Open Round Robin Competition

📅 Starting Today, 13.1.2025!

ℹ️CEN/TC 250/SC 3/WG 8 “𝘌𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘕 1993-1-8 – 𝘑𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴” has created a Task Group to prepare a new Annex to the second generation of Eurocode 3, part 1-8 (Design of Joints) that specifies the strain limits and equivalent requirements to allow for the numerical design calculation of joints in the scope of the new part 1-14 of Eurocode 3 (Design assisted by finite element analysis). More specifically, this annex will address the following issues:
- strain limits.
- material properties of bolts and welds.
- definition of model factor gamma_FE.
The adopted methodology to carry out this task includes an Open Blind Round Robin Competition of finite element numerical analysis of joint parts (e.g. bolts), components (e.g. T-stub), and joints.
ℹ️The objective of this Round Robin is to provide detailed validated results for the modelling of selected basic joint parts, components and joints that support the specification of the design criteria and provide a database of benchmarks for future possible assessment of the competences of FE modellers and/or software.
ℹ️The Open Round Robin starts on 13/1/2025, comprising several Benchmarks. Besides publishing the results in a Special Issue of a leading international scientific journal, an award will be given to the best participant for each Benchmark in an international scientific event throughout 2025 and 2026.
