Modelling and predesign of steel and composite structures

Project ID: 7210-SA/525

Funded under: ECSC-STEEL C

Modelling and predesign of steel and composite structures

From 1996-07-01 to 1999-06-30

Project details
Total cost: Topic(s):

EUR 901 500 F6 - Steel structures

EU contribution: Funding scheme:

EUR 540 900 CSC - Cost-sharing contracts

Coordinated in:
Luxembourg

Objective

Predesign of structures is often based on the old allowable stress methods rather than the more efficient limit states laid down
in Eurocodes 3 and 4 which will soon become obligatory in Europe. This research project intends to develop guidance on the
use of Eurocodes: guidelines for the selection of the most appropriate solution, recommendations for structural modelling, for
global analysis, checking of members and also to prepare practical tools (handbooks, design aids, tables, charts, software,
etc.) for predesign of steel and composite structures.
