Standards-based verification example

This verification example deals with the design of a slender pendulum support made of centrifugally cast concrete (see approval Z-15.13-343 [1]) in accordance with the general procedure set out in DIN EN 1992-1-1/NA:2013-04, Section 5.8.6. In addition to the geometric non-linearity of the system according to second-order theory, suitable stress-strain curves incorporating creep effects for concrete and steel must be taken into account in the design (see examples [2, S. 29-35] and [3]).Creep effects may be modelled in accordance with DIN EN 1992-1-1 5.8.6 (3) by assuming a change in shape or…
