent to the cable profile has turned, between
the jack and the current point.
x =distance from the jack
If the user specified that the program use the estimate, then
where:
a different estimate may be specified for wobble and curvature loss.
x = distance along the strand from the point where P = Pmax
L = Strand length
Note:
losses are calculated for a specific time "t" . The number of strands jacked up to "t" and the
percentage of jacking force are defined by the user in the "jacking sequence" option.
Elast ic shortenin g loss:
Elastic losses result from the instantaneous deformation of the concrete when the prestressing force is
applied. In posttensioned beams, a cable is shortened by the subsequent jacking of other cables in the
beam, i.e. there is no elastic shortening loss if all cables are jacked simultaneously.
In the following example, cable 'i' is jacked after cable 'j'.
The stress in the concrete at level 'j' due to the jacking of cable 'i' is:
22

8/20/2019 STRAP Eurocode
23/52
Codes - Eurocode 23
© ATIR Engineering Software Ltd.
The loss of force in cable 'j" is:
where:
Pi = the initial force in cable 'i', after friction losses
Ac,Ic = Area and moment-of-inertia of the concrete section
Es,Ec = modulus-of-elasticity of cable 'j' and the concrete
A j = the area of cable 'j'
Note:
If the user specified that the program use the estimate for elastic shortening, then
Prior to solving the model, the program calculates Pi = (jacking force - friction loss estimate). The
elastic shortening loss in cables in other beams in the model is not calculated.
When the model is solved, a load case is created for each cable; the axial force result for this case is
equal to the axial force solution from the relevant STRAP load case less the friction loss and this value
is used to calculate the elastic shortening loss. The elastic shortening loss for cables in other beamsis also calculated because the axial loads in the entire model are calculated for each cable load case.
'draw-in' losses are considered as a post-transfer loss and are not subtracted from the jacking force
when calculating Pi.
Ec = Ec(28) for all times = 't',
Draw-in lo ss:
Draw-in loss is calculated taking into account the friction losses along the strand:
The program creates a mirror image of the cable force diagram at the jacking end. The loss is
calculated from
where:
P = the shaded area in the diagram above
= the draw-in length specified by the user.
Note:
If the user specified that the program use the estimate for draw-in loss, then
if a cable is jacked several times (jacking sequence), the draw in losses of the previous jacking are
eliminated by the subsequent jacking.
Tim e depend ent lo sses - General:
Time dependent losses are calculated by the 'time-step' method whereby the losses are calculated at
the end of each time step and the prestressing force is reduced accordingly for the next time step.
-
8/20/2019 STRAP Eurocode
24/52
Codes - EU 24
© ATIR Engineering Software Ltd.
Note that the losses at the end of any time step are calculated relative to time at jacking to; therefore
the loss between steps tm and tn is P(tn,to) - P(tm ,to)
The time-dependent losses - creep, shrinkage and relaxation - are not independent of each other; the
total time dependent loss is calculated according to Code equation (5-46):
where:
= relaxation and shrinkage at location x, at time t.the absolute value of the variation of stress in
the cables due to creep, and all other symbols are defined in the Code.
cs, Ct and f re are calculated as follows:
Shrin k age loss:
There are three options available in the program for calculating the shrinkage loss - the 'Code method'
and two general code independent methods:
Code method:
The shrinkage loss is calculated as:
Pshr (t) = sh Ep Ap (f,user )
where:
= the shrinkage strain calculated according to Eq.(3.8):
=
= the drying shrinkage strain, calculated according to Eq. (B-11).
= the autogenous shrinkage strain, calculated according to Eq. (3-11).
The strain may be modified by a user defined factor.
Alternate method 1:
The user defines the total shrinkage strain eshr,tot and the time (in days) when one-half of the total
strain occurs = t0.5. The shrinkage loss is calculated as:
Alternate method 2:
The user defines the total shrinkage strain eshr,tot and a constant value Cst. The shrinkage loss is
calculated as:
Creep lo ss:
There are three options available in the program for calculating the creep coefficient - the 'Code method'
and two general code independent methods:
Code method:
The general creep coefficient is calculated as:
(B.1)where:
all values are calculated according to equations(B.2) to (B.10), i.e. including the influence of cement
type, humidity, etc.
t = time when creep is calculated (days) from beam casting
to = time when load was applied (days), from beam casting
The coefficient may be modified by a user defined factor.
Alternate method 1:
The user defines the total creep factor Cu (total/elastic strain) and the time (in days) when one-half of

