EN 1990 (2002)
EN 1990 EN 1991
EN 1990 (2002): EN 1990 Basis of structural design UK National Annex published Should read at least once.
L. Gardner
Basic requirements
EN 1990 EN 1991
EN 1990 states that a structure shall have adequate: Structural resistance Serviceability Durability Fire resistance Robustness
L. Gardner
Design situations
EN 1990 EN 1991
All relevant design situations must be examined: Persistent design situations: normal use Transient design situations: temporary conditions, e.g. during construction or repair Accidental design situations: exceptional conditions such as fire, explosion or impact Seismic design situations: where the structure is subjected to seismic events.
L. Gardner
Actions and Effects
EN 1990 EN 1991
Action (F):
Direct actions applied loads
CAUSE
Indirect actions imposed deformations or accelerations e.g. by temperature changes, vibrations etc Both essentially produce same effect
Effect of action (E):
EFFECT
On structural members and whole structure For example internal forces and moments, deflections ..
L. Gardner
Types of actions
EN 1990 EN 1991
Types of actions: Permanent, G Variable, Q (leading and non-leading) Accidental, A
L. Gardner
Load combinations
EN 1990 EN 1991
Fundamental combinations of actions may be determined from EN 1990 using either of: Equation 6.10 Less favourable of Equation 6.10a and 6.10b
L. Gardner
Load combinations
EN 1990 EN 1991

L. Gardner
Load factors 1.35 and 1.5 are applied when actions are unfavourable.
Leading variable actions Qk,1
EN 1990 EN 1991
In Equation 6.10, the full value of the leading variable action is applied Q,1Qk,1 (i.e. 1.5 x characteristic imposed load) The leading variable action is the one that leads to the most unfavourable effect (i.e. the critical combination) To generate the various load combinations, each variable action should be considered in turn as the leading one, (and consideration should be given to whether loading is favourable or unfavourable.)
L. Gardner
10
Combination factor 0
EN 1990 EN 1991
The combination factor 0 is intended specifically to take account of the reduced probability of the simultaneous occurrence of two or more variable actions. Loading Imposed loading Wind loading Combination factor 0 0.7 0.5*
11
L. Gardner
* 0.5 is UK NA value, 0.6 is the unmodified EC value
Unfavourable and favourable loading
EN 1990 EN 1991
Loads may be considered as unfavourable or favourable in any given combination, depending on whether they increase or reduce the effects (bending moments, axial forces etc) in the structural members. For unfavourable dead loads: G = 1.35 For favourable dead loads: G = 1.00 For unfavourable variable loads: Q = 1.5 For favourable variable loads: Q = 0
L. Gardner
12
Equivalent horizontal forces
EN 1990 EN 1991
Equivalent horizontal forces: Equivalent horizontal forces (EHFs), previously known as notional horizontal loads (NHL), are required to account for imperfections that exist in all structural frames. EHFs should be included in all load combinations, and since their value is related to the level of vertical loading, they will generally be different for each load combination (and will already be factored).
L. Gardner
13
Exercise solution Equation 6.10
EN 1990 EN 1991
Load combinations for a typical structure from Equation 6.10:
Combination Dead + Imposed Dead + Wind (uplift) D+I+W (imposed leading) D+I+W (wind leading) Dead Imposed Wind EHF 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
L. Gardner
Note EHF are always present and already based on factored loads

L. Gardner
15
Exercise solution Eqs 6.10a and 6.10b
EN 1990 EN 1991
Load combinations from Eqs 6.10a and 6.10b All combinations except last one are from Eq. 6.10b.
Combination Dead + Imposed (6.10b) Dead + Wind (uplift) (6.10b) D + I + W (6.10b) (imposed leading) D + I + W (6.10b) (wind leading) D + I + W (6.10a)* Dead Imposed Wind EHF 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
L. Gardner
* Unlikely to govern unless Dead >> Imposed
16
Equilibrium check (EQU)
EN 1990 EN 1991
Equilibrium check (EQU): For checking sliding or overturning of the structure as a rigid body, only Eq. 6.10 may be used. Dead loads are factored by 0.9 when favourable and 1.1 when unfavourable. The critical case will generally arise when wind load is unfavourable and the leading variable action, and dead load is favourable, resulting in: 0.9Gk + 1.5Wk + EHF
L. Gardner
17
Equilibrium check (EQU)
EN 1990 EN 1991

EN 1990 EN 1991
The UK National Annex to EN 1993-1-1 states that deflections may be checked using the SLS characteristic combination, ignoring dead load and with some specified deflection limits. 1.0Qk + 0.5Wk + EHF 1.0Wk + 0.7Qk + EHF

Conclusions
EN 1990 EN 1991
Concluding comments: Presentation of load combinations unfamiliar Idea of leading variable actions and combination factors etc is new Other than format and notation, loading codes are similar to existing BS Using Eq. 6.10a and 6.10b (with 6.10 for EQU), four basic load combinations arise (ignoring those unlikely to govern).

