SCALE is a computer program for producing neatly composed pages of

structural engineers' calculations and component details for the design
of a variety of components such as beams, columns and slabs, using
steel, concrete, masonry and timber.
SCALE incorporates a library of over 1000 proforma calculations, any of
which may be selected for use when SCALE is run. The content of this
library is continually under review, proformas being added or modified
as codes of practice develop and change. The library includes:
SCALE - Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocode 2 and BS8110
- Reinforced & Prestressed Concrete Design to BS5400 & DOT
- Reinforced Concrete to Eurocode 2, BS8007, BS8666 and Section Analysis
- Composite Construction to Eurocode 4, BS5950 and BS5400
- Timber Design to Eurocode 5 and BS5268
- Steel Design to BS5400 & DOT
- Steel Design to Eurocode 3 and BS5950-1:2000
- Masonry Design to Eurocode 6, BS5628 and MEXE
- Analysis by NL-STRESS
- Analysis by Traditional Methods
- Pre and Postprocessors for Structural Analysis
- Loadings and Foundations
- Drainage and Surveying
- Mathematics
- Manuals and Miscellaneous
LUCID for reinforced concrete component detailing.
SPADE for steelwork, timber and masonry component detailing.
NL-STRESS for the structural analysis of frameworks.
The principal proformas have now been modified such that each proforma
will allow design to the new Eurocode with full working displayed to the
Eurocode, or allow design to the previous British Standard showing full
workings displayed to the British Standard. The user can choose
the code at the start of the proforma and alternate between
codes as required.
Your pdf viewer should show a list of bookmarks to the left of this document,
click on the bookmarks to jump to the relevent example proformas.
Alternatively click on the highlighted links above to jump to the relevent
section headings in the full list of proformas on the following pages.

The output from SCALE is a set of pages, neatly titled, dated and
numbered, containing calculations and component details made to a
standard suitable for submission to a checking authority.
Sample output calculations and detailing drawings for nearly one
hundred proformas are included in this document, to jump directly to
these calculations click on the bookmarked links which should be
displayed to the left of this document, or click on the highlighted
proformas below to jump directly to sample output from that proforma.
Where a SCALE proforma has a # sign following its number, this
indicates that that proforma pulls forward the moments, shears etc.
from an NL-STRESS analysis into the proforma.
The proformas marked with an (E) allow full workings to the Eurocodes
and full workings to the British Standard, or are analytical and
applicable to both. There are now over 375 proformas ready for the
Eurocodes.

Rect. beam: flexure, span/depth, curtailment, laps
Date: 02/04/14
(C) 2014 Fitzroy Systems Ltd. www.fitzroy.com
Ref No: SC073 BS

Office: 1007
Location: Example: small beam - high-yield steel - no compression steel
Bending in rectangular beams with optional calculations for shear,

lap lengths, bar curtailment & limiting span/effective depth ratio

Calculations are based on formulae

in Clause 3.4.4.4 of BS8110: Part 1
and thus assume the use of a simplified
rectangular concrete stress-block, and
that the depth to the neutral axis is
restricted to 0.5*d.

Now using the formula given in Note 2 below Table 3.8, with f00d=400/d

Design shear stress in concrete
vc=0.79*pcnt^(1/3)*f00d^.25/1.25

As characteristic concrete strength exceeds 25 N/mm2
therefore increase vc according to footnote in Table 3.8

Longitudinal reinforcement

As Mbef=M, no redistribution has occurred.

Thus redistribution ratio betab=1

Max.depth of conc.stress-block
dpmax=0.9*xmax=0.9*119=107.1 mm
As max.depth of stress-block of 107.1 mm exceeds flange thickness of
100 mm, stress-block may extend below flange: check resistance moment.
Moment capacity of flange alone

As this exceeds M, lower edge of stress-block does not fall below
underside of flange and section may be designed as a rectangular beam.

