Eurocode 3 (EN1993-1-1:2005) Design Code Verification

Eurocode 3 Manual

Information presented on this page is intended to demonstrate the section design convergence that can be achived with SkyCiv. All examples are taken from the DESIGNERS' GUIDE TO EN 1993-1-1 EUROCODE 3: DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES (authors L.Gardner and D.A.Nethercot). Current manual consists description of algorithm of manual calculations.
