Course Content
Eurocode 3 steel design trainingis essential for engineers needing to transition from BS 5950 to the current European standard for steel structures. Covering EN 1993-1-1 (General rules and rules for buildings), this one-day course provides practical insight into key changes, design challenges, and application of the code in real-world building projects.
Eurocode 3 offers a more rigorous yet flexible approach than previous British Standards. While it requires careful interpretation, it enables greater innovation in structural steel design.
This course uses presentation, discussion and tutorials to explore the practical impact of these changes, providing engineers with expert guidance and worked examples to support compliance and effective design using the new code.
