51. Structural Member Model
Stable section ID: S05-CON-007-SECTION-52 · 67 content blocks
A Structural Member is a Component intended to participate in one or more load paths.
Structural Member Types may include:
beam;
column;
brace;
joist;
rafter;
truss element;
wall element;
slab element;
foundation element;
cable;
tension rod;
hybrid member.
Each Structural Member shall define:
Member ID;
member type;
analytical role;
material;
physical geometry;
analytical geometry;
section properties;
local coordinate system;
placement;
end conditions;
structural Interfaces;
End Cartridges;
supported actions;
capacity;
demand references;
stability requirements;
fire condition;
lifecycle condition.
Example:
structural_member Beam_B01 : Beam {
id: "s05:member:beam-b01";
material: @Timber_GL24_Batch_021;
physical_geometry: @Beam_B01_Geometry;
analytical_axis: @Beam_B01_Axis;
local_coordinates: @Beam_B01_CS;
section {
type: rectangular;
width: 140 mm;
depth: 240 mm;
}
end_a: @EndCartridge_EC01;
end_b: @EndCartridge_EC02;
- supported_actions: [
- axial,
- shear_y,
- shear_z,
- bending_y,
- bending_z,
- torsion
];
}
The physical Member and analytical Member representation shall remain linked but distinct.
The Structural Member Model shall support:
releases;
eccentricities;
effective lengths;
unbraced lengths;
imperfections;
composite action;
temporary erection conditions;
- damage and reduced capacity.
- Capacity values shall identify the governing Profile, analysis method, safety factors, and evidence.
