Simplified version of Eurocode 3 for usual buildings
The aim of the following ECSC research (European Community Steel and Coal) is to elaborate a simple but complete document A design commonly used buildings in steel construction. This document is completely based on Eurocode 3 and each paragraph is totally conform to Eurocode 3. Only the design formula necessary to design braced or non-sway buildings are taken into account in this document Tall buildings (skyscrapers) and halls are not treated. The designers and steel constructor, are able to calculate and erect a commonly used steel building with this design handbook Therefore also the important load cases from Eurocode 1 will be included in this document. The working group of the research project was constituted of 10 European engineering offices. Firstly that working group has carried out different examples of calculation of brace or non-sway buildings according to Eurocode 3 Part 1.1: check of existing steel structures an design of new steel buildings. Afterwards thanks to those examples of calculation the needed design formulas of Eurocode 3 was highlighted and general procedure of design was determined. The design handbook 'Simplified version of Eurocode 3' is based on that experience. Liaison has been ensured with both other ECSC research projects No SA/312 and SA/419 also dealing with Eurocode 3: respectively, 'Application software of Eurocode 3: EC3-tools' (CTICM, France) and 'Design handbook for sway buildings' (CSM-Italy).