K=M*1000*1000/(b*d^2*fcu)
=12*1000*1000/(400*238^2*35)

Clause 3.4.5.2 limits the maximum shearing stress to 0.8fcu N/mm2
and thus limiting shear stress
vlim=0.8*SQR(fcu)=0.8*SQR(35)
=4.7329 N/mm2
Now using the formula given in Note 2 below Table 3.8, with f00d=400/d
and pcnt=100*As/(bv*d),
Design shear stress in concrete
vc=0.79*pcnt^(1/3)*f00d^.25/1.25
=0.79*0.4752^(1/3)*1.6807^.25/1.25
=0.56154 N/mm2
As characteristic concrete strength exceeds 25 N/mm2
therefore increase vc according to footnote in Table 3.8.
Modified design shear stress
vc=vc*(fcu/25)^(1/3)
=0.56154*(35/25)^(1/3)
=0.62819 N/mm2
Shear enhancement is ignored so
vc=0.62819 N/mm2
Design shear stress

Tension steel provided

per=100*Aspr/(b*h)
=100*15393/(3000*400)
=1.2828 % of gross section.
As this falls within Code limits of 0.13% and 4%, this is satisfactory.
Basic clear dist.allowed between tension bars (see Cl.3.12.11.2.4)
is given by
cdist=47000*3*Aspr*betab/(2*fy*As)
=47000*3*15393*0.96/(2*500*14386)
=144.84 mm
which is satisfactory, as it is less than 300 mm.
As the amount of tension steel is not less than 1%, no change to the
calculated spacing cdist need be made [see Clause 3.12.11.2.7(b)].
As max.allowable pitch of cdist+dia=164.84 mm is not less than rounded
value determined above (i.e. 60 mm), the above pitch is satisfactory.

As characteristic concrete strength exceeds 25 N/mm2
therefore increase vc according to footnote in Table 3.8.

The main reinforcement design is
based on balancing, by iterative
means, of the two derived expressions
for areas of reinforcing steel one for axial load and the other
for bending.
One layer of steel is assumed for
the axis of bending.

Ultimate moments and shears

For initial shear calculations,

assume effective depth
ds=0.85*h/1000=0.85*500/1000=0.425 m
Ultimate moment (at left face of column)
Mda=(3*(pa-ps)+(pb-pa)*la/lx)*ly*la^2/6
=(3*(143.04-16.8)+(209.21-143.04)*1.575/3.6)
*2.8*1.575^2/6
=471.93 kNm
Ultimate moment (at right face of column)
Mdb=(3*(pb-ps)-(pb-pa)*lb/lx)*ly*lb^2/6
=(3*(209.21-16.8)-(209.21-143.04)*1.575/3.6)
*2.8*1.575^2/6
=634.71 kNm
Ultimate shear (near left face of column)
Vda=(2*(pa-ps)+(pb-pa)*(la-ds)/lx)*ly*(la-ds)/2
=(2*(143.04-16.8)+(209.21-143.04)*(1.575
-0.425)/3.6)*2.8*(1.575-0.425)/2
=440.52 kN
Ultimate shear (near right face of column)
Vdb=(2*(pb-ps)-(pb-pa)*(lb-ds)/lx)*ly*(lb-ds)/2
=(2*(209.21-16.8)-(209.21-143.04)*(1.575
-0.425)/3.6)*2.8*(1.575-0.425)/2
=585.53 kN
Design for
Vdx=585.53
and
Mdx=634.71
The maximum moment is reduced to one-half of
317.41 kNm at a distance of 0.47 m from the

kN
kNm
this value (i.e. about
RH face of the column.

Reinforcement to resist bending in X-direction

Diameter of X-direction bars

diax=16 mm
Since specified bar size does not exceed cover,
Effective depth
dx=h-cover-0.5*diax=500-35-0.5*16

