| Summary: | The effective width method suggested in Eurocode 3 part 1-5 is studied and practiced for
manual calculation. The effective width method suggested that in order to determine the
strength of class 4 cross-section, it is necessary to carry out iterative calculation procedure to
obtain the effective section area. However, the iteration by manual calculation takes a great
deal amount of time to perform for even one round of iteration. Therefore, a calculation
spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic Application should be used to cater for
the efficiency and accuracy over the manual calculation. |
