Comprehensive section property data is provided in this ‘blue book’ as well as tables of member resistances, which are given for Celsius® structural tubes. This enables rapid selection of steel members in compression and bending. Tables are also provided for combined bending and compression, web resistance and shear resistance. This edition provides resistances in accordance with Eurocode 3 together with the relevant UK National Annexes.
This website presents design data derived in accordance with the following Parts of Eurocode 3 and their UK National Annexes:
- EN1993-1-1:2005: Design of steel structures. Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings
- EN1993-1-5:2006: Design of steel structures. Part 1-5: Plated structural elements
Where these Parts do not give all the necessary expressions for the evaluation of data, reference is made to other published sources in the General Notes.
The resistances in this website have been calculated using the partial factors for resistance given in the UK National Annexes for the Eurocodes. The partial factors are listed in Section 5.1 of the General Notes. The other parameters given in the UK National Annex that have been used when calculating member resistances are given in the relevant section of this website.
The following structural sections are covered in this website:
- Hot-finished structural hollow sections to EN10210-2
For general design notes and tolerances please visit the Appendix page.
