The model shows a steel frame that takes into account the cross-section reduction due to bolt holes in the components subjected to tension. It demonstrates how to perform the design of the tension resistance according to DIN EN 1993-1-1 by using the net-cross sectional area in the RF-/STEEL EC3 add-on module. Important technical aspects, such as the frame, the tension design, the crossing, and the hole weakening, are presented in a practical way.
