NZS 3404-1997 Example 002

This document summarizes the results of testing the bending capacity calculations in SAP2000 software against hand calculations based on the NZS 3404-1997 steel design standard. A continuous column subjected to 1000 kN-m of moment was analyzed. SAP2000 correctly determined the section was compact, calculated the section bending capacity as 837.5 kN-m matching the independent calculation, and found the member bending capacity as 837.5 kN-m, matching the hand calculations exactly. The results demonstrate SAP2000's accuracy in modeling section and member bending behavior according to the NZS 3404-1997 standard.

WIDE FLANGE MEMBER UNDER BENDING

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The frame object bending strengths are tested in this example.

A continuous column is subjected to factored moment Mx = 1000 kN-m. This


example was tested using the NZS 3404-1997 steel frame design code. The
design capacities are compared with independent hand calculated results.
