Foreword
This document (EN 1993-1-6:2007/FprA1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250
“Structural Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.

1 Modifications to the Foreword
In the Foreword, in the section "National Annex for EN 1993-1-6", add the following entries into the list at the
appropriate places:
"
– 6.2.1(6);"
and
"
– 8.6.3(5);".
In the Foreword, in the section "National Annex for EN 1993-1-6", replace:
"
– 8.7.2 (7)
– 8.7.2 (16)
– 8.7.2 (18) (2 times)"
with:
"
– 8.8.2 (9)
– 8.8.2 (18)
– 8.8.2 (20) (2 times)".
2 Modification throughout the whole standard
Replace "r " with "R".
R
3 Modification to 1.2, Normative references
In the list of the parts of EN 1993, replace "Part 1.1:" with "Part 1.1:2005:".
4 Modifications to 1.3, Terms and definitions
Replace the whole Entry 1.3.2.1 with:
"1.3.2.1 plastic failure limit state
ultimate limit state where the structure develops zones of yielding in a pattern such that its ability to resist
increased loading is deemed to be exhausted".
Add a new Entry 1.3.5.3:
"1.3.5.3 semi-membrane theory analysis
analysis that predicts the behaviour of an unsymmetrically loaded or supported thin-walled cylindrical shell
structure by assuming that only membrane forces and circumferential bending moments satisfy equilibrium
with the external loads"
and renumber accordingly the former Entry 1.3.5.3 (as 1.3.5.4) and the following subclauses in 1.3.5.
Replace the former Subclause 1.3.5.6 (newly renumbered as 1.3.5.7) with:
EN 1993-1-6:2007/FprA1:2014 (E)
"1.3.5.7 materially nonlinear analysis (MNA)
analysis based on shell bending theory applied to the perfect structure, using the assumption of small
deflections, as in 1.3.5.3, but adopting an ideal elastic plastic material law (idealised perfectly plastic response
after yield)".
Replace the former Subclause 1.3.5.7 (newly renumbered as 1.3.5.8) with:
"1.3.5.8 geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis (GMNA)
analysis based on shell bending theory applied to the perfect structure, using the assumptions of nonlinear
large deflection theory for the displacements and a fully nonlinear elastic-plastic-hardening material law,
where appropriate, and in which a bifurcation eigenvalue check is included at each load level".
Replace the former Subclause 1.3.5.9 (newly renumbered as 1.3.5.10) with:
"1.3.5.10 geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with imperfections included
(GMNIA)
analysis with imperfections explicitly included, based on the principles of shell bending theory applied to the
imperfect structure (i.e. the geometry of the middle surface includes unintended deviations from the ideal
shape), including nonlinear large deflection theory for the displacements that accounts fully for any change in
geometry due to the actions on the shell and a fully nonlinear elastic-plastic-hardening material law, where
appropriate
Note 1 to entry: The imperfections may also include imperfections in boundary conditions and residual stresses. A
bifurcation eigenvalue check is included at each load level.".
5 Modifications to 1.4,Symbols

α
" elastic imperfection reduction factor in buckling strength assessment;"
with:
elastic buckling reduction factor in buckling strength assessment;

I

In Paragraph (12), replace the following line:

" elastic-plastic buckling reduction factor for elastic-plastic effects in buckling strength

assessment;".
In Paragraph (12) , replace:
χ
ov
" overall buckling resistance reduction factor for complete shell;"

6 Modification to 2.2.5, Linear elastic bifurcation analysis (LBA)
In Paragraph (1), replace "8.6 and 8.7" with "8.7 and 8.8".
7 Modification to 2.2.6,
In Paragraph (2), replace "8.6 and 8.7" with "8.7 and 8.8".
8 Modification to 2.2.7, Materially nonlinear analysis (MNA)
In Paragraph (1), replace "8.7" with "8.8".
9 Modification to 2.2.8, Geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis (GMNA)
Replace Paragraphs (1) and (2) with the following ones:
"(1) The result of a GMNA analysis, analogously to 2.2.7, gives the geometrically nonlinear plastic failure
load of the perfect structure and the plastic strain increment, that may be used for checking the limit states LS1
and LS2.
(2) Where compression or shear stresses are predominant in some part of the shell, a GMNA analysis gives
the elasto-plastic buckling load of the perfect structure. This perfect shell buckling load should always be
determined when the limit state LS3 is verified using GMNIA analysis, see 8.8.".
10 Modification to 2.2.9, Geometrically nonlinear elastic analysis with imperfections
included (GNIA)
In Paragraph (1), replace "8.7" with "8.8".
11 Modification to 2.2.10, Geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with

13 Modifications to 4.1.1, LS1: Plastic limit
Replace the title itself of Subclause 4.1.1 with "LS1: Plastic failure limit state".
Replace Paragraph (1) with:
"(1) The limit state of the plastic failure should be taken as the condition in which the capacity of the structure
to resist the actions on it is exhausted by plasticity in the material.
The plastic failure resistance should be distinguished from the plastic reference resistance which is derived as
the plastic collapse load obtained from a mec
