ECCS has published document No. 114 Preliminary worked examples according to Eurocode 3 Part 1.3 (2000) prepared by ECCS TC 7 using the pre-standard ENV 1993-1-3. This new publication replaces ECCS document No. 114. The examples have been updated following the provisions given in EN 1993-1-3. Some new examples have been also included. These examples show applicability of design provisions in EN 1993-1-3 in practice. They also help in the interpretation of the guidance given in the code.
Chapter 2 contains examples related to one industrial building. Different aspects related to the design of structural components have been included. -Example A: Roof sheeting -Example B: Liner trays -Example C: Purlins -Example D: Portal frames -Example E: End wall and wind bracing
Chapter 3 contains additional examples for specific structural elements or features of EN 1993-1-3, which are included to assist in practical use of the provision. -Example F: C-section in compression and bending about axis of symmetry -Example G. U-section in bending and compression -Example H: C-section in compression -Example I: Hat section upper chord of lattice girder -Example J: Sheeting with stiffeners in flange and web -Example K: Inelastic reserve of sheeting -Example L: Double C-section as end column
The calculations are based on the provisions of EN 1993-1-3. Also parts EN 1993-1-5 and EN 1993-1-1 are required in the calculations. In some cases engineering judgement has been followed. If other methods in addition to Eurocode 3 have been used it has been clearly noted in the examples.