the total creep occurs = t0.5. The creep coefficient is calculated as:
Alternate method 2:
The user defines the total creep factor Cu (total/elastic strain) and the value of the expression in thefollowing equation. The creep coefficient is calculated as:
Relaxatio n lo ss:
pr at time 't' is calculated according to Equations (3.30) and (3.31) for ordinary and low-relaxation
prestressing steel, respectively.
The value of 1000, (relaxation loss at 1000 hours), may be specified according to one of the following
methods:User-defined value (e.g. when certificate is available)
Code recommended values, from Section 3.3.2(6).
The user specifies the total relaxation loss at 500,000 hours; the program then calculates 1000 from
equations (3.30) and (3.31).
1.2.2 Shear
The program calculates the shear capacity at the time requested for every point along the length of the
beam:
the effective cable forces are calculated taking into account the losses and jacking sequence at the
time requested.
at each point along the length of the beam the capacity is checked at the centre-of-gravity of thesection and at any point on the section height where there is a jump in section width; the maximum
value only is displayed for each point.
The program first calculates the cracking moment, Mcr :
Mcr = Wfull f ten + Mo
where:
Wfull = modified elastic modulus, taking into account the shift of the center-of-gravity of the section
due to the cables and regular reinforcement.
f ten = f ctk0.5 / c
Mo = pty Wfull
pty = stress from the cables at the tension face of the section
The shear capacity is calculated as follows:
uncracked sections (M < Mcr)
where:
cp = N/Ac < 0.2f cd
cracked sections (M Mcr)
where:

CRd,c = 0.18/ c
k = 1 + (200/d) 2
= As /bd 0.02
(VRd,c)min = (vmin + 0.15 cp)bwd (6.2.b)
VRd,max = cw bw z f cd (cot + tan ) (6.9)
where:
cw : from Eq. (6.11)
= 0.6 (1 - f ck /250) (6.6)
The program calculates shear reinforcement when V > Vc
Inclined strut method:
The reinforcement is calculated from the equations:
VRd,s = (Asw /s) z f ywd cot (6.8)
VRd,max = cw bw z f cd (cot + tan ) (6.9)
standard method:
(Asw /s) = (V - Vc) / (0.9d f ywd)
Note:
Shear capacity is compared to the design shear only for those combinations defined as "Factored" or
"Service & factored".
The program adds/subtracts the vertical component of the cable force to the shear capacity.
1.2.3 Ultimate moment
The program calculates the ultimate moment capacity at the time requested for every point along the
length of the beam, based on the stress-strain parameters defined by the Code.
where:
= 0.8 f ck 50 MPa (3.19)
= 0.8 - (f ck - 50)/400 f ck > 50 MPa (3.20)
= 1.0 f ck 50 MPa (3.21)
= 1.0 - (f ck - 50)/200 f ck > 50 MPa (3.22)
ecu3 from Table 3.1cc = 1 (3.1.6)
c = 1.5 (Table 2.1N)
s = 1.15 (Table 2.1N)
s,max = 0.02
The neutral axis location at equilibrium is calculated by an iterative procedure:
the program calculates the contribution of the concrete and tension/compression cables and regular
reinforcement, each cable and bar according to its eccentricity.

