Objective

Predesign of structures is often based on the old allowable stress methods rather than the more efficient limit states laid down in Eurocodes 3 and 4 which will soon become obligatory in Europe. This research project intends to develop guidance on the use of Eurocodes: guidelines for the selection of the most appropriate solution, recommendations for structural modelling, for global analysis, checking of members and also to prepare practical tools (handbooks, design aids, tables, charts, software, etc.) for predesign of steel and composite structures.
