Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures

Eurocode 3 is intended to be used in conjunction with: EN 1993-1-1 gives basic design rules for steel structures with material thicknesses t ≥ 3 mm.

The execution of steel structures made of cold-formed thin gauge members and sheeting is covered in EN 1090.

EN 1993-1-10 provides the guidelines for the selection of steel for fracture toughness and through-thickness properties of welded elements where there is a significant risk of lamellar tearing during the fabrication process.

EN 1993-1-11 gives design rules for structures with tension components made of steel which due to their connections are adjustable and replaceable.

These components due to their adjustability and replaceability properties are mostly pre-fabricated delivered on-site and installed into the structure as a whole.

EN 1993-3-1 applies to the structural design of vertical steel towers, masts and chimneys, and is concerned only with their resistance, serviceability and durability.

EN 1993-3-2 applies to the structural design of vertical steel chimneys of circular or conical section.

EN 1993-4-2 provides principles and application rules for the structural design of vertical cylindrical above ground steel storage tanks for liquid products with the following characteristics: EN 1993-4-3 deals with the analysis and design of steel pipelines used for the transport of liquids and gases under normal temperatures.
