| Abstract: |
The application of design by finite element analysis (FEA) is becoming increasingly prevalent in applied engineering; however, codified provisions remain scarce. The vision of CEN/TC 250/SC 3 was to develop a new comprehensive document based on the existing provisions currently distributed throughout the different Eurocode 3 parts, and with extension where necessary to cover all fields of structural steel design. Within the development process, two documents are being prepared: (i) the code, prEN 1993‐1‐14 and (ii) a Technical Report. The new code aims to provide rules on the use of finite element analysis and other numerical methods for verifying ultimate limit states, serviceability limit states and fatigue. In parallel, the Technical Report will provide background information and explanations of all aspects of the code, as well as benchmark cases and design examples to support the correct application of the prEN1993‐1‐14 design rules and the necessary benchmarking required for model validation. The assumed stakeholders are mainly designers who can find direct guidance for design by finite element analysis in daily engineering practice. This current paper gives an overview of the new code and accompanying Technical Report, as well as the development process and harmonisation within the current Eurocode 3 framework. |