losses and section properties are calculated for the specified point in time, considering only that
cables that have already been jacked.
maximum concrete strain is assumed at the compression face and the strains in the cables and
reinforcement are calculated assuming a linear distribution.
For bonded cables, the stress is calculated from the stress-strain diagram defined in "Parameters".
For unbonded cables, the program calculates effective stress, plus stress increase for the ultimatecondition, defined by the user in "Parameters".
Note:
Ultimate moment capacity is compared to the design moment only for those combinations defined as
"Factored" or "Service & factored".
1.2.4 Deflections
The displacements are calculated based on effective moment-of-inertia values at each point.
For long-term deflections, the deflections at each 'step' are calculated according to the cable forces at
that step.
Deflection due to cable forces are calculated based on the losses at the time the deflections are
calculated.Changes in supports at certain stages change the boundary conditions of those stages for integration
of the curvature along the beam.
Imm ediate deflect ion:
the program calculates the moment-of-inertia for the full section, using modified properties due to
cables and regular reinforcement.
the program calculates the cracked moment-of-inertia using an iterative method to determine the
center-of gravity location and equilibrium condition ( C = T) at each point. A linear stress distribution
over the height of the section is assumed because the service limit state is checked.
The program first calculates the cracking moment, Mcr :
Mcr = Wfull f ten + Mo
where:
Wfull = modified elastic modulus, taking into account the shift of the center-of-gravity of the sectiondue to the cables and regular reinforcement.
f ten = f ctm (Table 3.1)
Mo = 0.90 pty Wfull bonded (5.10.9)
0.95 pty Wfull unbonded
pty = stress from the cables at the tension face of the section
The program then calculates an effective curvature, Ceff , at every point along the beam, where Ceff =
M/EIeff
for M < Mcr : Ceff = Cfull
for M > Mcr : Ceff = Cfull Ccr
where:
M = Mloads + Mcable
Cfull = curvature for the uncracked sectionCr = curvature for the cracked section
The curvature is integrated twice, using the supports at each stage to compute the deflection.
Lon g-term deflect ion:
The program sums up the deflections for different stages. For each stage it searches for the
combination that gives the maximum creep. Only "service" or "Factored and service" combinations are
considered. The program takes into account that supports may be added/removed at different stages.

The design is modified by the "UK National Annex to Eurocode 3" if the Annex is selected by the user inthe STRAP main menu Setup - Miscellaneous - Code factors option.
1.3.1 Classification of sections
Referring to Tables 5.2, the program determines the classification of every member for each combination
as follows:
in the case of biaxial bending, the program classifies the section according to "minor axis", which
always governs.
when calculating , the program assumes that the section is fully stressed and that the part of fy not
resulting from the actual axial force is caused by bending moments.

in a "Combined beam", the program calculates the classification for each segment and uses the worst
case.
in a tapered beam, the program calculates the classification at each end and uses the worst case.
Effective Cross-sectio n Prop erties of Class 4 Sectio ns: - § 6.2.2.5
The effective cross section properties of Class 4 sections are calculated using the effective widths of the
compression elements. Referring to EN 1993-1-5:
and k is calculated according to section type as follows:
The program calculates Aeff , Weff and the eccentricities enx, eny based on the reduced cross sectionproperties.
1.3.2 Strength of steel
The program allows design with all steel grades (Fe360, 430, 510, Fe E 275, Fe E 355) - a different
grade may be assigned to each member.
The program calculates the design strength, f y, for various thicknesses according to Table 3.1.

