Norsok N004 Members (Rev. 3, 2013)

Norsok N004 Members (Rev. 3, February 2013) Standard - specifies structural strength and stability requirements for steel tubular members.

This standard is applied to the cylindrical members with Thickness ≥ 6mm, ratio D / t < 120 and Yield < 500 MPa.

To add the standard execute Standards - Main - Other - Norsok N004 Members (Rev. 3, 2013) from the ribbon:

Press to Set Standard Custom Settings

Safety Factors are set to Standard default values. It is not necessary to change them. Material Safety Factor is calculated according to the section 6.3.7 by default but it is possible to set a constant value.

According to the calculation procedure, Beam Length for Y and Z direction is required. Data from Beam Member Finder is used automatically. If beam members are not recognized press .

Standard uses material data (Yield/Tensile) in calculations. Wizard checks if the values are defined for all materials.

It is possible to use Norsok N004 Members (Rev. 3, 2013) in combination with AISC 360-10 Members (14^th, 2010) or Eurocode3 Members (EN1993-1-1, 2005). Set option Calculate Non-Tubular Shapes According To: checked and pick the standard for non-tubular elements. Press to define settings.

Note: If the AISC 360-10 or Eurocode3 is included - 3 standards will be created:

• Norsok N004 - circular tubes are calculated according to Norsok N004;
• AISC 360-10 / Eurocode3 - all supported shapes are calculated according to AISC 360-10 / Eurocode3;
• AISC/Eurocode3 and Norsok - combined standard where results for circular tubes are taken from Norsok N004 and results for other supported shapes - according to AISC 360-10 / Eurocode3.