Introduction
General approach:
Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Choose an appropriate analysis Make an appropriate model Apply all actions (loads) and combinations of actions Check cross-sections, members and joints
L. Gardner
Frame stability
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Frame Stability is assured by checking: Cross-sections Members Joints But will be unsafe unless: Frame model Loads on frame Analysis are appropriate.

L. Gardner
Effects of deformed geometry
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
EN 1993-1-1 Clause 5.2.1(2) states that deformed geometry (second order effects) shall be considered: if they increase the action effects significantly or modify significantly the structural behaviour
L. Gardner
Limits for ignoring deformed geometry
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
For elastic analysis: where
cr =
Fcr 10 FEd
cr is the factor by which the design loading would have to be increased to cause elastic instability in a global mode (cr in BS 5950-1) FEd is the design loading on the structure Fcr is the elastic critical buckling load for global instability based on initial elastic stiffness.
L. Gardner
Limits for ignoring deformed geometry
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
For plastic analysis:
cr =
Fcr 15 FEd
Stricter limit for plastic analysis due to loss of stiffness associated with material yielding. So, for cr 10 (or 15), the effects of deformed geometry may be ignored and a first order analysis will suffice
L. Gardner
Simple estimate for cr
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Simple estimate for cr may be applied to:
Portals with shallow roof slopes Beam and column frames (each storey)
where
H h cr = Ed V Ed H,Ed
HEd horizontal reaction at bottom of the storey VEd total vertical load at bottom of the storey H,Ed storey sway when loaded with horizontal loads (eg wind, equivalent horizontal forces)
L. Gardner
Limits on use of simple estimate
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Limit on portal rafter slope for (Clause 5.2) not steeper than 1:2 (26 degrees) Limit on axial compression in beams or rafters for (Clause 5.2):
NEd 0.09 Ncr
where NEd is the design value of compression in the beam or rafter and Ncr is its elastic buckling resistance.
L. Gardner
10
Analysis method and achievement
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Distinguish between: Analysis method (1st or 2nd order) Analysis achievement i.e. can achieve 2nd order by: 1) 2nd order analysis 2) 1st and amplified sway 3) 1st and increased effective length.
L. Gardner

Global imperfections for frames
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Global initial sway imperfections:
= 0 h m
where 0 is the basic value = 1/ 200 h and m are reduction factors
L. Gardner
13
Global imperfections for frames
Introduction Deformed geometry Imperfections Actions
Much easier to apply as equivalent horizontal forces NEd, where NEd is the design compressive force in the column Saves changing the model for opposite direction in asymmetric buildings Many buildings have such complicated arrangements that it will be best to ignore the h and m reductions and use 1/200 Dont forget them.

Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
Overview
Introduction Design Example Exercise
Outline: Introduction Tension member design Example
L. Gardner
Eurocode 3
Introduction Design Example Exercise
Eurocode 3 states that tensile resistance should be verified as follows:
Nt ,Ed Nt ,Rd
Tension check
Nt,Ed is the tensile design effect Nt,Rd is the design tensile resistance
L. Gardner
Design tensile resistance Nt,Rd
Introduction Design Example Exercise
Design tensile resistance Nt,Rd is limited either by: Yielding of the gross cross-section Npl,Rd or ultimate failure (fracture) of the net crosssection (at holes for fasteners) Nu,Rd whichever is the lesser.
L. Gardner
Yielding of gross cross-section
Introduction Design Example Exercise
The Eurocode 3 design expression for yielding of the gross cross-section (plastic resistance) given as:
Npl,Rd =
Afy M0
This criterion is applied to prevent excessive deformation of the member.
L. Gardner
Ultimate resistance of net section
Introduction Design Example Exercise
And for the ultimate resistance of the net cross-section (defined in clause 6.2.2.2), the Eurocode 3 design expression is:
Nu,Rd
0.9A net fu M2
Anet is the reduced cross-sectional area to account for bolt holes
L. Gardner
Partial factors M
Introduction Design Example Exercise
Plastic resistance of the gross cross-section Npl,Rd utliises M0, whilst ultimate fracture of the net cross-section Nu,Rd utilises M2.
M 0 = 1 .0
and
M2 = 1.25 (1.1 in UK NA)
The larger safety factor associated with fracture reflects the undesirable nature of the failure mode.
L. Gardner
Non-staggered fasteners
Introduction Design Example Exercise
For a non-staggered arrangement of fasteners, the total area to be deducted should be taken as the sum of the sectional areas of the holes on any line (A-A) perpendicular to the member axis that passes through the centreline of the holes.

Angles with welded end connections
Introduction Design Example Exercise
In the case of welded end connections: For an equal angle, or an unequal angle connected by its larger leg, the eccentricity may be neglected, and the effective area may be taken as equal to the gross area (clause 4.13(2) of EN 1993-1-8).

