Overview
EN 1993-1-3:2024 - Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-3: Cold‑formed members and sheeting provides harmonised European rules for the structural design of cold‑formed steel products and profiled sheeting. Published by CEN in 2024, it replaces the 2006 edition and forms part of the second‑generation Eurocodes. The standard covers design by calculation and design assisted by testing, and includes provisions for stressed‑skin (diaphragm) action of sheeting and for profiled sheeting used in composite slabs at the construction stage.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of materials and forms: Applies to coated or uncoated hot‑ or cold‑rolled sheet or strip that has been cold‑formed (e.g., roll‑forming, press‑braking). Curved members produced by continuous bending or roll‑forming are included; sheeting curved by crushing inner flanges is excluded.
- Design methods: Rules for design by calculation within validated geometric and material ranges, and procedures for design assisted by testing where calculation limits do not apply.
- Buckling and stability: Detailed treatment of local, distortional and global buckling modes specific to thin‑walled cold‑formed sections and profiled sheeting.
- Cross‑sectional analysis: Effective width/ thickness methods, provisions for outstand elements, and criteria for sections with multiple unstiffened webs.
- Connections and execution: References execution quality and bolted connection requirements to EN 1090 (execution) and EN 1090‑2 (bolted connections). Welding and fastening provisions are included.
- Special systems: Stressed‑skin design using sheeting as structural diaphragms, and rules for liner trays, sandwich panels and sheeting‑restraint effects.
- Testing and annexes: Normative annex with testing procedures and informative annexes addressing fastener durability and mixed effective width/thickness methods.
- Limitations: Excludes cold‑formed circular and rectangular hollow sections supplied to EN 10219 (covered by EN 1993‑1‑1 and EN 1993‑1‑8).
Practical applications
- Design and verification of roofing and wall profiled sheeting, cold‑formed purlins, girts, liner trays and light steel framing.

The EN 1993-1-3:2024 standard presents a comprehensive approach to the design of cold-formed steel structures, specifically focusing on cold-formed members and sheeting. Its scope ensures that a wide range of cold-formed steel products-whether derived from coated or uncoated hot- or cold-rolled sheet or strip-are accurately addressed, thus enhancing the design process for structural engineers. One of the key strengths of this standard is its inclusivity regarding various fabrication methods, such as roll-forming and press braking, which allows for flexibility in design applications. Additionally, it effectively encompasses curved sheeting and members, thereby providing solutions for structures requiring complex geometries. This relevance is further amplified by specifying the standard's application to profiled steel sheeting for composite steel and concrete slabs, effectively integrating it into modern construction practices. Moreover, the standard's provision for design calculations and testing methods reinforces its robustness. This dual approach accommodates different project needs, offering reliable design guidelines based on well-established material properties and geometric proportions. Importantly, the exclusion of cold-formed circular and rectangular structural hollow sections and the reference to other parts of EN 1993 ensures clarity and precision in application, preventing potential misinterpretations. The integration of stressed-skin design techniques within the document is another major strength, highlighting the versatility of steel sheeting as a structural diaphragm.