The shear limit state is calculated as follows:
where Av is calculated as:
For tapered sections, the program calculates Fv and Av at 20 intervals along the member length
Note:
the program does not check shear buckling resistance of sections with thin webs (d/t > 69 )
according to EN 1993-1-5.
1.3.4 Bending
The program calculates all result values at: - 1/10 of span intervals, and at points of intermediate
supports. For tapered sections or combined beams with different properties, the program uses the
actual section at each point.
Note:the program does no t check built-up sections with thin webs (d/t > 69 ) according to EN 1993-1-5.
Moment Capacity with Low Shear Load (VEd 0.5·Vpl,Rd) - § 6.2.5
The moment capacity is calculated according to section classification as required by the Code.
Class 1 or Class 2 sections: Mc = Wpl f y / MO
Class 3 sections: Mc = Wel f y / MO
Class 4 sections: Mc = Weff f y / M1
where:
Wpl = plastic section modulus
Wel = elastic section modulus
Weff = effective section modulus, calculated as per § 5.3.5.
For T-sections (major axis bending) and [-sections (minor axis bending), the program uses the value of
Wel calculated using the larger distance from the centre-of-gravity of the sect ion.
Moment Capacity with High Shear Load (VEd > 0.5·Vpl,Rd) - § 6.2.8

1.3.5 Lateral-torsional buckling
Lateral-torsional buckling is calculated individually for each segment between intermediate supports, and
separately along the top and bottom flanges.
The designer can specify the exact location of intermediate supports for each member.
The effective length of individual segments for LTB is calculated according to the 'k' value specified by the
user in the "End Conditions" option of the Postprocessor.
The program checks that:

equations in Annex F of the 1992 version of EC3:
where:
C1, C2 and C3 are calculated from Tables F.1.1, F.1.2 (see below) based on the bending momentdiagram shape factor
warping factor kw = 1 (§ F.1.2 (4))
for I, RHS and Pipe sections: Z j = 0
for T sections: Z j is calculated according to F.1.4 (2)
If the flange direction of T,[ sections is not defined, or if a destabilizing load is defined, the program
specifies the sign of Zg such that the value of Mcr is decreased.
Referring to Table F.1.2, the program automatically determines whether a member is loaded in the
segment between adjacent intermediate supports. Members with a maximum Note that if you COMBINE
a series of unloaded members which have individual bending moment diagrams of varying slopes, the
program will consider the COMBINED beam as "loaded".
Unloaded segments: C2 = 0
Loaded segments:
Only the first two diagrams from Table F.1.2 are used to calculate C1, C2 and C3. For more general
bending moment diagrams, the program estimates which of the two cases is closer to the actual
shape, based on the end moment values.
1.3.6 Axial force - compression
The compression capacity of a member is calculated as per § 6.3.1, but not greater than the value
calculated in § 6.3.4.
NSd X A A f y / M1
but:
A f y / M0 (Class 1, 2 and 3 sections)
Aeff f y / M1 (Class 4 sections)
where:
A = 1 for Class 1, 2 and 3 sections
A = Aeff /A for Class 4 sections
Table 5.5.3 is used to determine which buckling curve in Table 6.1 is applicable, according to the
buckling axis, thickness and section type.
Slenderness = kl/r :
The program may be instructed to calculate kx and ky, the effective length factors, according to
Appendix E or the values may be input directly by the designer (a default value of 1.00 is assumed by
the program for all members).
Tapered members or combined beams with different properties:
The program calculates the exact Euler buckling load for the member and then finds an equivalent
length l1 for a member with the minimum area which gives the same Euler buckling load. The
minimum area and the length l1 are used in all the equations.

0.7 · Lx /r vv + 15 " "
0.7 · Ly /r vv + 15 " "
where kx and ky are defined by the user - normally 0.85 or 1.00, depending on the connection
condition in § 4.7.10.2 (a) and (b).
Double Angle Struts - § 4.7.10.3
Slenderness is the maximum of
kx · Lx/rxx

1.4 c (§ 4.7.9c)
All four conditions are checked even if the member if not defined as "pinned" at both ends.
c is calculated for a single angle (using r vv). When calculating c, the program assumes Lc = L/3 to
comply with the requirement that the member should be divided into at least three segments (§
4.7.13.1e) and ( c) max = 50.
Single Channel Struts - § 4.7.10.4
Slenderness is the maximum of
kx · Lx/rxx
ky · Ly /r yy
where kx,ky are defined by the user.

