BS EN 1993-1-10:2025 - TC

This standard BS EN 1993-1-10:2025 - TC Tracked Changes. Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.080.13 Steel structures
• 91.080.10 Metal structures
• 91.010.30 Technical aspects

1.1 Scope of EN 1993-1-10 (1) EN 1993-1-10 specifies rules for the selection of steel grades and qualities related to fracture toughness to avoid brittle fracture. NOTE Steel quality is also known as (Charpy) subgrade. (2) EN 1993-1-10 specifies rules to specify through thickness properties for welded elements to reduce the risk of lamellar tearing. (3) EN 1993-1-10 specifies additional toughness requirements for specific cases to ensure upper shelf toughness in relation to design ultimate resistance in tension and seismic design. (4) EN 1993-1-10 specifies rules for structural steels as listed in EN 1993-1-1. This document applies to steel grades S235 to S700. (5) EN 1993-1-10 specifies rules that apply to the selection of parent material only. (6) EN 1993-1-10 specifies rules that apply to steel materials covered by EN 1993-1-1:2022, 5.1(3), provided that each individual piece of steel is tested in accordance with the requirements of EN 1993 1 1:2022, 5.2.1 and EN 1090-2:2018+A1:2024, 5.1. (7) This document does not apply to material salvaged from existing steelwork subjected to fatigue or fire. 1.2 Assumptions (1) Unless specifically stated, EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts) and the other relevant parts of EN 1993-1 (all parts) apply. (2) The design methods given in EN 1993-1-10 are applicable if: - the execution quality is as specified in EN 1090-2 or EN 1090-4, 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.
