Provides detailed information for civil and structural engineers who want to use Eurocode 4; Part 1-1: Design of Composite and Steel Structures. This handbook provides technical information on the background to the Eurocode and explains the relationships with other Eurocodes, particularly the close interactions with Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3.

EN 1994-1-1, also known as Eurocode 4, is a standard of the Eurocode suite. This guide provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of EN 1994-1-1 through worked examples in relation to rules for buildings, structural fire design and for bridges. It is useful for civil and structural engineers, code-drafting committees, and more.

A guide to 4 documents, EN1991 Part 1.2, EN1992 Part 1.2, EN1993 Part 1.2 and EN1994 Part 1.2. It provides an introduction to the procedures required to achieve design solutions for a typical range of structural elements and assemblies. Worked examples are included to illustrate the use of the Eurocodes for specific design scenarios.

Applies to the design of building and civil engineering structures in plain, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete. The code (for convenience referred to as EC2) is written in several parts: EN 1992 - 1 - 1; EN 1992 - 1 - 2; EN 1992 - 2; and EN 1992 - 3.

This book details the basic concepts and the design rules included in Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures: Part 1-8 Design of joints Joints in composite construction are also addressed through references to Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings. Attention has to be duly paid to the joints when designing a steel or composite structure, in terms of the global safety of the construction, and also in terms of the overall cost, including fabrication, transportation and erection. Therefore, in this book, the design of the joints themselves is widely detailed, and aspects of selection of joint configuration and integration of the joints into the analysis and the design process of the whole construction are also fully covered. Connections using mechanical fasteners, welded connections, simple joints, moment-resisting joints and lattice girder joints are considered. Various joint configurations are treated, including beam-to-column, beam-to-beam, column bases, and beam and column splice configurations, under different loading situations (axial forces, shear forces, bending moments and their combinations). The book also briefly summarises the available knowledge relating to the application of the Eurocode rules to joints under fire, fatigue, earthquake, etc., and also to joints in a structure subjected to exceptional loadings, where the risk of progressive collapse has to be mitigated. Finally, there are some worked examples, plus references to already published examples and to design tools, which will provide practical help to practitioners.

Providing detailed information for civil and structural engineers on the use of Eurocode, this handbook covers the basis of design, its background and relationship to the other Eurocodes. This Eurocode provides general principles for the structural design
