Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-3: General rules - Supplementary rules for cold-formed members and sheeting
Also Known As:
EN 1993-1-3, also known as Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-3, provides general rules and supplementary requirements for the design of cold-formed members and sheeting. This standard specifically focuses on steel products that have been cold-formed through processes like cold-rolled forming or press-braking, and can be made from coated or uncoated hot or cold rolled sheet or strip.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure the structural integrity and safety of buildings and other structures that incorporate cold-formed steel elements. It establishes design principles, rules, and guidance for the structural analysis, design, and construction of cold-formed members and sheeting.
The standard covers various aspects of design, such as member stability, resistance to axial and flexural loads, and connections. It addresses important considerations like material properties, cross-section classification, design values, and limitations. The design requirements are based on established principles of structural mechanics, in line with current industry practices and advancements.
EN 1993-1-3 aims to facilitate the safe and efficient design and construction of cold-formed steel structures, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. It provides engineers, architects, and designers with a comprehensive guide to the design considerations and procedures for cold-formed steel members and sheeting.
