The document compares the design buckling resistance of a steel column according to three different structural design standards: SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 (South African/Canadian standard), Eurocode 3, and AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 (Australian/New Zealand standard). It finds that while the standards have some similarities in their classification of cross-sections and consideration of effective lengths and imperfections, there are also differences. A worked example calculates the design buckling resistance of a specific steel column according to the South African standard and finds the capacity varies with the slenderness ratio and standard used.

Construction stage analysis of rcc frames project reportSayyad Wajed Ali
While analyzing a multistorey building frame, conventionally all the probable loads are applied after modeling the entire building frame. But in practice the frame is constructed in various stages. Accordingly, the stability of frame varies at every construction stage. Even during construction freshly placed concrete floor is supported by previously cast floor by formwork. Thus, the loads assumed in conventional analysis will vary in transient situation. Obviously, results obtained by the traditional analysis will be unsuitable. Therefore, the frame should be analyzed at every construction stage taking into account variation in loads. The phenomenon known as Construction Stage Analysis considers these uncertainties precisely. This paper analyzes several numbers of multistorey reinforced concrete building frames of different bay width and length, storey height and number of stories using STAADpro, followed by the construction stage analysis of each model. Also all full frame models are analyzed for earthquake forces in Zone - II (IS 1893 : 2002). Finally, a comparative study of Axial forces, Bending moments, Shear forces and Twisting moments was done at every storey for full frame model (without earthquake forces) and construction stage model (without earthquake forces).

Design and comparison of a residential building (g+10) for seismic forces usi...eSAT Journals
Abstract Earthquakes take a huge toll on life and property. Since the effect of seismic forces on structures is quite significant, it is important that the design of the structures must be done in the best possible way to take into account these effects and thereby aiming for an adequate structural response. Different international seismic codes differ significantly in parameters specified. With the variations in parameters the performance of the building varies. Hence, it is necessary to do a comparative study so as to conclude which building will perform better. This paper presents with the analysis and design of a G+10 for seismic forces using four international building standards- IS1893, Euro code 8, ASCE7-10 and the British Codes. The analysis of the building was done using STAAD.Pro.V8i. The building was then designed as per the specified codes. Once the design was completed a pushover analysis was done in SAP2000 to check the seismic performance of the building. A comparative study between the design and the seismic performance of the building was done. Keywords: Seismic forces, Seismic Standard, Seismic performance, Comparative Analysis.

Some transition metal ions Complexes with 5-({4-amino-2-[(Z)-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) amino]
pyrimidin-5-yl} methyl)-2,3,4-trimethoxybenzene were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses,
Infrared , magnetic moment, electronic spectra , mass spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, molar conductance
and thermal analysis (TGA). The complexes have general formulae [ML2.2H2O] {where M = Mn (II), Co (II), Ni
(II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Pd (II) and Pt (II). The coordination behavior of the metal ions towards to the investigated
Schiff base takes place through –C=N,-NH2 and –OH groups. The obtained C, H and N elemental analysis data
showed the Metal: Ligand ratio is 1:2 [M: L] ratio. The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal
complexes are non-electrolytic in nature. From the magnetic moments the complexes are paramagnetic except
Zn metal ion complexes have octahedral geometry with coordination number eight. The thermal behavior of
these complexes shows that, the hydrated complexes have loses two water molecules and immediately followed
by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in the second and third stage. The Schiff bases and metal
complexes show good activity against some bacteria. The antimicrobial results indicate that, the metal
complexes have better antimicrobial activity as compared to the prepared Schiff base.
Abstract: An audio mixer amplifier is a device that translates a signal of one frequency band to another. It will accept many inputs at different frequencies and generate an output of the combination or sum of the frequencies. The mixer circuit provides good gain to weak audio signals. It can be used in front of an R.F. oscillator to make an R.F. receiver that is very sensitive to sound. Each input can be independently controlled by a variable resistor. There is also a provision for a balance control to fade out signal while simultaneously fading in the other. Key Words: Audio Mixer, Frequency, Signal, Circuit
Chemical Reaction Effects on Free Convective Flow of a Polar Fluid from a Ver...IOSR Journals
This article deals with a study of two dimensional free convective flow of a polar fluid through a porous medium due to combined effects of thermal and mass diffusion in presence of a chemical reaction of first order. The objective of the present investigation is to analyze the free convective flow in the presence of prescribed wall heat flux and mass flux condition. The governing partial differential equations are non-dimensionalized and transformed into a system of non-similar equations. The resulting coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically under appropriate transformed boundary conditions using an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with quasilinearisation technique. Computations are performed for a wide range of values of the various governing flow parameters of the velocity, angular velocity, temperature and species concentration profiles and results are presented graphically. The numerical results for local skin friction coefficient, couple stress coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented. The obtained results are compared with previously published work and were to be in excellent agreement. The study reveals that the flow characteristics are profoundly influenced by the polar effects

