The outer rounding radius ro and the inner rounding radius r i are nominal values to be used in calculations and they are specified in the design standards EN 10210-2 §A.3 for hot finished structural hollow sections and EN 10219-2 §B.3 for cold formed structural hollow sections.
The section properties considered are the St. Venant torsional constant, J, the warping torsional constant, Cw, the shear centre location, yO , and the monosymmetry constant, βx . Also included are the torsional constant, C, and the shear constant, CRT, for hollow structural sections (HSS).
In most steel-framed structures, beams are subject only to bending and not to torsion. In buildings, beams are usually hot rolled I or H sections, proportioned for optimum bending performance about their major axis.
All section properties have been accurately calculated and rounded to three significant figures. They have been calculated from the metric dimensions given in the appropriate standards (see Section 1.1). For angles, BS EN 10056-1 assumes that the toe radius equals half the root radius.
Torsion Equations. Introduction..... Nomenclature..... Formulas..... Sections _ Structural Engineering..... Introduction. A bar of uniform section fixed at one end and subject to a torque at the extreme end which is applied normal to its axis will twist to some angle which is proportional to the applied torque.
Torsion of Rolled Steel Sections in Building Structures. TORSIONAL STRESSES in a steel framed building are rarely. serious enough to require design analysis. Many tor sional situations can be disregarded completely.
Chapters 2 and 3 provide an overview of the fundamentals and basic theory of torsional loading for structural steel members. Chapter 4 covers the determination of torsional stresses, their combination with other stresses, Specification provisions relating to torsion, and serviceability issues.
