Dear HTURKAK and centondollar
Thank you so much for your reply.
It was my expectation, that you have to include the compression force from M/h as well. To exclude it does not give any sense in a truss construction. Yes, the local moment in top chord I have to take care of too by the formula...
Hi all
Hopefully you clever guys can help with this topic. :)
In the old German code DIN 4114 you were allowed to use a so called w-factor(Omega) on compressed members in order to verify the buckling capacity of a steel member. The w-factor depends of the slenderness (schlankheitsgrad) and...

I know that yieldline is a platic theory, I was just trying to come up with an alternative.. !
You are right about the meshsize. If the meshsize is small you will get a higher peakmoment. What meshsize will you suggest in top of a column?
A professor told me, that I could find the design moment by doing this: Md = ((Mpeak / 3) + Mpeak) x ½ (elastic design)
Otherwise you can find it by the yieldline theory (plastic design)
I agree with BAretired. The cracks are negative radial lines created by tension in top of the slab. You have to check the area of the reinforcment in top of the plate.(columns)
Do it by the yieldline-theory and check the tension in the reinforcement. If the stress is greater than the...
Hi
I have tried Amses Plate which I find very good and easy to use. Has anyone of you tried it? If you have, I would like to hear your opinion. you can download it for free here: http://www.ainet-sp.si/AMSES/En/Plate.htm