In the present study Carbon nanotube(CNT) reinforced (Al) composite was synthesized by physical mixing method and CNT’s distribution within the matrix was traced and characterized. Ultrasonication was used to disperse the CNTs in Al nano powder followed by magnetic stirring. Samples of different weight percentage of CNT(0.5wt %, 1wt %, 1.5wt %, 2wt % of CNT) were obtained using this technique. Stuructural characteristics of the samples were explored using X-Ray diffraction(XRD),Scanning Electronic Microscope(SEM) and Transmission Electronic Microscope(TEM) technologies. Uniform distribution of CNTs within the matrix and the strength of metal/CNT interface were confirmed from SEM and TEM images. Along with the distribution of CNTs, XRD also validates the phase composition of the composite.
Assessment the Limit of Steel Core Area in the Encased Composite ColumnIJERA Editor
This study has been carried out to evaluate the method of design of the composite column of reinforced concrete
and steel structural sections in the international Codes. Studying and verifying the limit of the ratio of steel
section area to total gross section area is the important aim of this research. AISC, 2005 was specifying this limit
by 1.0%. Various ratios of steel core area to total gross section area were studied along with rang of concrete
strength by the help of finite element software. The results show that the ratio of the steel core area to the total
gross section area (As
/Ag) should be replaced by the ratio of the ultimate capacity of the steel core to the total
ultimate capacity of the complete composite section (Pys/P0). The new ratio takes into account the effect of
relative strength between steel and concrete. The proposed limit for (Pys/P0) is between (25%) to (30%).

Influence Of Surface Roughness On Ultra-High-Cycle Fatigue Of Aisi 4140 Steel.IJERA Editor
Low and high-cycle fatigue life regimes are well studied and are relatively well understood. However, recent fatigue studies on steels have shown that fatigue failures can occur at low amplitudes even below the conventional fatigue limit in the ultra-high-cycle fatigue range (life higher than 107 cycles). Fatigue life in the regime of 106 to 108 cycles-to-failure in terms of the influence of manufacturing processes on fatigue strength is examined. Specifically, the influence of surface roughness of turned surfaces of AISI 4140 steel specimens on fatigue strength in the giga cycle or ultra-high-cycle fatigue range is evaluated. The fatigue experiments were carried out at room temperature, with zero mean stress, on a rotating-bending fatigue testing machine of the constant bending moment type. The fatigue strength of the specimens were determined using the staircase (or up-and-down) method.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Abstract: Nowadays; design, fabrication and erection of steel structures can be taken place at different
locations as a result of rapid globalization; owners may require the use of widely accepted steel design codes.
Therefore, engineers are faced with the challenge of being competent with several design specifications for a
particular material type. The South African/Canadian Standard (SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005),
European code( Eurocode 3) and Australian/New Zealand (AS4100:1998/NZS3404:1997) standard are
accepted steel structure design specifications that utilize limit state principles with some similarities and
differences in application. Hereby a study has been undertaken to identify the similarities and the differences
presented in these standards/codes through steel column design buckling resistance. Classification of cross-
sections, effective lengths, column buckling curves and a worked example are considered in this paper. The
results show that the differences in capacity between codes vary with the slenderness ratio of the column.

I. Introduction
During last two decades many changes had occurred in the science of Structural Engineering.
Knowledge of structural theory had expanded and the use of computer aided design has encouraged greater
sophistication in the analysis of steel structure in the elastic and inelastic range. Also steel quality and
constructional methods are continually being improved and these factors help in development of “rational
design technique”. Design in steel used to be regarded as a “black art” where one only reached a level of
competence after 20 years of hard work experience. Whilst, of course, experience is still very important, the
designer is now much better supported and is able to be more accurate. Computers have made routine, levels of
analysis that would otherwise have taken much manual calculation much easier. Codes of practice have become
more comprehensive.
In Europe, “Design of Steel Structures, EN 1993(2003)” was developed by the European Committee
for Standardization. This specification, hereafter referred to as EC3, is based on limit state principles using
partial safety factor (γM). In general, the characteristic strength is divided by a partial safety factor and then
compared with the factored loads.
The Canadian Standard on limit states design of steel structures was developed in collaboration with
the South African SANS 10162-1, as a result of an initiative by and cooperation between the Canadian Institute
of Steel Construction and the Southern African Institute of Steel Construction. The outcome is an identical
standard being applied in both countries. The Canadian standard was reaffirmed in 2007, with some changes.
None of these changes affect the clauses under consideration.
The New Zealand standard on steel structures, NZS 3404:1997 was published jointly with the
Australian standard on steel structures, AS 4100:1998.
This paper compares the design buckling resistance of a steel column section between SANS 10162: 1-
2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005; EN 1993-1-1:2005 and AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997.
The cross-sections classification is compared. The effective lengths and the buckling curves are also
compared. In order to illustrate what has been said below a worked example is proposed. Results and discussion
are presented. Finally, conclusions for this research are given.

