Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 2: Steel Bridges
Also Known As:
EN 1993-2, titled Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 2: Steel Bridges, is a standard that provides guidelines for the structural design of steel bridges and steel components of composite bridges. It serves as a supplement to, modifies, or replaces the provisions outlined in various parts of DIN EN 1993-1.
The standard primarily focuses on the resistance, serviceability, and durability of bridge structures and does not address other aspects of design. Therefore, for the execution of steel bridge structures, compliance with EN 1090 is recommended. EN 1090 covers the necessary construction materials and products, as well as the required workmanship quality on-site.
It is important to mention that the standard does not include specific provisions for seismic design. For such requirements, reference must be made to EN 1998, which complements and modifies the rules of EN 1993-2 to address seismic design considerations.