Effective Length is the maximum of
kx · Lx/rxx

where kx,ky are defined by the user.
Note that the third condition is applied only if the member was defined as "pinned" at both ends.

Tension capacity is calculated as:
NEd A f y / M0 (6.6)
0.9 Anet f y / M2 (6.7)

Sections other than I, H or hollow: Class 1 and Class 2 sections are designed as Class 3 sections.
1.3.9 Deflections
The deflection check is a Serviceability calculation so the program uses the user-defined load
combinations without multiplying the elastic deflections by the load factors.
When checking the maximum deflection along the span of the member, the program ignores the
deflection of the end nodes, except in cantilevers where the maximum deflection is calculated at the free
end (unsupported node).
Maximum allowable deflections per member must be entered by the designer (a default value may be
specified).
Note:
The deflections calculated in the results are based on the section input in STRAP geometry. When
checking a different section, the Postprocessor modifies the deflection value by Inew /Iold, where:
Inew = moment-of-inertia of section being checked.
Iold = moment-of-inertia of STRAP geometry property.
When checking deflections of a "combined" beam, the program uses the length of the entire
combined beam and ignores any possible deflection support at the combined nodes. If such supports
exists, the allowable deflection parameter should be modified accordingly.
the program ignores intermediate supports (buckling and lateral-torsional) when checking deflections.
1.3.10 Castellated/cellular beams
The design is based on the following publication:
Large Web Openings for Service Integration in Composite Floors

Flexural buck l ing:
The appropriate buckling curve is determined from Table 6.2 according to the section type and axis of
buckling. The relative slenderness about the x and y axis is determined as follows:
l = buckling length for flexural buckling about the relevant axes (lx or ly)
i = radius of inertia about the corresponding axes (ix or iy), based on the properties of the gross
section
The relevant slenderness is calculated as follows:
} (6.4a)
where:

= elastic critical stress for torsional buckling, determined from 6.5a
= elastic critical stress for torsional-flexural buckling, calculated for all open section types
(symmetric and non-symmetric) by solving the following equation from the AISI Cold-Formed
Steel Manual (Part III, Supplementary Information - Section 4):
xo,yo = the distances from the centroid to the shear centre along the x,y axes of the
section
r o = polar radius of inertia of the section about the shear centre
The program first searches for the longest segment between axial supports and calculates ex
for this segment. It then searches for the longest segment defined for LTB (i.e. between +z
and/or -z supports) that overlaps (even partially) the critical axial force segment and calculates
t.
1.4.2 Axial force - tension
The program checks that the applied tension force does not exceed the design tension resistance of the
cross-section, calculated according to 5.2:
where:
Nsd = factored axial tension forceNt,Rd = design tension resistance, equal to the lesser of:
Nt,Rd = f ya Ag / Mo (5.1)
Fn,Rd = Anet f u / M2 (Table 8.1)Ag = gross section areaFn,Rd = net section resistance (Section 8.4)

Anet = net section areaf ya = average yield strengthf u = ultimate tensile strength
= 1.25
1.4.3 Bending - without LTB
The program checks that the applied moment about the relevant axis is less than the moment capacity
of the cross-section calculated according to Section 5.4 of the Code, i.e.
where:
Msd = moment (factored loads)
Mc,Rd = moment capacity of the cross-section, calculated from:
Mc,Rd = f y Weff / - when Weff < Wel (5.3a)
Mc,Rd = f ya Wel/ - when Weff = Wel (5.3b)
where:
Weff = effective section modulus, based on the the effective cross-section subjected only to bendingmoment
Wel = gross elastic section modulus
Note:
The program calculates all result values at: - 1/10 of span intervals, and at points of intermediate
supports.
When computing the moment-of-inertia and elastic section modulus of flexural members, the program
uses the effective section properties calculated according to Section 5.6.2.
1.4.4 Combined axial force & bending
Compression and bending
The program checks the combined bending and compression stress according to Section 6.5:
where:
Nb,min = min f yb Aeff / M1
Mx = Mx,sd + Nsd eNx
My = My,sd + Nsd eNy
Mcx = f yb Weff,x,com / M1
Mcy = f yb Weff,y,com / M1
Mbx = LT f yb Weff,x,com / M1
All other values are calculated as explained in Section 6.5.
Tension and bending
The program checks the combined bending and tension stress according to Section 5.5:
where:
Weff,x,ten, Weff,y,ten = effective section modulus for maximum tensile stress if subject only to