Introduction Design Example Exercise
Try a 1257510 unequal angle, welded by the longer leg. For an unequal angle connected (welded) by its larger leg, the effective area may be taken as equal to the gross area (clause 4.13(2) of EN 1993-1-8)

Example: Tension member design
Introduction Design Example Exercise
For a nominal material thickness t of 10 mm, yield strength fy = 355 N/mm2 and ultimate tensile strength fu = 470 N/mm2 (from EN 10025-2). Partial factors from UK National Annex are M0 = 1.00 and M2 = 1.10. Gross area of cross-section, A = 1920 mm2 (from Section Tables).
L. Gardner

Example: Tension member design
Introduction Design Example Exercise
For yielding of the gross cross-section, plastic resistance is given as: =
Npl,Rd = Afy M0 = 1920 355 = 682x103 N = 682 kN 1.0
And for the ultimate resistance of the net cross-section, concentrically loaded (defined in clause 6.2.2.2), the Eurocode 3 design expression is:

Background
Introduction Local buckling Classification Class 4 Exercise
Background: For efficiency, structural members are generally composed of relatively thin elements (i.e. thicknesses substantially less than other cross-sectional dimensions) Although favourable in terms of overall structural efficiency, the slender nature of these thin elements results in susceptibility to local instabilities (buckling) under compressive stress, which must be considered in design.

Cross-section classification
Introduction Local buckling Classification Class 4 Exercise
Whether in the elastic or inelastic material range, cross-sectional resistance and rotation capacity are limited by the effects of local buckling. Eurocode 3 (and BS 5950) account for the effects of local buckling through cross-section classification. The classifications from BS 5950 of plastic, compact, semi-compact and slender are replaced in Eurocode 3 with Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4, respectively.
L. Gardner
Factors affecting local buckling
Introduction Local buckling Classification Class 4 Exercise
The factors that affect local buckling (and therefore the cross-section classification) are: Width/thickness ratios of plate components Element support conditions Material strength, fy Fabrication process Applied stress system
L. Gardner
Cross-section classification
Introduction Local buckling Classification Class 4 Exercise
Classification is made by comparing actual width-to-thickness ratios of the plate elements with a set of limiting values, given in Table 5.2 of EN 1993-1-1). A plate element is Class 4 (slender) if it fails to meet the limiting values for a class 3 element. The classification of the overall cross-section is taken as the least favourable of the constituent elements (for example, a crosssection with a class 3 flange and class 1 web has an overall classification of Class 3).

The shear area Av is in effect the area of the cross-section that can be mobilised to resist the applied shear force with a moderate allowance for plastic redistribution For sections where the load is applied parallel to the web, this is essentially the area of the web (with some allowance for the root radii in rolled sections).

Serviceability
Background In-plane bending Shear Serviceability LTB Exercises
Excessive serviceability deflections may impair the function of a structure, for example, leading to cracking of plaster, misalignments of crane rails, causing difficulty in opening doors, etc. Deflection checks should therefore be performed against suitable limiting values. From the UK National Annex, deflection checks should be made under unfactored variable actions Qk.

Lateral torsional buckling
Background In-plane bending Shear Serviceability LTB Exercises
Lateral torsional buckling
Lateral torsional buckling is the member buckling mode associated with slender beams loaded about their major axis, without continuous lateral restraint. If continuous lateral restraint is provided to the beam, then lateral torsional buckling will be prevented and failure will occur in another mode, generally in-plane bending (and/or shear).

Three methods to check LTB in EC3: The primary method adopts the lateral torsional buckling curves given by equations 6.56 and 6.57, and is set out in clause 6.3.2.2 (general case) and clause 6.3.2.3 (for rolled sections and equivalent welded sections). The second is a simplified assessment method for beams with restraints in buildings, and is set out in clause 6.3.2.4. The third is a general method for lateral and lateral torsional buckling of structural components, given in clause 6.3.4.

Clearly the resistance of the joint is controlled by the strength in shear. Therefore, the resistance of the tension splice as governed by the shear resistance of the bolts = 3 47.0 = 141 kN.

Welded joints
Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints
Two methods are permitted for the design of fillet welds:
the directional method, in which the forces transmitted by a unit length of weld are resolved into parallel and perpendicular components. the simplified method, in which only longitudinal shear is considered.
These approaches broadly mirror those used in BS5950: Part 1.

Conclusions
Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints
The construction industry has not previously faced the challenge of implementing a complete suite of new codes encompassing all the major materials and loading requirements This burden will not be eased by the format and terminology of the Eurocodes both of which are different from British Standards.
National Strategy for Implementation of the Structural Eurocodes (IStructE, 2004)
L. Gardner
29
Conclusions
Introduction Bolted joints Welded joints
The Eurocodes will become the Europe wide means of designing Civil and Structural engineering works and so, they are of vital importance to both the design and construction sectors of the Civil and Building Industries.
