Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures (EN 1993)

This section provides essential guides and calculation checks based on EN 1993 (Eurocode 3), the European standard for the design of steel structures. Navigate through key topics to understand requirements and perform necessary verifications.

Design checks

Select a topic below to dive into specific design aspects, calculation methodologies, and examples according to EN 1993-1-1 (General rules and rules for buildings).

• Cross-section classification

  Learn how to classify steel cross-sections (Class 1, 2, 3, or 4) based on their width-to-thickness ratios, which determines their resistance and rotation capacity.

• Beam analysis & checks

  Verify the resistance of steel beams under various loading conditions, including axial force (N), shear force (V), and bending moment (M).

• Fillet weld check

  Understand the design principles and perform checks for fillet welds connecting steel members, ensuring adequate strength and capacity.

• Clevis joint check

  Analyze and verify the capacity of clevis and pin connections, considering various failure modes like shear, bearing, and tension.
