Abstract:

Design of steel cross sections with thin plates has to take in account the effect of local instability that reduce the ultimate resistance.

Eurocode 3 classifies these cross-sections as Class 4 cross-sections and in part 1-5 it shows two procedures to take in account local buckling effects in the ULS resistence evaluation:

  • Effective cross section method

  • Reduced stress method

Scope of this paper is to show the application of the Reduced stress method to a real case (main roof of High Velocity railway station in Florence, Italy) and some considerations about the relationship with Effective cross section’s method.
