Classification (Beams: AS 4100)

General

The classification of the cross section is in accordance with AS 4100. Beams can be classified for flexure about either principal axis as:

  • Compact
  • Non-compact
  • Slender

Slender sections about either axis will not be designed in Tekla Structural Designer.

All unacceptable classifications are either failed in check mode or rejected in design mode.
