Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-12: Additional rules for the extension of EN 1993 up to steel grades S700
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1993-1-12 standard provides guidelines for designing steel structures using steel grades higher than S460 up to S700. The standard can be used in conjunction with all 11 parts of EN 1993-1 to ensure the safe and effective design of such structures.
In cases where adjustments need to be made to existing rules in other parts of EN 1993-1 to accommodate steel grades above S460, this standard specifies the necessary modifications. This may involve indicating that a particular rule is not applicable for steel grades higher than S460 and providing an alternative rule to be used instead. Alternatively, additional rules may be introduced to address the requirements of using steel grades up to S700.
By incorporating this standard into the design process, engineers and designers can ensure that steel structures utilizing higher grade steels meet the necessary safety and performance criteria. It provides specific instructions and considerations for extending the design principles outlined in EN 1993-1 to encompass steel grades S460 to S700.
