Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-10: Material toughness and through-thickness properties
Also Known As:
EN 1993-1-10, also known as Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-10: Material toughness and through-thickness properties, is a standard that provides guidelines and rules for the design and selection of steel materials with enhanced resistance against brittle fracture and lamellar tearing.
The standard focuses on the impact toughness and through-thickness properties of steel, which are crucial factors in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of steel structures. It provides design rules that help engineers in assessing and specifying the toughness properties of steel in order to prevent brittle failure and achieve the desired level of safety.
The standard covers various aspects related to material toughness, including requirements for testing and assessment methods, acceptance criteria, and recommendations for the selection and use of steel materials with adequate toughness properties. It also addresses the through-thickness properties of steel, which refers to its uniformity and consistency in mechanical and microstructural properties throughout its thickness.
