I'm not that familiar with BS EN1993, however most design codes when checking joints will require a value for axial, inplane bending and out of plane bending loads in both the incoming brace and the chord. The code check is based on all...
I calculate the energy at 1.85MJ. This is very large. To put things in perspective, I design offshore oil platforms for a living and we would normally design a fixed offshore platform for about 8 times the ship impact energy as this truck impact. Only 8 times more and now compare an offshore oil...
The design of joints isn't that simple and there is a lot of scope to make a mistake if you do it by hand.
Are you using some kind of structural beam design software to do your analysis? If you say you are using FEA my first thought is why? If so, then it will almost certainly have the option...

The particular jacket I'm working on has a installation tolerance for verticality of 0.5 degree. This is a typical value.
In the past, I have never analysed the verticality tolerance for in. I've...
