European foreword
This document (prEN 1993-1-3:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250
“Structural Codes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all Structural
Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1993-1-3:2006 and its corrigenda.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National
Annexes.

authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),
educators, soft-ware developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and
execution standards.
NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,
can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes
identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.
0.2 Introduction to EN 1993 (all parts)
(1) EN 1993 (all parts) applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in steel. It complies
with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their
design and verification that are given in EN 1990 — Basis of structural and geotechnical design.
(2) EN 1993 (all parts) is concerned only with requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and
fire resistance of steel structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are
not covered.
(3) EN 1993 is subdivided in various parts:
EN 1993-1, Design of Steel Structures — Part 1: General rules and rules for buildings;
EN 1993-2, Design of Steel Structures — Part 2: Steel bridges;
EN 1993-3, Design of Steel Structures — Part 3: Towers, masts and chimneys;
EN 1993-4, Design of Steel Structures — Part 4: Silos and tanks;
EN 1993-5, Design of Steel Structures — Part 5: Piling;

(5) All subsequent parts EN 1993-1-2 to EN 1993-1-14 treat general topics that are independent from
the structural type like structural fire design, cold-formed members and sheeting, stainless steels, plated
structural elements, etc.
(6) All subsequent parts numbered EN 1993-2 to EN 1993-7 treat topics relevant for a specific structural
type like steel bridges, towers, masts and chimneys, silos and tanks, piling, crane supporting structures,
etc. EN 1993-2 to EN 1993-7 refer to the generic rules in EN 1993-1 and supplement, modify or supersede
them.
0.3 Introduction to prEN 1993-1-3
prEN 1993-1-3 gives supplementary design rules for cold-formed steel members and sheeting. The focus
in prEN 1993-1-3 is on design methods and design rules for individual cold-formed members (beams,

0.4 Verbal forms used in the Eurocodes
The verb “shall” expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted
in order to comply with the Eurocodes.
The verb “should” expresses a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national
regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches could be used/adopted
where technically justified.
The verb “may” expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.
The verb “can” expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of
concepts.
0.5 National Annex for prEN 1993-1-3
National choice is allowed in this standard where explicitly stated within notes. National choice includes
the selection of values for Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs).
The national standard implementing prEN 1993-1-3 can have a National Annex containing all national
choices to be used for the design of buildings and civil engineering works to be constructed in the relevant
country.
When no national choice is given, the default choice given in this standard is to be used.
When no national choice is made and no default is given in this standard, the choice can be specified by a
relevant authority or, where not specified, agreed for a specific project by appropriate parties.
National choice is allowed in prEN 1993-1-3 through notes to the following clauses:
4(3) 4(4) 4 (5) 5.2.1(3)
7.1(2) 7.2.1(6) 8.2.5(2) 10.3(3)
10.3(3) 10.3(3) 10.3(3) 12(1)
A.1(1) A.9.4(3)

National choice is allowed in prEN 1993-1-3 on the application of the following informative annexes:
Annex B
The National Annex can contain, directly or by reference, non-contradictory complementary information
for ease of implementation, provided it does not alter any provisions of the Eurocodes.

1 Scope
1.1 Scope of prEN 1993-1-3
(1) This document provides rules for structural design of cold-formed steel members and sheeting.
(2) This document applies to cold-formed steel products made from coated or uncoated hot- or cold-
rolled sheet or strip, which have been cold-formed by processes such as roll-forming or press-braking. It
also covers sheeting and members which are curved during fabrication by continuous bending or roll-
forming. Sheeting which has the curvature created by crushing the inner flanges is not included. This
document is also applicable to the design of profiled steel sheeting for composite steel and concrete slabs
at the construction stage, see EN 1994. The execution of steel structures made of cold-formed steel
members and sheeting is covered in EN 1090-4. Provisions for bolted connections are provided in
EN 1090-2.
NOTE The rules in prEN 1993-1-3 complement the rules in other parts of EN 1993-1.
(3) Methods are also given for stressed-skin design, using steel sheeting as a structural diaphragm.
(4) This document does not apply to cold-formed circular and rectangular structural hollow sections
supplied to EN 10219, for which reference is made to EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-8.
(5) This document provides methods for design by calculation and for design assisted by testing. The
methods for design by calculation apply only within the stated ranges of material properties and
geometric proportions, for which sufficient experience and test evidence is available. These limitations
do not apply to design assisted by testing.
1.2 Assumptions
(1) Unless specifically stated, EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts) and EN 1993-1-1 apply.
(2) The design methods given in prEN 1993-1-3 are applicable if:
— the execution quality is as specified in EN 1090-4, the execution quality of bolted connections is as
specified in EN 1090-2, and
— the construction materials and products are as specified in the relevant parts of EN 1993 (all parts),
or in the relevant material and product specifications.
(2) EN 1993 is intended to be used in conjunction with:
— the parts of EN 1992 to EN 1999 where steel structures or steel components are referred to within
those documents;
— EN, EAD and ETA standards for construction products relevant to steel structures.
