Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-4: General rules - Supplementary rules for stainless steels, or DIN EN 1993-1-4, is a standard that provides additional guidelines for the design of steel structures made from austenitic, austenitic-ferritic, and ferritic stainless steels. This standard serves as a supplement to other parts of EN 1993, namely EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3, EN 1993-1-5, and EN 1993-1-8.

The objective of DIN EN 1993-1-4 is to ensure the effective and safe use of stainless steel in structural designs, taking into account the specific properties and characteristics of these stainless steel grades. The standard outlines the necessary considerations and modifications to be made when applying the general provisions of EN 1993 to stainless steel structures.

This supplementary standard covers various aspects of design, including loadings, resistance calculations, material properties, and steel connections specific to stainless steels. It provides guidelines for determining the appropriate design values, taking into account the strength, ductility, and durability properties of stainless steel materials.

By providing these supplementary rules, DIN EN 1993-1-4 aims to promote the proper and reliable structural design of buildings and civil engineering works made from stainless steels. It ensures that stainless steel structures are designed and constructed in accordance with the latest industry standards and best practices, ensuring their safety and longevity.
