Modern plastic design for steel structures

Objetivo

The overall objective of this project is to supply analytical methods, which will provide the quantification of an upper shelf toughness criterion to allow for safe plastic design of steel structures using modern construction steels.

Since this criterion is still missing, the plastic design of structural elements is only permitted when the steels used meet extremely severe test requirements, which penalise the use of steel by uneconomical design methods.

Therefore the application of this criterion will inevitably lead to increased exploitation and employment of steel in buildings, bridges, pressure vessels, offshore and pipeline structures and thus to the enhancement of the competitiveness of the European industry.
