<strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Designers</strong>' <strong>Manual</strong> - 6th Edition (2003)<br />

1056 The Eurocodes<br />

countries were the various Recommendations published by ECCS. From these were<br />

developed the initial draft Eurocode 3 published by the European Commission,<br />

followed by the various parts of ENV 1993 issued by CEN. The best known is<br />

Part 1.1 General rules and rules for buildings; this is what is often thought of as EC3<br />

but is only the first of a total of 18 documents issued as ENVs.<br />

However, attention must now turn to the forthcoming EN version, which will have<br />

full status as British Standard BS EN 1993.This is also being developed in a number<br />

of parts. Part 1 will probably be called Generic rules and will be sub-divided into 11<br />

sub-parts dealing with different types of steel components. Each of the other parts<br />

will then cover the application of the relevant generic rules to various types of structure.<br />

The various parts are listed in Tables 36.1 and 36.2. At present only a minority<br />

of drafts are nearing completion, so the titles should be understood as indicating<br />

the intended scope, rather than precisely defining the final titles. The position<br />

may change, but it seems probable that the total length of the nine application<br />

documents comprising Parts 2 to 7 will be far less than that of Part 1.<br />
