Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 1-7: Plate assemblies with elements under transverse loads; German version FprEN 1993-1-7:2024
Abstract
(1) EN 1993-1-7 provides rules for the structural design of assemblies of unstiffened and stiffened steel plates whose elements are under predominantly distributed transverse loads. (2) EN 1993-1-7 is applicable to containment structures such as silos, tanks, digesters and lock gates, where the external actions chiefly act transversely on their individual plates. Where a plate component under bending is additionally subject to membrane forces that have a significant effect on the resistance, this document covers assessment of the resistance through its computational analysis procedures. (3) EN 1993-1-7 is applicable to structures with rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular component plate segments, each with one axis of symmetry. (4) EN 1993-1-7 does not apply to plate components where the dominant structural resistance requirement relates to membrane forces in the plates (for these, see EN 1993-1-5).
