Dear All,
I have to check the stresses in the dished end due to platform cleat. The platform cleat is C shaped channel. WRC 107 analysis can be done only for Square or circular attachment. So I have to consider the cleat as square attachment. My question is that how to calculate parameter C11 when the attachment is C shaped channel

Regards,
Rajendra

Hello Rajendra,

Modelling the cleat as a square section will get you into the ballpark. It is the only way this can be done with WRC 107.