Crit.dist.for curtailment calcs. lc=((1000*lx-cx)/2+lcx-lcxc)/1000
=((1000*3.6-450)/2+457-930)/1000
=1.102 m from edge
At this point, soil pressure
px=pb-(pb-pa)*lc/lx
=209.21-(209.21-143.04)*1.102/3.6
=188.96 kN/m2
and total bending moment
Md=lc^2/6*(2*pb+px)*ly
=1.102^2/6*(2*209.21+188.96)*2.8
=344.21 kNm
Min.anchorage-bond
length required with 90-bob lcx1=INT(fy*diax/(fbu*4*gammaS))+1-12*diax
=INT(500*16/(2.958*4*1.15))+1-12*16
=396 mm
As this is less than effective depth, increase as per Cl.3.12.9.1(a).
Thus min.length required beyond theoretical termination=929 mm
Min. 50%-bar-curtailment point
lcxp=0.929 m from column face.
Specified bar-curtailment point
lcxcm=0.93 m from column face so OK

Asx=Mdx*10^6/(fy/gammaS*z)
=634.71*10^6/(500/1.15*434.15)
=3362.5 mm2
Since base width ( ly=2.8 m ) exceeds ( 1.5*cy+4.5*dx=2.7315 m )
Clause 3.11.3.2 requires that two-thirds of the required reinforcement
must be concentrated within a width (3d+cy) located centrally under the
column.
Thus over central strip
Asx1=2/3*Asx=2/3*3362.5=2241.7 mm2,

Asx2=Asx/3=3362.5/3=1120.8 mm2

Percentage of steel provided

per=Asprx/(10*widY*h)
=2412.7/(10*1.821*500)
=0.26499 % of gross section.
As this is within Code limits of 0.13 % and 4%, this is satisfactory.
As the area of tension steel provided does not exceed 0.3%, no check
on the spacing of bars is needed [see Clause 3.12.11.2.7(a3)].
Since percentage of steel provided is at least twice the minimum
permissible proportion, 50% of these bars will be curtailed at a
distance of 930 mm from the face of the column.

Reinforcement to resist bending in Y-direction

As eccentricity of load is within middle-third, it seems reasonable to

design for a uniform moment in Y-direction. Hence
Ultimate bending moment
Mdy=N*(ly-cy/1000)^2/(8*ly)
=1606*(2.8-450/1000)^2/(8*2.8)
=395.94 kNm

Hence section is satisfactory, no shear reinforcement is required.

Reinforcement to resist bending in Y-direction

As eccentricity of load is within middle-third, it seems reasonable to

design for a uniform moment in Y-direction. Hence
Ultimate bending moment
Mdy=NEd*(ly-cy/1000)^2/(8*ly)
=1606*(2.8-450/1000)^2/(8*2.8)
=395.9 kNm
For initial shear calculations,
assume effective depth
ds=0.85*h/1000=0.85*550/1000
=0.4675 m
Ultimate shear force @ 1.0ds
Vdy=NEd*(ly-cy/1000-2*ds)/(2*ly)
=1606*(2.8-450/1000-2*0.4675)/(2
*2.8)
=405.8 kN
The maximum moment is reduced to one-half of this value (i.e. 198
kNm) at a distance of 0.9326 m from the column face.

Asy=Mdy*10^6/(fyk/gams*z)

Since base width ( lx=3.6 m ) exceeds ( 1.5*cx+4.5*dy=2.885 m )
two-thirds of the required reinforcement must be concentrated within
a width (3d+cx) located centrally under the column.
Thus over central strip

provided at 130 mm centres near each face over a height of 1333.3 mm
from the bottom of the section. The main tension steel and any shear
bars provided may be considered to contribute to this reinforcement.
According to Clause 3.12.5.4 of BS8110, as beam breadth is less than

of the grade compression parallel to the grain stress, modified as
appropriate for size, moisture content, duration of load and
load sharing, and the modification factor K12 given by table, or
calculated as follows using the equation in annex B. The value
of modulus of elasticity should be the mean modulus of elasticity
modified by K20.
The compression parallel to the grain stress required for entry to
annex B should be the grade stress modified only for moisture
content and duration of load.

