Profile overview for CHS 813/12
The CHS 813/12 is a structural steel cross-section utilized in commercial construction, industrial framing, and mechanical engineering. Manufactured as a cold formed section, it complies with EN 10219-2 dimensional standards, ensuring predictability in detailing and fabrication.Access to its exact geometric and statical properties is essential for 3D modeling and structural verification.
Geometry: This circular hollow section features a nominal outer diameter of 813 mm and a uniform wall thickness of 12 mm. With a cross-sectional area of 30196.98859 mm² and a linear mass of 237.0463604 kg/m, the CHS 813/12 offers a distinct stiffness-to-weight ratio for both column (axial) and beam applications.
Section properties: For design of bending, the major and minor axis properties dictate the member's structural capacity. The strong-axis moment of inertia (Iy) of 2422345805 mm⁴ governs major deflection and serviceability limits. To calculate the ultimate bending resistance, engineers may utilize the strong-axis plastic section modulus of 7699788 mm³. For lateral stability and column buckling verifications, the weak-axis moment of inertia (Iz) provides 2422345805 mm⁴ of lateral stiffness.
Advanced analysis: For complex load cases, the CHS 813/12 provides a y-axis shear area (at strong bending axis) of 19224 mm² for web shear verification and a torsion constant of 4844691610 mm⁴ for calculating rotational twist under eccentric loading.
