hi,
i've annotated an imperfection in the CAESAR II quick reference guide in the indication of the evaluation of the admissible stress formula for the SUS loading case, for normal and alternate options respectively:
Pcdo/4en + 0.75iMA/Z < kfn
Sl = Pcdo/4en + SbA < kfn
the correct values of admissible stress must not be multiplied by k (occasional load factor), and the formula must be
Pcdo/4en + 0.75iMA/Z < fn
Sl = Pcdo/4en + SbA < fn
(ref. par. 12.3.3-1 of EN13480)
please confirm.
thanx
