BiH standard BAS EN 1993-1-3: 2017, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-3: General rules – Supplementary rules for cold-formed members and sheeting (EN 1993-1-3: 2006, IDT; EN 1993- 1-3: 2006/AC: 2009, IDT), second edition, was adopted by translation method.

 

This standard gives design requirements for cold-formed members and sheeting. It applies to cold-formed steel products made from coated or uncoated hot or cold rolled sheet or strip, that have been cold-formed by such processes as cold rolled forming or press braking. It may also be used for the design of profiled steel sheeting for composite steel and concrete slabs at the construction stage Methods are also given for stressed-skin design using steel sheeting as a structural diaphragm as well as methods for design by calculation and for design assisted by testing. The methods for design by calculation apply only within stated ranges of material properties and geometrical proportions for which sufficient experience and test evidence is available. These limitations do not apply to design assisted by testing. 

 

This part of Eurocode 3 does not apply to cold-formed circular and rectangular structural hollow sections supplied to EN 10219, for which reference should be made to EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-8. It also does not cover load arrangement for testing for loads during execution and maintenance. The calculation rules given in this standard are only valid if the tolerances of the cold formed members comply with EN 1090-2.

 

This BiH standard was prepared by the Technical Committee BAS/TC 62, Eurocodes - Design of steel structures, composite structures of steel and concrete, timber structures and aluminum structures.