64 mm. For loading parallel to the grain, the spacing across the
grain between fixings or rows of fixings should be not less than
64 mm.
For loading perpendicular to the grain, the spacing parallel to the
grain between fixings or rows of fixings should be not less than
79 mm.
When two timber members are fixed together at right-angles to each
other, the minimum bolt/dowel spacing should be 80 mm.
The distance from the end of the timber to the centre of the nearest
bolt/dowel hole for parallel to the grain loading should be not less
than 64 mm where the bolts/dowels are bearing away from the end of
the member, or 112 mm where bolts/dowels are bearing towards the
end of the member.
The distance from the edge of the timber to the centre of the nearest
bolt/dowel hole should be not less than 24 mm except when
loading is perpendicular to the grain and then the distance from the
edge of the timber towards which the fixings are bearing and the
centre of the nearest fixing hole, should be not less than 64 mm.

Restraint assumptions

As the member is not provided with full lateral restraint its

resistance to lateral-torsional buckling must be checked
The member is provided with intermediate restraints to each flange
and will be checked using the procedure of Clause 4.3.5.2
Resistance to lateral-torsional buckling - Section 4.3

Effective length - Clause 4.3.5.2

In considering lateral torsional buckling the effective length, Le,

for the minor axis of the member is taken as follows:
Length between restraints
LT=3 m
Compression flange laterally restrained.
Nominal torsional restraint about longitudinal axis.
Both flanges fully restrained against rotation on plan.

From the I.Struct.E publication entitled 'Manual for the design of
steelwork building structures to EC3' conservatively the limiting
length between torsional restraints Ls can be taken as follows:
Limiting length
Ls=Lk/c=3142.1/1.1255=2791.7 mm
As Ls < Lh ( 2791.7 mm < 3000 mm ) the limiting length does not exceed
the length of the haunch, provide lateral restraint to both flanges at
mid-span and end of the haunch.
Point of contraflexure

Distance from the end of haunch to the point of contraflexure needs to

be less or equal to the basic critical length Lk.
Dist.to point of contraflexure
Lcon=2776 mm (from haunch end)
Basic critical length
Lk=3142.1 mm
As Lcon Lk ( 2776 mm 3142.1 mm ) the distance from the end of
haunch to the point of contraflexure is less or equal to the basic
critical length Lk=3142.1 mm and therefore no additional bottom flange
restrain is required.
The section is considered to be suitable.

Before proceeding further with design checks determine the biaxial

stress effects (if any) in the plate. In some instances the transverse moment may have such an effect as to reduce the moment capacity
for overall bending of the section.
Maximum transverse moment, M, in the plate is obtained from:

Horizontal deflection - top flange of beam

=226.17 mm
Horizontal movement
hy=ys*phi=226.17*0.014891
=3.3678 mm
The maximum horizontal movement of the top flange ( 3.3678 mm ) occurs
at midspan. Arbitrarily, a limit of 20 mm to movement of the top
flange would be within normal tolerances. The deck connected to
either side of the beam to the flange plate plus the closure flashing
will provide additional stiffness. This additional stiffness has not
been included in the above.
Design Case 3(b) - In-service stage (imposed loading)

Since the beam is fully restrained in the in-service stage,

moment capacity is considered.

Since Mx Mc ( 502.56 kNm 625.79 kNm ), the section is suitable
for moment capacity.

Guidelines for the provision of service voids

Holes to be contained within the middle third of the span

Maximum number of 5 holes per span
Circular service voids only
Minimum centres of holes, 600 mm
One hole per cross-section of deck
Holes to be symmetrically arranged about the centre line of
the UC web
Maximum hole diameter 0.6D ( 160 mm )
The cylindrical sleeve used to form service duct to be cold
formed steel minimum thickness 1.2 mm
Aggregate size should be considered, because the concrete has
to be vigorously vibrated to ensure that the concrete passes
beneath the cylindrical sleeve.

Simply supported beam

Slim floor construction non-composite

beam. Calculations are in accordance
with EC3 Part 1-1 & SCI P385 entitled
'Design of Steel Beams in Torsion'.
A plate is welded to the bottom flange
of the UC section extending beyond the
bottom flange by 100 mm either side to
support the metal decking.

