Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-8: Design of joints
Also Known As:
EN 1993-1-8, also known as Eurocode 3 Part 1-8, is a standard that focuses on the design of steel structures, specifically on the design of joints. This standard provides design methods for joints that are predominantly subjected to static loading conditions. It is applicable to steel grades S 235, S 275, S 355, S 420, and S 460.
The standard provides guidelines and procedures for designing joints in steel structures, ensuring their structural integrity and safety. It covers various types of joints, such as welded and bolted connections, and addresses the different forces and load combinations that act on these joints.
EN 1993-1-8 incorporates principles of structural mechanics, material properties, and loadings to establish design requirements for joints. It considers factors like material strength, joint configurations, loading conditions, and detailing requirements to ensure that the joints can withstand the anticipated loads and maintain overall stability of the steel structure.
