EUROCODES

LEARNING OUTCOME
CLO 1: Design single storey building for steel structure correctly according to
Eurocode 3
PLO 3: Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with
the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with
appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations (DK5)
What is Eurocode ?
For 15 years, the Commission, with the help of a Steering Committee with
Representatives of Member States, conducted the development of the
Eurocode program, which led to the first generation of European codes in
the 1980s.
When ..
In 1989, the Commission and the Member States of the EU and EFTA
decided to transfer the preparation and the publication of the
Eurocodes to CEN (European Committee for Standard), in order to
provide them with a future status of European Standard (EN).
For steel first drafted in 1984 pre-std in 1992 –ENV 1993 Design of
Steel Structure.
• Shifting to Eurocodes is
mandatory
• After publication of final
version (EN version), 2
years is allocated for
calibration – development
In Europe: of annex and NDP.
• Followed by 3 years
coexistent before total
withdraw of ‘conflicting
standards’
• EC 3 to be fully enforced
in 2010.

The Benefits ?
The new Eurocodes are claimed to be the most technically advanced codes in the
world.
Use of the Eurocodes will provide more opportunity for designers to work
throughout Europe.
Europe all public works must allow the Eurocodes to be used for structural design
National Annex – opportunity to use local values in design known as NDP (Nationally Determined
Parameters) Values determined based on local level of safety requirement.
The basic requirements of a structure are to sustain all likely actions and
influences, to remain fit for purpose, and to have adequate structural
resistance, durability, and serviceability. These requirements must be
met for the structure’s entire design working life, including
construction. The structure must not suffer disproportionate damage
owing to adverse events, such as explosions, impact, or human error.
The events to be taken into account are those agreed with client and
relevant authorities.

• Strength : including local and
conditions should

Cross-section classification of EC3
Class 2 cross-sections are those which can develop their plastic moment
resistance, but have limited rotation capacity because of local buckling.
Class 4 cross-sections are those in which local buckling will occur before the
attainment of yield stress in one or more parts of the cross-section.
