Sec.6 Failure mechanisms and design criteria – Page 121<br />

shall be performed as described in Sec.9 [11]. Reduction of mechanical properties due to local failure such as<br />

matrix cracking or delamination shall be taken into account.<br />

8.4.11 If the condition described in Sec.9 [11.2.5] is satisfied, the analysis may be performed without<br />

geometric non-linearity provided the load effect modelling factor is increased as specified. In such a case the<br />

geometrical imperfections must still be included.<br />

8.4.12 Sec.9 [11.2.4] provides an approximate way of estimating the combined influence of imperfections and<br />

in-plane or axial loading, based on the use of linear analysis.<br />

8.4.13 The calculated resistance is to be considered as a mean strength from a probabilistic point of view.<br />

8.4.14 Variability to the mean strength is introduced by:<br />

— uncertainties in the stiffness parameters that are used in the buckling calculations<br />

— uncertainties in geometric parameters<br />

— uncertainties in size of imperfections and how imperfections are considered.<br />

8.4.15 To reflect the uncertainty introduced by geometrical imperfections, the partial load effect model factor<br />

for checks on failure mechanisms referred to in [8.4.8] shall be based on a COV of 15% unless lower values<br />

can be justified.<br />

9 Displacements<br />

9.1 General<br />

9.1.1 Maximum displacements shall be defined as extreme values with a small probability of being exceeded<br />

and without uncertainties or tolerances associated with them. The following design criterion shall be fulfilled:<br />

9.1.2 Displacements shall be calculated as described in Sec.9 or shall be measured directly. A reduction of<br />

stiffness of the structure due to material non-linearity or due to time dependent effects on the elastic constants<br />

shall be considered. Plastic deformations due to permanent static or fatigue loads shall also be considered.<br />

9.1.3 The failure type (Sec.2 [3.4]) associated with a displacement requirement shall be decided on an<br />

individual basis.<br />

Guidance note:<br />

If the displacement requirement requires that:<br />

- the structure should never touch the neighbouring structure locally, the failure type would be brittle<br />

- the structure can touch the neighbouring structure locally at low loads, the failure type would be plastic<br />

- the structure can touch the neighbouring structure locally at loads that may cause some permanent damage the<br />

failure type would be ductile.<br />

If the structures may touch each other slightly, the corresponding loads and possible damage effects shall be analysed.<br />

9.1.4 If the criterion is used in combination with a linear non-degraded analysis according to Sec.9 [2.4], all<br />

strains and stresses in fibre direction above the level to initiate matrix cracking shall be multiplied by the<br />

analysis factor γ a from Sec.9 [3.2].<br />
