DIN EN 1993-1-11 PDF Download

This standard, DIN EN 1993-1-11, is part of Eurocode 3 which is titled "Design of Steel Structures." Specifically, it focuses on the design of structures with tension components. These tension components are made of steel and are adjustable and replaceable, meaning they can be easily modified or substituted as needed.

The standard acknowledges that such tension components are often prefabricated products that are delivered to the construction site and installed as a whole. This implies that the standard provides guidelines for the design and installation of these tension components in the larger structure.

However, it is important to note that tension components that are not adjustable or replaceable, such as air spun cables in suspension bridges, are not covered in this particular part of the Eurocode 3 standard. Nonetheless, the rules provided in this section may still be applicable to other types of tension components.

Additionally, DIN EN 1993-1-11 also includes rules for determining the technical requirements for prefabricated tension components in a structure, as well as assessing their safety, serviceability, and durability. This ensures that the tension components used in the structure meet the necessary quality and performance standards.
