Verification of Steel Cross-Sections
SQN+
The SQN+ programme performs verifications of steel cross-sections in the ultimate limit state. The verifications are based on Eurocode 3.

- Structural steel: S235, S275, S355, S450
- Annealed steel (S275N – S460N)
- Thermo-steel (S275M – S460M)
- Weathering steel (S235W – S355W)
- High-temperature steel (S460Q – S460QL1)
- Hollow section, hot-finished (S235H – S355H)
- Hollow section, hot-finished, fine-grain (S275NH – S460NH)
- User-defined steel
- Aluminium (extruded, drawn, sheeting, forged products and user-defined type)
Structural system
Cross-sections:
- I-sections, U-sections, T-sections, angle-sections, C-sections, square, rectangular and circular hollow sections, round steel and flat steel as standard shapes and as user-defined shapes
- Multi-part metal sheet cross-sections from the Q3 programme
Loads
- Design internal forces from normal force, moment (My, Mz), primary and secondary torsional moment (MxI, MxII), warping moment (Mw) and shear force (Vy, Vz).
- Multiple combinations of design internal forces can be entered
The cross-section is verified in the ultimate limit state as per DIN EN 1993-1-1, 6.2.
According to DIN EN 1993-1-1, 5.5, the steel cross-section is classified in one of the cross-section classes 1 to 4 depending on the applying effects of actions and the c/t ratio of its cross-section parts under compression. The verification of the cross-section is determined by the classification. For the cross-section classes 1 to 3, the verification can optionally be based on Equation 6.1 (stress resistance verification) and Equation 6.2 (utilisation of plastic load-bearing capacities in accordance with the cross-section class). The verification for cross-section class 4 is performed using the effective cross-sectional properties.

Corporate headquarters as reinforced concrete skeleton structure
With the construction of a new corporate headquarters, Heidelberg Materials has demonstrated the remarkable range of reinforced concrete as an attractive building material. FRILO and Allplan were used by the structural engineers.
FRILO launches version 2024-2 with powerful updates for structural analysis and design
Highlights include the optimised design of Schöck Isokörbe®, the advanced integration of DC foundation engineering programs into the FRILO environment and new RSX interfaces for detail verifications in steel construction.
