Design Handbook for Braced Composite Steel-Concrete Buildings According to Eurocode 4

The publication n° 96 is intended to be a design aid in supplement to the European Pre-standard ENV 1994-1-1:1992 (always with references to the latter). It provides simplified guidance and facilitates the use of Eurocode 4 for the design of composite structures in common practice: braced composite steel-concrete structures. This handbook, less formal and more user-friendly than Eurocode 4, contains additional explanations on design principles, application rules and, about usual design results. The main design formulas and rules, extracted from Eurocode 4 - Part 1.1, are dealing with elastic global analysis of buildings or similar structures and with checks of structural members at ultimate and serviceability limit states.
