Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 1-7: Plate assemblies with elements under transverse loads

1.1   Scope of prEN 1993-1-7
(1) prEN 1993-1-7 provides rules for the structural design of assemblies of unstiffened and stiffened steel plates whose elements are under predominantly distributed transverse loads.
(2) prEN 1993-1-7 is applicable to containment structures such as silos, tanks, digesters and lock gates, where the external actions chiefly act transversely on their individual plates or panels. Where a plate or panel under bending is additionally subject to membrane forces that have a significant effect on the resistance, this document covers assessment of the resistance through its computational analysis procedures.
(3) prEN 1993-1-7 is applicable to structures with rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular component plate segments, each with one axis of symmetry.
(4) prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to plates or panels where the dominant structural resistance requirement relates to membrane forces in the plates (for these, see EN 1993-1-5).
(5) prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to plates or panels whose curvature (out of flatness) exceeds that defined in 1.1 (14). For such curved plates, see EN 1993-1-6.
(6) prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to circular or annular plates. For such plates, see EN 1993 1-6.
(7)    prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to cold-formed sheeting. For such plates, see EN 1993-1-3.
(8) This document is only concerned with the requirements for design of plates and plate assemblies against the ultimate limit states of:
-   plastic failure;
-   cyclic plasticity;
-   buckling;
-   fatigue.
(9) Overall equilibrium of the structure (sliding, uplifting, or overturning) is not included in this document. Special considerations for specific applications are available in the relevant applications parts of EN 1993.
(10) The rules in this document refer to plate assemblies that are fabricated using unstiffened or stiffened plates or panels. The document is also applicable to the design of individual plates or panels that are predominantly subject to actions transverse to the plane of each plate. Both frictional actions on the plate surface and forces imposed by adjacent components of the plate assembly also induce in-plane actions in each plate.
(11) This document gives algebraic rules and guidance to account for bending with small membrane forces in the individual plates or panels. Where an unstiffened or stiffened plates or panels is subject to significant magnitudes of both bending and in-plane forces, the computational analysis procedures of this document apply.
(12) Where no application part defines a different range, this document applies to structures within the following limits:
-   design metal temperatures within the range −50 °C to +100 °C;
-   the geometry of individual plate segments is limited to rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal shapes with b/t greater than 20, or b1/t greater than 20, as appropriate (see Figure 3.2);
-   Single plate elements are treated as flat where the deviation from flatness e0 meets the condition   (see Figure 9.1). Where this criterion is not met, it is appropriate to treat the plate as a shell panel (see EN 1993-1-6).
1.2   Assumptions
(1) Unless specifically stated, the provisions of EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts) and EN 1993 (all parts) apply.
(2) The design methods given in prEN 1993-1-7 are applicable if:
-   the execution quality is as specified in EN 1090 2, and
-   the construction materials and products used are as specified in the relevant parts of EN 1993 (all parts), or in the relevant material and product specifications.
(3) The provisions in this document apply to materials that satisfy the brittle fracture provisions given in EN 1993-1-4 and EN 1993-1-10.
(4) In this document, it is assumed that wind loading, seismic actions and bulk solids flow can, in general, be treated as quasi-static actions.

Eurocode 3 - Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbauten - Teil 1-7 : Aus Blechen zusammengesetzte Bauteile unter Querbelastung

Anwendungsbereich von prEN 1993-1-7
(1) prEN 1993-1-7 enthält Regeln für die Tragwerksplanung von Baugruppen aus unausgesteiften und ausgesteiften Stahlblechen, deren Bauelemente hauptsächlich durch verteilte Querlasten beansprucht werden.
(2) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt für Behälterbauwerke, wie Silos, Tanks, Biogasanlagen und Schleusentore, bei denen externe Lasten hauptsächlich quer auf die einzelnen Bleche oder Platten wirken. Dieses Dokument behandelt die Beurteilung der Tragfähigkeit durch rechnergestützte Berechnungsverfahren, für den Fall, dass ein Blech oder eine Platte unter Biegung zusätzlich durch Membrankräfte, die einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Tragfähigkeit haben, beansprucht wird.
(3) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt für Bauwerke mit rechteckigen, trapezförmigen oder dreieckigen Blechsegmenten, von denen jedes eine Symmetrieachse aufweist.
(4) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt nicht für Bleche oder Platten, bei denen sich die Hauptanforderung an die Tragfähigkeit auf Membrankräfte in den Blechen bezieht (für diese siehe EN 1993-1-5).
(5) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt nicht für Bleche oder Platten, deren Krümmung (Unebenheit) die nach 1.1 (14) festgelegte überschreitet. Für derartige gekrümmte Bleche siehe EN 1993-1-6.
(6) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt nicht für kreis- oder ringförmige Bleche. Für derartige Bleche siehe EN 1993-1-6.
(7) prEN 1993-1-7 gilt nicht für kaltgeformte Bleche. Für derartige Bleche siehe EN 1993-1-3.
(8) Dieses Dokument enthält ausschließlich Anforderungen an die Bemessung von Blechen und Blechbaugruppen gegen die Grenzzustände:
plastisches Versagen;
zyklisches Plastizieren;
Beulen;
Ermüdung.
(9) Die Grenzzustände des statischen Gleichgewichts (Gleiten, Abheben oder Kippen) werden in dieser Norm nicht behandelt. Besonderheiten, die für bestimmte Anwendungen gelten, können den einschlägigen Anwendungsnormen von EN 1993 entnommen werden.
(10) Die Regeln in dieser Norm beziehen sich auf Blechbaugruppen, die unter Verwendung von unausge-steiften oder ausgesteiften Blechen oder Platten gefertigt werden. Die Norm gilt auch für die Bemessung einzelner Bleche oder Platten, die vorwiegend durch Einwirkungen quer zur Blechebene beansprucht werden. Sowohl Reibeinwirkungen auf die Blechoberfläche als auch Kräfte, die durch angrenzende Komponenten der Blechbaugruppe erzeugt werden, rufen Einwirkungen in der Ebene jedes Blechs hervor.
(11) Dieses Dokument enthält algebraische Regeln und Hinweise zur Berücksichtigung der Biegung mit geringen Membrankräften in den einzelnen Blechen oder Platten. Wenn unausgesteifte oder ausgesteifte Bleche oder Platten sowohl durch Biegung als auch durch Kräfte in Plattenebene von erheblicher Größenordnung beansprucht werden, gelten die rechnergestützten Berechnungsverfahren nach diesem Dokument.
(12) Wenn kein Teil einer Anwendungsnorm einen anderen Bereich festlegt, gilt dieses Dokument für Tragwerke im Rahmen der folgenden Grenzen:
Auslegungswandtemperaturen im Bereich −50 °C bis +100 °C;
die Geometrie von einzelnen Plattenfeldern ist auf rechteckige, dreieckige und trapezförmige Formen begrenzt wobei b/t größer als 20 oder b1/t größer als 20 ist, sofern zutreffend (siehe Bild 3.2);
einzelne Blechelemente werden als Flachblech behandelt, wenn die Abweichung von der Ebenheit e0 die Bedingung e_0⁄t≤0,750 erfüllt (siehe Bild 9.1). Wird dieses Kriterium nicht erfüllt, ist es angebracht, das Blech als Schalenfeld zu behandeln (siehe EN 1993-1 6).