moment about the x-x or y-y axis respectively. = 1.1
Note that when selecting a sect ion the program also checks bending without the axial force. The
equation for combined tension and bending is less conservative than bending alone; if a section is
inadequate for bending, then combined tension and bending will not be checked.
The program checks combined bending and shear according to Section 5.10:
where:
Msd factored bending moment
Vsd factored shear force
Mc,Rd moment resistance of the section
Vw,Rd shear resistance of the section
1.4.5 DeflectionsThe deflection is calculated based on the effective section properties determined according to Section 4.
The effective width of a compression element is calculated according to the compressive stress com,Ed,
se r in the element subjected to the service limit state loading.
1.4.6 Effective section properties
The effective section properties are calculated on the basis of the effective width beff of the compression
elements. The effective width is calculated according to the compression stress com,Ed in the relevant
element, where:
com,Ed = f yb / M1
f yb = basic yield strengthM1 = 1.1 = partial factor for buckling failure (section 2.2)
Plane com pression elements withou t st if feners
The effective width is calculated according to Section 4.2 and is obtained from Table 4.1 (Doubly
supported compression elements) and Table 4.2 (Outstand compression elements).
Plane com pression elements with edge stif feners
The first and last elements of a section are assumed to be stiffeners (lips) if the length of the segment
is less than 28 mm; otherwise they are assumed to be unstiffened elements.
The effective width is calculated according to Section 4.3.2:
only single-edge folds may be calculated (Figure 4.2.a)
The effective section properties are calculated according to Section 4.3.2.2 - General Procedure

1.4.7 Lateral buckling strength
The program calculates all result values at: - 1/10 of span intervals, and at points of intermediate
supports.
The designer can specify the exact location of intermediate supports for each member.
Lateral-torsional buckling is calculated individually for each segment between intermediate supports, and
separately along the top and bottom flanges; the calculation is done separately for positive moments
(supports on bottom flange only are considered) and for negative moments (supports on top flange only
are considered).
For laterally unbraced segments subject to lateral buckling, the factored load moment shall not exceed
the design buckling resistance moment:
where:
Msd = design moment
Mb,Rd = design buckling resistance moment, calculated according to section 6.3.
1.4.8 Shear
The program checks that the actual shear force is less than the allowable shear resistance of the web,
i.e.
Vsd Vw,Rd
according to Section 5.8.
The shear resistance of the web Vw,Rd is the lesser of the shear buckling resistance Vb,Rd and the
plastic buckling resistance Vpl,Rd:
shear buck lin g resistance - Vb,Rd:
Vb,Rd = (hw /sin ) t f bv / M1 (5.13)
where:
hw = web height between midlines of flanges
= slope of the web relative to flanges
t = web thickness
M1 = 1.1
f bv = shear buckling strength, is calculated according to Table 5.2, based on the value of } ,
where
sw = slant height of web
f yb = basic yield strength
E = 21,000 N/mm²
pl astic shear resistance - Vpl ,Rd:
Vpl,Rd = (hw /sin ) t (f bv / 3)/ Mo (5.14)
where:
M0 = 1.1
and all other symbols are explained above.
Vpl,Rd is checked only if sw /t 72 (f yb /f y) ( M0 / M1)