Design assumptions:

No restraint is provided to the compression flange

during the construction stage
In the construction stage the beam is assumed to be
torsional fixed and warping free at the supports
For the variable loading condition the beam is assumed
laterally restrained (i.e. LTB cannot occur)
The steel deck is propped by a central line of props.

The maximum horizontal movement of the top flange ( 3.2805 mm ) occurs
at midspan. A limit of 20 mm to movement of the top flange would
be within normal tolerances. The deck connected to either side of the
beam to the flange plate plus the closure flashing will provide an
additional stiffness (not included in the above).

Since the beam is fully restrained in the in-service stage, the moment

Shear plastic resistance - Clause 6.2.6

In the absence of torsion the shear plastic resistance depends on:

Shear Area
Avz=A*100-2*b*tf+(tw+2*r)*tf

As VzEd < VplRd, section is suitable. Case 3(a) check for reduced
shear resistance in the presence of torsion is nor required.

Guidelines for the provision of service voids

Holes to be contained within the middle third of the span

Maximum number of 5 holes per span
Circular service voids only
Minimum centres of holes, 600 mm
One hole per cross-section of deck
Holes to be symmetrically arranged about the centre line of
the UKC web
Maximum hole diameter 0.6h ( 160 mm )
The cylindrical sleeve used to form service duct to be cold
formed steel minimum thickness 1.2 mm
Aggregate size should be considered, because the concrete has
to be vigorously vibrated to ensure that the concrete passes
beneath the cylindrical sleeve.

Outstand
b=B/2=253/2=126.5 mm
Ratio
b'T=b/T=126.5/16.2=7.8086
As b/T <= 9e ( 9.1682 ), outstand element of compression
flange is classified as Class 1 plastic.

d=D-2*(T+r)=677.9-2*(16.2+15.2)
=615.1 mm
Ratio
d't=d/t=615.1/11.7=52.573
Neutral axis is assumed to be at mid-depth of section.
As d/t <= 80e ( 81.495 ), web is classified as Class 1 plastic.
Shear buckling

Since d/t < 70e no check for shear buckling is required.

Buckling resistance

Since the beam is subject to possible lateral torsional buckling, the

buckling resistance moment Mb is first considered rather than the
moment capacity Mc as a guide to selection.
As beam is restrained at ends only LT=L=9 m
Resistance to lateral-torsional buckling - Section 4.3

Effective length - Clause 4.3.5.2

In considering lateral torsional buckling the effective length, Le,

for the minor axis of the member is taken as follows:
Length between restraints
LT=9 m
Compression flange laterally restrained.
Nominal torsional restraint about longitudinal axis.
Compression flange fully restrained against rotation on plan.
Normal loading conditions therefore
Effective length (Table 13)
Le=0.75*LT=0.75*9=6.75 m

Fire resistance without applied protection

Beams are assessed on their load carrying capacity only. Integrity

and insulation are not normally considered. The criterion for load
carrying capacity for simple beams, is that the end of the fire
resistance period the design temperature does not exceed the limiting
temperature given in Code Table 8. For a beam the temperature of the
bottom flange is considered to represent the limiting temperature.
In practice an unprotected beam will rarely have more than 30 minutes
fire resistance, so 30 minutes will be considered.
For a flange thickness of 16.2 mm,

Design shear force
Fv=77.6 kN
Since Fv Pv ( 77.6 kN 2178.2 kN ) applied shear force

Moment capacity - Clause 4.2.5

The moment capacity of the section, Mcx, will be limited to

the elastic capacity in accordance with Section 8.8.1

the moment capacity.
Compression flange cross-sectional capacity - Clause 4.8.3.2

The minor axis bending capacity is taken as the minor axis bending
capacity of a single flange, because the flange resists the
horizontal bending moments. For simplicity the elastic modulus of
the flange, Zycf, is taken as half the minor axis elastic modulus
of the whole section.

