Are there plans to include this as an option in the Criteria Steel Design Codes?
Currently using the Eurocode the design fy for a 30mm thick flange section is fy=355N/mm2
Under UK NA this would be reduced to 345N/mm2 (e.g. as per BS 5950:2000)
Similarly for other thicknesses c.f.
- BS EN 1993-1-1:2005, 3.2.1(1)
- UKNA to BS EN 1993-1-1, NA.2.4
- EN 10025-2:2004, Table 7 and EN 10210-1, Table A.3 and Table B.3
