General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 1993-1-1:2022 (Eurocode 3, Part 1-1) - Design of steel structures: General rules and rules for buildings - is the principal European standard for the structural design of steelwork. It provides the basic design rules for steel structures and includes supplementary provisions for steel buildings (paragraphs marked with “B”). EN 1993-1-1:2022 supersedes earlier editions and is intended to be used together with EN 1990 (Basis of structural design), EN 1991 (Actions on structures), relevant parts of EN 1992–1999, EN 1090 and product-related ENs, EADs and ETAs.
Key topics
The standard covers the full design process for steel structures, including:
- Basis of design: basic requirements, structural reliability, robustness, design service life and durability.
- Limit state design: principles, verification by the partial factor method and design-assisted testing.
- Materials: structural steel properties, ductility, fracture toughness and connecting devices.
- Structural analysis and modelling: global analysis, second-order effects, imperfection modeling and methods considering material non-linearities (elastic and plastic analysis).
- Cross-section classification and requirements for plastic global analysis.
- Ultimate limit states: resistance of cross-sections (tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion), combined actions, buckling and lateral‑torsional buckling.
- Serviceability limit states: deformations, deflections, and dynamic effects for buildings.
- Fatigue design and detailing for durable performance.
- Normative annexes: execution class selection, semi‑compact sections, mono‑symmetric sections, continuous beam restraints and guidance on partial factor calibration.
Practical applications
EN 1993-1-1 is used by:
- Structural engineers and designers for designing steel frames, beams, columns, bracing and built-up members in buildings and other steel structures.
- Fabricators and detailers to ensure compliance with section classification, welding/execution classes and connection design.
- Contractors and certifiers to verify compliance with Eurocode-based national standards and CE/EN product requirements.
- Regulatory authorities and clients for assessing structural reliability, serviceability, durability and fatigue life.
Typical applications include building frames, industrial structures, long-span steel elements, composite steel-concrete members (in combination with other Eurocodes) and assessment of buckling, lateral torsional stability and fatigue-sensitive details.

La norme kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1:2022 est un document fondamental pour la conception des structures en acier, fournissant des règles de conception de base qui s'appliquent à une variété de contextes de construction. Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'Eurocode 3, qui est essentiel pour garantir la sécurité et la performance des bâtiments en acier. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans ses dispositions supplémentaires pour la conception structurelle des bâtiments en acier, signalées par la lettre "B" après le numéro de paragraphe. Cela permet une meilleure compréhension et une application appropriée des règles en fonction des besoins spécifiques de chaque projet. En outre, la norme affirme clairement que les hypothèses de la norme EN 1990 sont applicables au FprEN 1993-1-1, ce qui assure une cohésion avec les autres normes connues sous le nom d'Eurocodes. Cette interconnexion avec d'autres documents, tels que les EN 1991 et EN 1992 à EN 1999, ainsi que d'autres normes pertinentes, renforce la pertinence et l'application de la kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1 dans la pratique de l'ingénierie. La kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1:2022 est donc une ressource essentielle pour les ingénieurs et les professionnels de la construction, garantissant des conceptions qui respectent les exigences de sécurité et de durabilité tout en intégrant des spécifications précises pour les éléments en acier. Sa portée et ses forces en font un outil indispensable pour toute conception impliquant des structures en acier.
The standard kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1:2022 serves as a comprehensive guideline for the design of steel structures, encompassing both general rules and specific provisions for buildings. Its scope is defined clearly in section 1.1, outlining the essential design rules for steel structures and introducing supplementary provisions that facilitate the structural design of steel buildings. The designation of these supplementary provisions by appending a "B" after the paragraph number enhances clarity and usability, allowing designers to easily identify additional requirements relevant to their work. One of the significant strengths of FprEN 1993-1-1 is its integration with other established standards, particularly EN 1990 and EN 1991, which ensures its consistent application in the broader context of structural design. The standard underscores the importance of applying various parts of EN 1992 to EN 1999 whenever steel components are involved, promoting coherence across multiple standards. Furthermore, the incorporation of directives from EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-4 highlights its application within the construction of steel structures, ensuring compliance with quality and safety measures. The relevance of this standard cannot be overstated, as it not only reinforces safety and sustainability in structural engineering but also reflects the ongoing evolution of design practices in the construction industry. By prioritizing up-to-date methodologies and harmonizing them with necessary assumptions, as indicated in section 1.2, FprEN 1993-1-1 effectively accommodates advancements in material science and engineering techniques. This adaptability solidifies its position as a crucial component in the arsenal of standards driving the future of steel structure design.
Die Norm kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1:2022 bietet einen umfassenden Rahmen für die Planung und den Bau von Stahlkonstruktionen, indem sie grundlegende Designregeln für Stahlstrukturen definiert. Insbesondere legt die Norm die allgemeinen Regeln und spezifische Regelungen für Stahlgebäude fest. Diese zusätzliche Regelung, die durch das Kürzel „B“ neben der Paragrafennummer kenntlich gemacht wird, ermöglicht es den Planern, bestimmte Aspekte bei der Ausführung von Stahlbauten detaillierter zu berücksichtigen. Eine der Stärken dieser Norm ist ihre enge Verknüpfung mit anderen relevanten Normen, wie EN 1990 und EN 1991. Diese synergetische Beziehung gewährleistet eine konsistente Anwendung von Grundlagen und Regeln für die Traggestaltung von Stahlkonstruktionen. Darüber hinaus wird durch die Bezugnahme auf EN 1992 bis EN 1999 sowie auf EN 1090-2 und EN 1090-4 sichergestellt, dass die Norm in einem breiten Kontext für die Planung von Bauwerken einsetzbar ist, was ihre Relevanz im Bauwesen erheblich erhöht. Die Annahmen der EN 1990, die auf die FprEN 1993-1-1 anwendbar sind, bieten ein solides Fundament für die umfassende Anwendung der Norm. Die Integration von zusätzlichen Bestimmungen für verschiedene Stahlkomponenten erhöht die Flexibilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit der Norm an spezifische Bauanforderungen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Norm kSIST FprEN 1993-1-1:2022 nicht nur die grundlegenden Regeln für die Planung von Stahlstrukturen bereitstellt, sondern auch als eine bedeutende Grundlage für die Berechnung und Umsetzung von Stahlbauten dient. Die umfassende und strukturierte Herangehensweise an das Design und die zuverlässigen Schnittstellen zu anderen Normen unterstreichen ihre Wichtigkeit und Anwendbarkeit im modernen Bauwesen.
