Formulae for the calculation of sectional properties
A.1 General
Tables B.1, B.2, B.3 and B.4 of this standard give nominal sectional properties for a limited range of sizes
of cold formed hollow sections. The nominal sectional properties of hollow sections supplied to the
requirements of this standard shall be calculated using the formulae given below.
NOTE The designation of the sections' major axis (yy) and minor axis (zz) aligns with the axis designation
used for structural design in the structural Eurocodes. This is a change from previous axis designations.
A.2 Circular hollow sections
The sectional properties for circular hollow sections in Table B.1 are calculated using the formulae
given below
Specified outside diameter (D) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
Inside diameter (d = D - 2T) (mm)
These parameters, which characterize the shape of circular hollow sections, may vary within the
tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.

A.3 Rectangular or square, hollow sections
The sectional properties for square hollow sections in Table B.2 and for rectangular hollow sections in
Table B.3 are calculated using the formulae given below
Specified side dimension of a square hollow section or shorter side of (B) (mm)
a rectangular hollow section
Specified dimension of the longer side of a rectangular hollow section (H) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
External corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
o
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 2,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm ≤ 10 mm 2,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10mm 3,0 T (mm)
Internal corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
i
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 1,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm and ≤ 10 mm 1,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10 mm 2,0 T (mm)
These parameters, which characterize the geometric shape of rectangular, or square, hollow sections,
may vary within the tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.

7.2 Outside dimensions
For circular hollow sections the diameter (D) and for elliptical hollow sections the outside dimensions
(B and H) shall be measured either directly, e.g. using a calliper gauge, or for circular tubes by
circumference tape at the discretion of the manufacturer.
The limiting cross-sectional positions for measuring B and H for square and rectangular hollow sections
are shown in Figure 1.
7.3 Thickness
The thickness (T) shall be measured at a position not less than 2T from the weld.
The limiting cross-sectional positions for measuring the thickness of square and rectangular hollow
sections are shown in Figure 1.
NOTE Thickness is normally measured within a distance of half the outside diameter or half the dimension of
the longer side from the end of the section.
Dimensions in millimetres

Annex A
(informative)

Additional tolerances for piling tube
A.1 General
This annex contains guidance on additional tolerances that can be applied to tubes when they are to be
used as bearing piles or primary elements in combined walls in accordance with EN 1993-5. These
requirements are generally relevant to tubes of diameter ≥ 900 mm and D/T ≥ 50.
For verification of tubular piles subject to shell buckling, EN 1993-5: Piling refers to EN 1993-1-6. Shell
buckling is partly governed by geometrical imperfections of the shell due to out-of-roundness,
accidental eccentricity and dimples. EN 1993-1-6 specifies limits for each of these geometrical
imperfections, based on the concept of fabrication quality classes. Details of how to assess out-of-
roundness, accidental eccentricity and dimples, and the recommended maximum permitted values for
each fabrication quality class, are given in A.2, A.3 and A.4.
NOTE 1 See EN 1993-1-6 for further details of fabrication tolerance quality classes, their design implications
and for definitions and use of symbols.
NOTE 2 The values of certain parameters, given in Tables A.1, A.2 and A.3 may be subject to change by national
application of EN 1993-1-6. Nationally determined parameters will be given in the relevant National Annex of
EN 1993-1-6.
A.2 Out of roundness tolerance
Out-of-roundness of a tubular pile is assessed in terms of the parameter U the difference between the
r
maximum and minimum values of the measured internal diameter, relative to the nominal inside
diameter, see Figure A.1, given by:
dd−

U =

where
d is the maximum measured internal diameter;
max
dmin is the minimum measured internal diameter;
d is the nominal inside diameter (d = D – 2T, see B.2).

An appropriate number of diameters should be measured in order to identify the maximum and
minimum values.

Formulae for the calculation of sectional properties
A.1 General
Tables B.1, B.2, B.3 and B.4 of this standard give nominal sectional properties for a limited range of sizes
of cold formed hollow sections. The nominal sectional properties of hollow sections supplied to the
requirements of this standard shall be calculated using the formulae given below.
NOTE The designation of the sections' major axis (yy) and its minor axis (zz) align with the axis designation
used for structural design in the structural Eurocodes. This is a change from previous axis designations.
A.2 Circular hollow sections
The sectional properties for circular hollow sections in Table B.1 are calculated using the formulae
given below
Specified outside diameter (D) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
Inside diameter (d = D - 2T) (mm)
These parameters, which characterize the shape of circular hollow sections, may vary within the
tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.

A.3 Rectangular or square, hollow sections
The sectional properties for square hollow sections in Table B.2 and for rectangular hollow sections in
Table B.3 are calculated using the formulae given below
Specified side dimension of a square hollow section or shorter side of (B) (mm)
a rectangular hollow section
Specified dimension of the longer side of a rectangular hollow section (H) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
External corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
o
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 2,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm ≤ 10 mm 2,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10mm 3,0 T (mm)
Internal corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
i
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 1,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm and ≤ 10 mm 1,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10 mm 2,0 T (mm)
These parameters, which characterize the geometric shape of rectangular, or square, hollow sections,
may vary within the tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.
