Comparison of beam-column resistance according to European Standards

Abstract When designing slender steel beam-columns, verification of their resistance have to satisfy design criterions according to approaches given in EN 1993-1-1. Torsten Hoglund (2014) also presented proposal for verification of beam-column resistance, which is based on design approach accepted in EN 1999-1-1, together with comparisons between these two standards on simply supported members subjected to compressive force and constant or linearly distributed bending moment. In this paper, further comparisons between these two approaches with different end conditions and different distribution of internal forces are presented.
