Section properties and member resistances to Eurocode 3 (UB, UC and hollow sections)

This design guide presents tables for column and beam design to DD ENV 1993-1-1: Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures: Part 1.1 General rules and rules for buildings, together with the United Kingdom National Application Document (UK NAD). Design tables are presented for universal beams and universal columns to BS 4, and for structural hollow sections to BS 4848. Eurocode 3 (EC3) section classification is given for each section, and design resistances are calculated in accordance with EC3 and the UK NAD. Explanatory notes are presented, giving the background to the classification and the properties and resistances in the design tables. Worked examples for a beam and a column are included, illustrating the design of typical steel sections using the design tables including the modification of values to suit NADs of other countries.