II. Classification of Cross Sections
The definitions of cross-sections in SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005, Eurocode 3 and
AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 codes have similarities. The classification of a specific cross-section in SANS
10162 : 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005, Eurocode 3 and AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 codes depends on the
width-to-thickness ratio and the material yield strength, fy of each of its compression members. SANS 10162 :
1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005, Eurocode 3 and AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997gives the formulation to
calculate the effective dimensions of class 4 (slender) section and subsequently specify the corresponding design
strength formulae for class 4 (slender) sections. Eurocode 3 specifies the limiting width-to-thickness ratios for
class 1, class 2, class 3 and class 4 cross sections whereas in SANS 10162 : 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005
we have to just check that the section doesn’t fall in slender class (class 4) so that whole cross sectional area is
effective in compression (see in Table 1 and Table 2 the limiting values to Eurocode 3 for each class and SANS
10162 : 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 for sections other than class 4 respectively).

It should also be emphasized that minor differences in the width-thickness ratio definitions are also
present. For example, in SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 and AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997
half the flange width is used in determining the flange slenderness. In Eurocode 3, however, only the
outstanding portion of the flange that is measured from the toe of the fillet is used in calculations.
For a compression member AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 doesn’t classify the section as compact,non-
compact and slender, but to calculate the effective dimensions AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 gives the plate
element slenderness formula which the values are compared with plate element yield slenderness limits given in
table of AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997.

III. Effective Lengths (Buckling Lengths) and The Column Buckling Curves
Eurocode 3 gives no direct guidance on calculating the buckling length. In SANS 10162: 1-2005/
CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 in variation between 0.65 and 2.0 would apply to the majority of cases likely to be
encountered in actual structures whereas in AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 in variation between 0.7 and 2.2
would apply as well. Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b) illustrates six idealized cases to SANS 10162: 1-2005/
CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 and AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997respectively.

AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 (AS, 1998).
To take into account the various imperfections ( lack of verticality, lack of straightness, lack of flatness,
lack of fit, eccentricity of loading, residual stresses etc.) which the Euler formula does not allow for, SANS
10162: 1-2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005, Eurocode 3 and AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 uses the Perry-
Robertson approach (Ayrton and Perry 1886; Robertson 1925).
Figure 3 shows the column buckling curves; it presents the strength reduction factor, as a function of
the non-dimensional slenderness, to Eurocode 3. The figure 3 indicates that increasing the non-dimensional
slenderness reduces the strength reduction factor of the columns. Figure 4 shows the buckling curves and
defines the parameter (n) used to take into account the column imperfections to SANS 10162: 1-2005/
CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005. Figure 5 shows the buckling curves and the variation of slenderness reduction factor,
with modified slenderness ratio, as given in the Australian/New Zealand standard. It indicates that
increasing the modified slenderness ratio reduces the slenderness reduction factor of the columns.
Two column strength curves are given in SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 whereas five
separate curves are presented in Eurocode 3 and in AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 (see in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig.
5 column buckling curves to Eurocode 3, SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 and AS
4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 respectively).
Eurocode 3 utilizes an imperfection coefficient (α) to distinguish between different column strength
curves. For flexural buckling, five cases termed as ao, a, b, c, d (see Fig. 3) are given for which the α values are
0.13, 0.21, 0.34, 0.49, and 0.76, respectively. The choice as to which buckling curve to adopt is dependent upon
the geometry and material properties of the cross section and upon the axis of buckling. The rules for selecting
the appropriate column strength curve are tabulated in Table 6.2 of Eurocode 3. Hereby the appropriate column
strength curve is presented in Table 3 of this paper.

SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 utilizes a parameter (n) (see Fig. 4) to take into
account the column imperfections. For flexural buckling, n= 1.34 (for hot-rolled, fabricated structural sections,
and hollow structural sections manufactured according to SANS 657-1/CSA Standard G40.20,class C); or 2.24
(for doubly symmetric welded three-plate members with flange edges oxy-flame-cut and hollow structural
sections manufactured according to ISO 657-14/CSA Standard G40.20,class H).

AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 uses a member section type constant ( (see Fig. 5)
( to allow for imperfections. The value of this constant varies according to the
member type (hot- rolled, cold-formed, welded, etc).

IV. Worked Example
4.1. General
To compare the design buckling resistance between codes it is best to consider same section with same
properties;same steel grades;same effective lengths; same modulus of elasticities and same shear modulus.

300W steel. Assume the effective length is 2000mm. Take modulus of Elasticity E= 200x103

Calculation of the elastic critical buckling stress in axial compression (fe) :
The elastic critical buckling stress in axial compression for x-x and y-y axis flexural buckling are determined, by
the following expressions:
fex = = 2482 Mpa (1)
and
fey = = 235 Mpa respectively. (2)
where E is the Young’s modulus, K the effective length factor, L the actual length of the column and r the radius
of gyration about x-x or y-y axis.
fez = x = 481 Mpa (3)

is the elastic critical buckling stress in axial compression for torsional buckling in which E is the Young’s
modulus, the warping torsional constant, KL the effective length, the shear modulus, St. venant

fexz = = 455 Mpa (5)
is the flexural-torsional buckling stress.
fe = min{fey, fexz}= 235 Mpa (6)

Therefore the factored compressive resistance of member (Cr) is:

where λ = = 1.130; Ф = 0.9; A = 2.68x103

Therefore the design buckling resistance is:

Therefore the member capacity ( ) is:

V. Results And Discussion
The section slenderness, slenderness limits and section classification for a PFC SA of each
standard/code are listed in Table 4. It indicates that the flange slenderness of the sections in the three standards
are very similar. The AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 web slenderness of the sections, flange and web slenderness
limits are higher than Eurocode 3 and SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005. The web slenderness of
Eurocode 3 and SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 are the same.

It shows that the differences in capacity between codes vary with the slenderness ratio of the column.
For a PFC SA parallel flange channel section, Eurocode 3 gives higher capacity about a range of 3% -
10 % than AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 (see Table 5) between the slenderness ratio values of 91.74 - 504.58.
And at slenderness ratio value of 45.87, AS 4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 gives 10.66% (see Table 5) higher
capacity compared to Eurocode 3. The difference between Eurocode 3 and SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-
S16-01:2005 is minimal and in the range of 0% - 4 % (see Table 5). From slenderness ratio value of 91.74 -
504.58, SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 gives higher capacity compared to AS
4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 about a range of 4% - 9 % (see Table 5). And at slenderness ratio value of 45.87, AS
4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 gives 13.62 % (see Table 5) higher capacity compared to SANS 10162-
1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005.
The curves of Figure 6 illustrate the comparison of the column design buckling resistance for varying
slenderness ratio of the PFC SA column section. We observe that the design buckling resistance of the column
of each standard/ code decreases when its slenderness ratio increases also the differences in capacity between
codes vary with the slenderness ratio of the column.

VI. Conclusions
The following conclusions were obtained based on the conducted studies in this paper:
1- Eurocode 3 allows for a greater number of design options and analysis technique than
AS4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 and SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005.
2- SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005, Eurocode 3 and AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 uses the
Perry-Robertson approach to evaluate the compression capacity of member. Two column strength curves
are given in SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 whereas five separate curves are presented in

Eurocode 3 and in AS 4100:1998/NZS 3404:1997 to define the reduction in capacity for compression
members.
3- SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 and AS4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 uses Ф = 0.9 as resistance
factor while Eurocode 3 uses 1/γM1=1.0 as resistance factor in flexural buckling equations.
4- Table 4 indicate that the flange slenderness of the sections in the three standards are very similar. The AS
4100:1998/NZS3404:1997 web slenderness of the sections, flange and web slenderness limits are higher
than Eurocode 3 and SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005. The web slenderness of Eurocode 3
and SANS 10162: 1-2005/ CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005 are the same.
5- Eurocode 3 offers much more detailed provisions, through multiple curves compared to AS 4100:1998/NZS
3403: 1997 and SANS 10162-1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005.
6- AS 4100:1998/NZS 3403:1997 is significantly less complex compared to Eurocode 3 and SANS 10162-
1:2005/CAN/CSA-S16-01:2005.
