Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-6: Strength and Stability of Shell Structures; German and English version prEN 1993-1-6:2023
Abstract
EN 1993-1-6 provides rules for the structural design of plated steel structures that have the form of a shell of revolution (axisymmetric shell). EN 1993-1-6 is applicable to unstiffened fabricated axisymmetric shells formed from isotropic rolled plates using both algebraic and computational procedures, and to stiffened axisymmetric shells with different wall constructions using computational procedures. It also applies to associated circular or annular plates and to beam section rings and stringer stiffeners where they form part of the complete shell structure. The general computational procedures are applicable to all shell forms. EN 1993-1-6 does not apply to structures under seismic or other dynamic loading. It does not cover the aspects of leakage of stored liquids or solids. This standard is concerned with the requirements for design against the ultimate limit states of: • plastic failure; • cyclic plasticity; • buckling; • fatigue.
