Bending stress greater than code stress? - 05/18/16 01:54 PM
I'm trying to wrap my head around this one, but in the Stresses Extended Report, isn't the Bending Stress essentially the same term in the longitudinal stress equation? (not sue if SIF is included in Bending Stress, but if it isn't that would just make the difference greater...). Does it make sense that the Bending stress reported can be higher than the Code stress?
Sustained Case Example:
Node 4508
Bending Stress: 22369.8 kPa
Code Stress: 20974.2 kPa
SIFi: 1.157
SIFo = 1
I noticed this more in an Occasional Case that was built off of the above SUS case, although chalked it up to maybe it being a quirk in the way the cases are combined (which is why I went back and looked at the root SUS case)
Occasional Case (above SUS + Seismic)
Node 4508
Bending Stress: 194998.7 kPa
Code Stress: 148599.7 kPa
SIFi: 1.157
SIFo = 1
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. A bit embarrassed to be stumped over something simple like this but here I am