Avz=A*100-2*b*tf+(tw+2*r)*tf
=289*100-2*293.8*26.8+(16.1+2
*17.8)*26.8

Shear plastic resistance
VplRd=Avz*fy/SQR(3)/(gamM0*1000)
=14538*265/SQR(3)/(1*1000)
=2224.3 kN
Design shear force
VzEd=77.6 kN
Since VzEd VplRd ( 77.6 kN 2224.3 kN ) design shear force
within the shear plastic resistance.
Moment resistance - Clause 6.2.5

The moment resistance of the section, McRdy will be limited to

the elastic resistance.
Elastic modulus about yy axis
Wely=Iy/(h/20)=340000/(850.9/20)
=7991.5 cm3
Moment resistance
McRdy=fy*Wely/(gamM0*10^3)
=265*7991.5/(1*10^3)
=2117.8 kNm
Since MyEd McRdy ( 274.1 kNm 2117.8 kNm ) design moment within
the moment resistance.
Compression flange cross-sectional resistance

The minor axis bending capacity is taken as the minor axis bending
capacity of a single flange, because the flange resists the
horizontal bending moments. For simplicity the elastic modulus of
the flange, Welzcf, is taken as half the minor axis elastic modulus
of the whole section.

Fire resistance without applied protection

Columns are assessed on their load ratio.

The criterion for load
carrying capacity, is that the end of the fire resistance period
the design temperature does not exceed the limiting temperature
temperature given in BS 5950-8:2003 Table 8. For a column the
limiting temperature is dependant on the thickness of the flanges.
For a flange thickness of 14.2 mm.
The value given in Table 9 assumes heating from all four sides.

The limiting temperature for unprotected members is 591.39 deg.C.
from Table 8 of the code. This is less than the design temperature
737.4 deg.C. so the unprotected column will have less than 30 minutes
fire resistance.
The design temperature for 15 min temp15=TABLE 9 for T=14.2, column=15

The column does however provide 15 minutes resistance.

Determination of angle of twist

It is sufficient to obtain the maximum angle of twist at working

load, phiw, by replacing the value of torque Tq with the working load
value as phi is linearly dependant on Tq. Since Tq has been factored
then multiplying by the appropriate ratio of applied to factored
load(s) will give:
Angle of twist at working load
phiw=ABS(phi)*wt/w
=ABS(-0.0028228)*2/2.8
=0.0020163 rad
in degrees
phiw'=DEG(phiw)=0.11552 deg
On the assumption that a maximum twist of 2 degrees is acceptable
at working load, in this instance the beam is satisfactory.

Design load resistance - Clause 6.4.2

For an external cavity wall it is only necessary to check the inner

leaf which carries the majority of load.
The capacity reduction factor (phi) needed for EC6 expression 6.2 is
the least value of i (phii) and m (phim).
At the top or bottom of wall (i):
The maximum design value of the bending moment at the top or the
bottom of the wall resulting from the eccentricity of the roof/floor
load at the support
Mid=0.55299 kNm/m
Eccentricity at the top or bottom of the wall resulting from
horizontal loads (e.g. wind load) ehe=0 mm

Reduction factor
phii=1-2*ei/t=1-2*17.399/140
=0.75144
At mid-height of the wall (m):
Design vert load (middle of wall) Nmd=44.242 kN/m
The maximum design value of the bending moment at the middle of the
height of the wall resulting from the moments at the top and bottom
of the wall is Mmd.
Design moment at mid-height
Mmd=0.61938 kNm/m
Eccentricity at mid-height of the wall resulting from horizontal
loads (e.g. wind load)
ehm=7.726 mm
Eccentricity of design vert load em=Mmd*1000/Nmd+ehm+einit
=0.61938*1000/44.242+7.726+4.0417
=25.767

Stability moment of resistance
MRs1=daxMb*la1/10^3
=67.121*392.51/10^3
=26.345 kNm
Stability moment of resistance is not less than Case 1 base moment.
(b) Consider Case (2) suction:
The stability moment of resistance is provided by the flexural
compressive stress at the end of the projecting fin, thus:
Minimum width of stress block

