In the eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures (abbreviated EN 1993 or, informally, EC 3) describes how to design of steel structures, using the limit state design philosophy.

It was approved by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) on 16 April 2004. Eurocode 3 comprises 20 documents dealing with the different aspects of steel structure design:

  • EN 1993-1-1: General rules and rules for buildings.
  • EN 1993-1-2: General rules - Structural fire design.
  • EN 1993-1-3: General rules - Supplementary rules for cold-formed members and sheeting.
  • EN 1993-1-4: General rules - Supplementary rules for stainless steels.
  • EN 1993-1-5: General rules - Plated structural elements.
  • EN 1993-1-6: General rules - Strength and stability of shell structures.
  • EN 1993-1-7: General rules - Strength and stability of planar plated structures subject to out of plane loading.
  • EN 1993-1-8: Design of joints.
  • EN 1993-1-9: Fatigue.
  • EN 1993-1-10: Material toughness and through-thickness properties.
  • EN 1993-1-11: Design of structures with tension components.
  • EN 1993-1-12: General - High strength steels.
  • EN 1993-2: Steel bridges.
  • EN 1993-3-1: Towers, masts and chimneys - Towers and masts.
  • EN 1993-3-2: Towers, masts and chimneys - Chimneys
  • EN 1993-4-1: Silos
  • EN 1993-4-2: Tanks
  • EN 1993-4-3: Pipelines
  • EN 1993-5: Piling
  • EN 1993-6: Crane supporting structures

Eurocode 3 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in steel. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990 - Basis of structural design. It is only concerned with requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance.

Eurocode 3 is intended to be used in conjunction with:

  • EN 1990: Eurocode - Basis of structural design;
  • EN 1991: Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures;
  • ENs, ETAGs and ETAs for construction products relevant for steel structures;
  • EN 1090 Execution of steel structures - Technical requirements;
  • EN 1992 to EN 1999 when steel structures or steel components are referred to.

Part 1-2: General rules - Structural fire design

EN 1993-1-2 deals with the design of steel structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and it has to be used in conjunction with EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1991-1-2. This part only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design. EN 1993-1-2 deals only with passive methods of fire protection.

Part 1-3: General rules - Supplementary rules for cold-formed members and sheeting

EN 1993-1-3 gives design requirements for cold-formed thin gauge members and sheeting. It applies to cold-formed steel products made from coated or uncoated thin gauge hot or cold rolled sheet or strip, that have been cold-formed by such processes as cold-rolled forming or press-braking. It may also be used for the design of profiled steel sheeting for composite steel and concrete slabs at the construction stage, see EN 1994. The execution of steel structures made of cold-formed thin gauge members and sheeting is covered in EN 1090.

Part 1-7: General Rules - Supplementary rules for planar plated structural elements with out of plane loading

EN 1993-1-7: provides principles and rules of application for the structural design of stiffened and unstiffened plates loaded with out of plane actions and it has to be used in conjunction with EN 1993-1-1.

Part 1-8: Design of joints

EN 1993-1-8 gives design methods for the design of joints subject to predominantly static loading using steel grades S235, S275, S355 and S460. More specifically, it gives detailed application rules to determine the static design resistances of uniplanar and multiplanar joints in lattice structures composed of circular, square or rectangular hollow sections, and of uniplanar joints in lattice structures composed of combinations of hollow sections with open sections (space frames and trusses).

Part 1-9: Fatigue

EN 1993-1-9 gives methods for the assessment of fatigue resistance of members, connections and joints subjected to fatigue loading. These methods are derived from fatigue tests with large scale specimens, that include effects of geometrical and structural imperfections from material production and execution (e.g. the effects of tolerances and residual stresses from welding).

Part 1-10: Material Toughness and through-thickness properties

EN 1993-1-10 provides the guidelines for the selection of steel for fracture toughness and through-thickness properties of welded elements where there is a significant risk of lamellar tearing during the fabrication process.

Part 1-11: Design of Structures with tension components

EN 1993-1-11 gives design rules for structures with tension components made of steel which due to their connections are adjustable and replaceable. These components due to their adjustability and replaceability properties are mostly pre-fabricated delivered on-site and installed into the structure as a whole. Non adjustable and replaceable components are out of the scope of EN 1993-1-11.

Part 1-12: High Strength steels

EN 1993-1-12 gives rules that can be used in conjunction with all the other part of EN 1993 to enable steel structures to be designed with steel of grades greater than S460 up to S700.
