This code is an update to our current Eurocode 3. The changes are minor and the code checking process remains the same as the previous Eurocode 3 design.

The design parameters are the same and apply as defined for the current Eurocode 3, the only exception, however, is the ‘Code’ parameter which must be set to ‘EC3 BS’. This setting is available form the GUI list of codes.

Note that a design performed to the new Eurocode 3 standard is displayed in the output file (*.ANL) with the following header:

                       STAAD.PRO CODE CHECKING - (BS EN 1993-1-1:2005)
   **************************
   
 PROGRAM CODE REVISION V1.1 BS_EC3_2005/1

The equivalent header for a code check (or member selection) to the older standard is displayed thus:

              STAAD.PRO CODE CHECKING - (DD ENV)
   ***********************

   PROGRAM CODE REVISION V1.14_EC3_94/1