where:
=
f y = f ya if the conditions of Section 3.1.2 are satisfied; otherwise f y = f yb
Note:
For sections with a number of segments parallel to the direction of shear, the program calculates Vr for each segment and uses the sum (lips are not considered as segments).
For combined shear and moments, refer to Combined forces .
1.4.9 Strength of steel
The program allows for design in all grades of steel - a different grade may be assigned to each member.
The increase in strength due to cold-forming is calculated according to Section 3.1.2 if the option is
selected by the user. The increased average yield strength f ya is substituted for f y when calculating
axial capacity, flexural capacity and combined stresses
f ya = f yb + (f u - f yb) knt²/Ag
(f u + f yb)/2 (3.1)
where:
Ag = gross cross-sectional area
k = 5
n = number of 90° bends in the cross-section with internal radius r

Composite beams
Composite columns
1.5.1 Composite beams
This section details the method used by the program to select steel sections for composite beams when
using the Eurocode 4 composite design code.
The user specifies the topping dimensions, properties and reinforcement, parameters that specify the
type of shear connection, details on short term vs. long term loading, etc. The program then selects the
lightest steel section that provides the required composite section capacity (the topping dimensions are
not modified by the program during the steel beam selection process).
The program differentiates between areas of positive (sagging) and negative (hogging) moment:
designed as composite sections
designed as non-composite steel sections according to Eurocode 4 (with the
addition of reinforcement in the slab, if specified).
Materials
Structural steel:
p y , the design strength of the structural steel, is determined according to Eurocode 4.
Concrete:
The nominal concrete grade (C25 to C50) is specified by the user. The program assumes that the
topping is stressed to a uniform compression of 0.85 f cu/1.5.
C25 concrete is assumed to be "lightweight"
Modulus of elasticity :
Modular ratio = Es /Ec
Section types
The program can design the following section types:
Classification
Negative moments:
Classification according to Eurocode 4.
Positive moments:
Classification according to Eurocode 4, except that the section is assumed to be in compression from
the topping to plastic neutral axis of the composite section and in tension below the plastic neutral
axis.
Shear - ver tical (s ectio n 4.4.2)
The steel beam is designed to resist the entire vertical shear force in accordance with Eurocode 3.