Eurocode 3 - Calcul des structures en acier - Partie 1-7 : Structures en plaques avec éléments sous charges transversales

1.1   Domaine d'application du prEN 1993-1-7
(1)                  Le prEN 1993-1-7 fournit des règles pour le calcul de structures en plaques en acier raidies et non raidies dont les éléments sont soumis à des charges transversales principalement distribuées.
(2)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 s'applique aux structures de rétention de fluides, telles que les silos, réservoirs, digesteurs et écluses, où les actions extérieures agissent principalement de façon transversale aux plaques ou panneaux individuels qui les composent. Lorsqu'une plaque ou un panneau sous flexion est, par ailleurs, soumis à des efforts de membrane qui ont un effet significatif sur la résistance, le présent document couvre l'évaluation de la résistance par le biais de ses procédures d'analyse informatique.
(3)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 s'applique aux structures présentant des segments de plaques de forme rectangulaire, trapézoïdale ou triangulaire, qui comportent chacun un axe de symétrie.
(4)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 ne s'applique pas aux plaques ou panneaux pour lesquels l'exigence de résistance structurale dominante se rapporte aux efforts de membrane agissant sur les plaques (dans ce cas, voir l'EN 1993-1-5).
(5)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 ne s'applique pas aux plaques ou panneaux dont la courbure (défaut de planéité) dépasse celle définie en 1.1 (14). Pour ces plaques cintrées, voir l'EN 1993-1-6.
(6)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 ne s'applique pas aux plaques circulaires ou annulaires. Pour ces types de plaques, voir l'EN 1993 1-6.
(7)   Le prEN 1993-1-7 ne s'applique pas aux plaques formées à froid. Pour ces types de plaques, voir l'EN 1993-1-3.
(8)   Le présent document énonce seulement les exigences pour le calcul des plaques et structures en plaques aux états-limites ultimes de :
-   rupture plastique ;
-   plasticité cyclique ;
-   instabilité ;
-   fatigue.
(9)   L'équilibre global de la structure (glissement, soulèvement ou renversement) ne figure pas dans le présent document. Des considérations particulières concernant des applications spécifiques figurent dans les parties applicatives appropriées de l'EN 1993.
(10)   Les règles du présent document se rapportent à des structures en plaques fabriquées à l'aide de plaques ou de panneaux raidis ou non raidis. Le présent document est également applicable pour le calcul de plaques ou panneaux individuels qui sont principalement soumis à des actions transversales au plan de chaque plaque. Les actions de frottement exercées sur la surface de la plaque et les efforts imposés par les composants adjacents de la structure en plaques induisent également des actions dans le plan sur chaque plaque.
(11)   Le présent document donne des règles algébriques et des recommandations pour tenir compte de la flexion avec des efforts de membrane mineurs exercés sur les plaques ou panneaux individuels. Lorsque des plaques ou panneaux raidis ou non raidis sont soumis à une combinaison de flexion et d'efforts dans le plan de fortes intensités, les procédures d'analyse informatique du présent document s'appliquent.
(12)   Lorsqu'aucune partie applicative ne définit de plage différente, le présent document s'applique aux structures dans les limites suivantes :
-   températures de calcul du métal se situant dans la plage de – 50 °C à + 100 °C ;
-   la géométrie des segments de plaque individuels est limitée à des formes rectangulaires, triangulaires et trapézoïdales avec un rapport b/t supérieur à 20, ou un rapport b1/t supérieur à 20, selon le cas (voir Figure 3.2) ;
-   les éléments de plaque simples sont traités comme des éléments plats lorsque l'écart de planéité e0 satisfait à la condition   (voir Figure 9.1). Lorsque ce critère n'est pas rempli, il est possible de traiter la plaque comme un panneau de coque (voir l'EN 1993-1-6).
