Steel Members
|
|
AVENA is a program to analyze the structural safety of individual members made of steel
according to the Swiss structural code SIA263 and the Eurocode EN 1993-1-1. It is intended
as an aid to the manual calculation of the time-consuming structural resistance and stability
verifications, whereby for a series of loadings either the most
suitable steel profile is determined and/or the degree of utilization of the strength of the
selected steel profiles is output.
General
-
Interactive use: All input is made in one single dialog shown on the right hand side
- Batch-processing: Calculations can be made as a follow up from STATIK-6
- Additional help: For typical frame situations the buckling length can be estimated
in an further sub-dialog.
|
Main dialog
|
Profile Library and Welded Sections
- The section properties of the most common rolled profiles are stored in a library.
- Welded sections are defined through parametrized cross-sections
|
Sub-dialog for the estimation of the buckling length
|
Check and Design
- Profile classification based on the slendernesses and determination of the permissible method of analysis
- Output of the critical buckling lengths
- Investigation of local instabilities and, if necessary, analysis of the reduced dimensioning section
- Axial buckling
- Stability and cross section resistance of doubly symmetric steel profiles for general bending and normal force
- Verification of simple bending with normal force for other rolled steel sections
- Bending and shear resistance of plate girders
