Worked examples to EC3

In expressions 6.61 and 6.62, what structural mechanics do the k factors account for?

The residual stresses in the member
The shape of the bending moment diagram
The influence of the axial load
The section shape

When designing, which country's National Annex should be used?

No NA is needed if the recommended values are chosen
The NA for the country where design is carried out
The NA for the country where construction is to be carried out
The choice of NA should be specified by the client

Where does a designer find values of C1 for different shapes of bending moment diagram?

In BS EN 1993-1-1
In the UK National Annex to BS EN 1993-1-1
In NCCI
In an appendix to BS EN 1993-1-1

Which class of sections use the Gross Area, A when calculating the resistance?

Class 1
Class 2
Class 3
Class 4

Which bending modulus should be used with a Class 2 section?

Elastic modulus
Plastic Modulus
Effective Modulus
Young's Modulus

For designs to be constructed in the UK, where should the steel strength be taken from?

The designer may choose
The UK National Annex to BS EN 1993-1-1
The product Standard
BS EN 1993-1-1

What value of ξ is specified in the UK National Annex?

0.925
0.950
0.875

How is ε calculated?

No need - its given in the tables
ε = (235/fy)1/2
ε = (275/fy)1/2

Which combination of checks are required for elements in tension?

Gross area using yield strength, and γM0
Gross area using yield strength, and γM1
Net area using yield strength, and γM1
Net area using ultimate strength and γM2
