Druckbeanspruchte Winkelprofile mit Ein‐Schrauben‐Anschluß – Bemessung nach den Normen DIN 18800‐2 und EC 1993‐3‐1 (Türme und Maste)

Dimensioning of pressed angle steel with one screw joint based on the standards DIN 18800 vol. 2 and EC 1993‐3‐1 (towers and masts). There are different kinds of methods for the structural analysis of the stability of angle steel in mast constructions in DIN 18800 vol. 2 and Eurocode 1993‐3‐1. It depends on the kind of joint with one or two screws. The calculated loading capacities for a one screw joint based on Eurocode are significant higher than the results based on DIN . Comparing calculating with the Finite Element Method as well as experiments with equal‐leg angles show the simplified method of the EC 1993‐3‐1 for the one screw joint in the existing form is not wise to be used in practice.
