Design examples

Abstract

This chapter presents fifty-two representative numerical examples, based on the design rules for the verification of cross-sections and members, subjected to the usual types of loading, the verification of bolted and welded connections, as well as for specific items such as hollow section joints, uniform built-up compression members or column bases. The calculation steps are directly related in the text with the corresponding numbers of paragraphs, equations, tables or figures of the Eurocodes, which are highlighted in grey. If only numbers appear, it is understood that reference is made to the part of Eurocode 3 mentioned in the beginning of each example. Otherwise, the specific Eurocode is additionally mentioned.
