The design approach for members subject to combined axial (compression) force and bending
recommended in EC3 is based on the equivalent moment factor method, which necessitates
that the following ultimate limit states are checked.
1. resistance of cross sections to the combined effects.
2. buckling resistance of member to the combined effects
Resistance of cross sections – bending and axial force (Cl. 6.2.9, EC3)
Members which are subjected to combined bending and axial load should satisfy the
following.
Interaction Factors
Resistant Moment
To prevent bending failure, the bending moment in the baseplate, msd, must not
exceed the resistance moment, mRd
Filler Metals
Clause 4.2(2) of EC3-8 recommends that the specified yield strength, ultimate
tensile strength, etc., of the filler metals used in welded connections should be
equal or greater than the corresponding values specified for the steel being
welded.
d0 – hole diameter
t – thickness of thinner outer
