BS 5950-2000 Example 002

This document summarizes an example problem from the BS 5950-2000 steel design code. It tests the axial and bending capacity of a continuous square tube column subjected to factored loads. The results from ETABS are compared to independent hand calculations and show an exact match, validating the software. Key aspects checked include the column's compactness, axial capacity, and bending capacity.

BS 5950-2000 Example 002

SQUARE TUBE MEMBER UNDER COMPRESSION & BENDING
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The frame object axial and moment strengths are tested in this example.
A continuous column is subjected to factored loads and moments N =640 kN;
Mx =10.5 kN-m; My =0.66 kN-m. The moment on the column is caused by
eccentric beam connections. This example was tested using the BS 5950-2000
steel frame design code. The design capacities are compared with independent
hand calculated results.