Distribution of wind load to concrete or masonry shear walls

Wind forces are distributed to the shear walls by the 'slab-over'

acting as a stiff horizontal diaphragm (the slab must make good
connections with the walls). The figure below shows a structural
plan on a shear wall system with the r'th shear wall resisting
resultant wind force Fx. The method is described in 'Structural
Design of Masonry' by Andrew Orton and is as follows:
a) compute position of shear centre (yc) for walls acting to resist
horizontal force in x-direction. (The origin for the x and y
coordinate axes is taken as the bottom left corner of the plan).
b) compute position of shear centre (xc) for walls acting to resist
horizontal force in y-direction.
c) compute torsional rigidity =(Ixr.ycr^2+Iyr.xcr^2) where
xcr and ycr are the distances from the shear centre to each wall
in the x and y-directions respectively.
d) with the wind force in the x-direction as in the figure, compute
twisting moment = Fx.(ym-yc) = Fx.ey
e) for the wind in the x-direction compute the load in each shear
wall due to the lateral displacement and that due to the twist.
For the r'th shear wall: fxr = Fx.Ixr / (Ix1+Ix2+...)
+ Fx.ey.Ixr.ycr / (Ix1.yc1^2+Ix2.yc2^2+...+Iy1.xc1^2+Iy2.xc2^2+...)
f) repeat steps (d) and (e) for wind in y-direction.

* When dealing with the joints of a structure (their coordinates,
* conditions of support, loads etc.) we refer to global axes X, Y and
* Z. When dealing with a member (its section properties, member loads
* etc.) we refer to its local axes x, y and z. For quick reference
* the effects of positive results for forces acting on the ends of
* members are depicted above. THINK OF THE JOINTS AS APPLYING FORCES
* TO THE MEMBER ENDS.

Symmetrical pitched roof

where the angle of pitch
is > 15.
For symmetrical roofs with
pitches > 15 two load types
are to be considered.

CASE 1:

Uniform load over

whole roof.

CASE 2:

Uniform load over

one half of roof
only.

The value of the snow load shape coefficient u1 is dependent upon

the angle of pitch of the roof measured from the horizontal. This
coefficient u1 is considered to be constant across the whole roof
in load case 1 and in load case 2 the coefficient u1a is considered
to act on one half of the roof.
Load case 1 - Uniform load across whole roof

Wind load assessment based on BS6399-2:1997 (June 2002)

BS6399-2:1997 (June 02) offers two methods of assessing the wind load
onto a structure. The method adopted in this program is the "standard
method" to section 2.0 of this Code of Practice. To assess if BS6399-2
(Amendment June 02) is applicable, it is necessary to determine the
"Dynamic augmentation factor" which determines if the chosen structure
is "dynamic".
Dynamic augmentation factor

Chosen site is the Town; built up areas not less than 0.1 km upwind
of the site with an average level of roof tops at least Ho=5 m
above ground level. The site is assumed to be 2 km inside town
terrain.

Wind load assessment based on BS EN 1991-1-4:2005+A1:2010

The proforma utilises the simplified procedure for determining the peak
velocity pressure for all buildings where orography is not significant
and for buildings 50m tall where orography is significant. Where the
building height > 50m and where orography is significant the procedure
in Annex A of the NA to BS EN 1991-1-4:2005+A1:2010 will be adopted.
The building dynamic factor Cd from the NA to BS EN 1991-1-4:2005,
Figure NA.9 will be taken in the calculations to be equal to 1.
Chosen site is the Town; area with regular cover of vegetation or
buildings or with isolated obstacles with separations of maximum
20 obstacle heights (such as villages, suburban terrain, permanent
forest) or area in which at least 15% of the surface is covered with
buildings and their average height exceeds 15m.

The ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) load
combinations will be considered by the program using the "single source
principle" for permanent actions, as this is applicable for STR limit
state verifications. The principle states that permanent actions from
one source are assigned the same value of partial factor in any one
load combination. The single source principle does not apply for EQU
limit state verifications.

As spacing of piles does not exceed 3 times pile diameter, it is
considered unnecessary to check punching shear along the critical
perimeter.
Bar spacing check

CASE 1: X-direction
As the area of tension steel provided does not exceed 0.5%, the bar
spacing of 70 mm is satisfactory.
