D1Problem description
This section was machine-translated by DeepL.

The system consists of a simple steel section as shown in Fig. D1-1 and Tab. D1-1. The section is subjected to axial force, bending moment and shear force; the aim is to determine the load-bearing capacity of the section. As the rules set out in DIN EN 1993-1-1 are not applicable to all cross-sections and load levels, it is to be expected that software implementations will show certain deviations.

Firstly, it is shown that the required load-bearing capacity can be determined with sufficient accuracy, even though there are deviations in the implemented formulae which influence the results to some extent. It is then demonstrated how the load-bearing capacity can be determined even more accurately using refined calculation methods.
