    Update on the revision of Eurocode 3 : evolution by improvement and harmonization
    (2021) Kuhlmann, Ulrike; Schmidt‐Rasche, Christina; Jörg, Fabian; Pourostad, Vahid; Spiegler, Jennifer; Euler, Mathias
    This paper provides an overview of recent work regarding the revision of Eurocode 3 on the European level. Selected scientific and technical issues are described and there is a summary of the activities executed within European Standardization Committee CEN/TC250/SC3 ”Design of Steel Structures“ chaired by Prof. Dr.‐Ing. Ulrike Kuhlmann. This includes the description of current normative developments for the 2nd Generation of Eurocodes, which aim at evolution through improvements and harmonization of the existing codes. In addition, a technical review of selected rules is given for several issues, which support the code revision and reflect well the recent tendencies in steel structures.

    Structural member stability verification in the new part 1‐1 of the second generation of Eurocode 3 : part 1: evolution of Eurocodes, background to partial factors, cross‐section classification and structural analysis
    (2020) Knobloch, Markus; Bureau, Alain; Kuhlmann, Ulrike; da Silva, Luís Simões; Snijder, Hubertus. H.; Taras, Andreas; Bours, Anna‐Lena; Jörg, Fabian
    This two‐part article gives an overview of the developments of the structural member verification in prEN 1993‐1‐1:2020 “Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - part 1‐1: General rules and rules for buildings”, one of the second generation of Eurocodes. These developments were undertaken by Working Group 1 (WG1) of Subcommittee CEN/TC250/SC3 and by Project Team 1 (SC3.PT1) responsible for drafting the new version of EN 1993‐1‐1. In the past, WG1 collected many topics needing improvement, and the systematic review conducted every five years also yielded topics needing further development. Based on this, the current version of EN 1993‐1‐1 has been developed into a new draft version prEN 1993‐1‐1:2020 enhancing “ease of use”. The technical content of this new draft was laid down at the end of 2019. Many improvements to design rules have been established with respect to structural analysis, resistance of cross‐sections and stability of members. This two‐part article focuses on member stability design rules and deals with the basis for the calibration of partial factors, the introduction of more economic design rules for semi‐compact sections, methods for structural analysis in relation to the appropriate member stability design rules, new design rules for lateral torsional buckling plus other developments and innovations. This first part of the article primarily serves to explain the general background to the European Commission Mandate M/515 that led to the further evolution of the Eurocodes and to illustrate the developments in prEN1993‐1‐1:2020 that pertain to new material grades, partial factors, cross‐sectional classification and structural analysis. These form the necessary background to the changes to member buckling design rules, which are treated more specifically in the second part.

    The simplified method of the equivalent compression flange : development based on LTB tests and residual stress measurements
    (2019) Schaper, Lukas; Jörg, Fabian; Winkler, Rebekka; Kuhlmann, Ulrike; Knobloch, Markus
    The method of the equivalent compression flange simplifies the verification of lateral torsional buckling of steel beams to flexural buckling of an equivalent part of the cross‐section that is in compression. The current simplified method is based on outdated normative rules and the design results may be both, uneconomic and non‐conservative. To remedy these shortcomings, the simplified method is modified based on the basic structural behaviour of steel beams taking into account the effects of material, cross‐sectional geometry and residual stresses. This paper presents a comprehensive experimental study on the lateral torsional buckling behaviour and residual stresses of welded doubly‐ and mono‐symmetric I‐shaped steel beams. Moreover, an improved simplified method of the equivalent compression flange is proposed for design purposes.
