Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 1-6: Strength and Stability of Shell Structures
Also Known As:
EN 1993-1-6, titled "Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 1-6: Strength and Stability of Shell Structures," provides fundamental design guidelines for plated steel structures that have a shell-like shape. This standard specifically focuses on structures that have a rotational symmetry, such as cylindrical tanks, silos, and pipelines.
The main objective of EN 1993-1-6 is to ensure the strength and stability of these shell structures. It addresses various design criteria, including the calculation of loads and stresses, the selection of suitable materials, and the determination of appropriate cross-sectional dimensions for the plates and stiffeners. Moreover, it also covers the consideration of geometric imperfections and the assessment of buckling resistance.