Sh ear - lo ngitu din al (s ectio n 6.2)
The user specifies the following input in the Default/Parameters option:
capacity of a single shear connector
actual number of connectors per beam in the positive moment region, or
program to calculate number of connectors required in the positive moment region for full shear
connection.
If the user specifies the number of connectors in the positive moment region and the number is less than
the number required to develop the positive moment capacity of the sect ion, the program designates the
beam as having a "partial shear connection" and reduces the bending capacity accordingly (see below).
The number of connectors in negative moment regions cannot be specified. The program assumes full
shear connection in the negative moment region if topping reinforcement is specified; hence the user
should not specify topping reinforcement if the required number of connectors cannot be provided.
The program calculates the number of studs as follows:
positive moment region : np = 2 F/Fstud
where:
Fstud = capacity of a single shear connector * 0.85
F = min(F1, F2)
F1 = maximum force in the steel section = A f y /1.1
F2 = maximum force in the concrete section = 0.85 f c Ac /1.5
The force must be taken on both sides of the point of maximum positive moment; hence the factor '2'.
negative moment region (only if the user specifies topping reinforcement):
nn = k FA /Fstud
where:Fstud = capacity of a single shear connector * 0.85
F = As f y /1.15
k = 2 if there a negative moment at both ends; otherwise k = 1
Output:
topping As =0 :
np = total number of shear connectors required in the posit ive moment region
topping As specified :
np+nn = total number of studs required in the positive and negative moment
regions, and
nn = total number of studs required in the negative moment regions (on a
separate line)
Note:If multiple load cases are defined, detailed results for all load cases must be displayed to determine
the required distribution of shear connectors.
it is the user's responsibility to detail the spacing of the studs along the length of the beam.
Bending - Posi t ive moment
The moment capacity of the section for positive moment is calculated according to section 4.4:
Class 1 plastic web: plastic moment capacityClass 2 compact web: plastic moment capacity
-
8/20/2019 STRAP Eurocode
48/52
Codes - EU 48
© ATIR Engineering Software Ltd.
Class 3 semi-compact
web:
reduced plastic moment capacity
Class 4 slender web: reduced elastic moment capacity
The calculation of S, the plastic section modulus, assumes that:
the topping width is reduced by the factor 0.85 f cu/1.5/pytopping area in tension (below the 'plastic neutral axis') is ignored
for partial shear connections (see above), the program calculates the theoretical topping height that
provides a full shear connection and uses this reduced width to calculate the plastic section modulus.
for Class 1 or Class 2 webs with high shear load (Fv > 0.5 Pv), the program calculates the reduced
moment capacity Mcv according to the Code.
The calculation of Z, the elastic section modulus, assumes that:
the topping width is reduced by the factor:
short-term loading:n = Es /Eclong-term loading: n =
topping area in tension is ignored
For partial shear connection, the flange width bf is reduced by the factor (Vcap/Vreq) 1, the degree of
partial connection.
The program carries out the following design checks:
where:
M1 = moment due to load applied to steel (non-composite) beamM2 = moment due to short-term loadM3 = moment due to long-term loadMcs = moment capacity of steel beam only, calculated according to Eurocode 3 .Mc1, Mc2, Mc3 = moment capacity corresponding to M1, M2 and M3, respectively, calculated as
explained above, but subject to the following limitation: S < kZ:
Bending - Negative momen t
The Default/Parameters option allow the user to define topping reinforcement that will increase the
negative moment capacity.
The moment capacity of the section for negative moment is calculated assuming:
no topping reinforcement: steel section capacity according to Eurocode 3
topping reinforcement: the area of the reinforcement is added to the section when calculating S:
Reinforcement should not be specified if the shear connectors required for full shear connection

The program carries out the following design checks:
where:
M = M1 + M2 + M3Mc = capacity of section with reinforcementM1, M2, M3, Mcs = as defined above
Lateral-torsio nal buckl ing
The program assumes that the top flange is continuously supported by the concrete topping. The LTB
capacity of the bottom flange is calculated according to Eurocode 3 .
Deflections
The program calculates the total span deflection as follows:
= (M1) + (M2) + (M3)
where:
M1, M2, M3 = as defined above (bending)
: calculated using the moment of inertia of the steel beam only
= the moment-of-inertia is calculated assuming that the topping width is reduced according toa modular ratio n = Es /Ec
= the moment-of-inertia is calculated assuming that the topping width is reduced according toa modular ratio
The increased deflection arising from partial shear connection is determined from EC4, assumingunpropped construction:
= c + 0.3 (1 - Na /Np) ( s - c
where:
Na = actual number of shear connectorsNp = number of shear connectors required for full shear connectionc = deflection for full shear connection as calculated aboves = deflection for the steel beam acting alone
Axial force
The Default/Parameters option allow the user to specify one of the following design options:

1.5.2 Composite columns
The program calculates the axial capacity of composite columns according to section 4.8.3 - "Simplified
Method of Design".
Note that the concrete is ignored when calculating the flexural capacity of the section.
The plastic resistance to compression is calculated by adding the plastic resistances of the column
components:
Npl,Rd = Aa f y /1.1 + Ac (0.85f ck)/1.5 + As f sk /1.15
for filled circular sections:
Npl,Rd = Aa f y /1.1 + Ac (f ck)/1.5 + As f sk /1.15
where:
Aa, f y - refers to the structural steel section
Ac, f ck - refers to the concrete area
As, f sk - refers to the additional reinforcement
The effective elastic flexural stiffness of cross sections is calculated as:
(EI)e = EaIa + 0.8 (Ec /1.35) Ic + Es Is
where:
Ea, Ia - refers to the structural steel section
