Overview
EN 1993-1-5:2024 - Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 1-5: Plated structural elements (CEN) provides design rules for stiffened and unstiffened nominally flat plates in steel structures that are subjected to in‑plane forces. The standard addresses non‑uniform stress distributions caused by shear lag, in‑plane load introduction and plate buckling, and sets conditions for when a plate can be treated as nominally flat (curvature criterion: r ≥ b²/t). Out‑of‑plane loading effects are outside the main scope.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & assumptions: Applies with EN 1990, EN 1991 series and EN 1993-1-1 unless stated otherwise. Execution quality and materials must meet EN 1090‑2 and relevant EN 1993 parts.
- Shear lag: Elastic and ultimate‑limit considerations, effective width models and stress distributions are provided for members where stress is non‑uniform.
- Plate buckling: Rules for plate and column‑like buckling, effective cross‑section, slenderness limits, and interpolation between plate and column behaviour.
- Stiffened vs unstiffened plates: Guidance for longitudinal and transverse stiffeners, detailing, welds, and minimum stiffener requirements.
- Resistance checks: Design resistance formulations for direct stresses, shear, patch loading and interactions (axial/bending/shear).
- Design methods: Includes effective width approaches, the reduced stress method, and provisions for design assisted by finite element analysis.
- Special topics: Plate girders with corrugated webs, flange‑induced buckling, and requirements for end and intermediate stiffeners.
- Informative annexes: Annex A (critical stress calculation for stiffened plates) and Annex B (non‑uniform members and interaction with lateral‑torsional buckling).
Practical applications
EN 1993-1-5:2024 is used to design and verify plate elements in a wide range of steel structures where plates carry in‑plane forces:
- Plate girders, floor and roof plate elements, shear panels and web/flange panels
- Stiffened panels in industrial structures, marine and offshore jacket components (where in‑plane assumptions apply)
- Fabrication detailing for stiffeners, welds and bearing arrangements
Typical users:
- Structural engineers and designers performing Eurocode‑based steel design
- Detailers and fabricators ensuring compliance with EN 1090‑2 execution standards
- Design offices, reviewers and certification bodies checking buckling, shear lag and interaction verifications

European foreword
This document (EN 1993-1-5:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250 “Structural
Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all Structural
Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical matters by CEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2027, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by March 2028.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1993-1-5:2006 and its amendments and corrigenda.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National
Annexes.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are listed below:
― the torsional stiffness of closed-section stiffeners has been taken into consideration;
― the procedure for interpolation between column-like and plate-like behaviour has been revised;
― the scope has been extended to non-rectangular panels;
― the presence of longitudinal stiffeners with a low stiffness is neglected for the verification to direct
stresses;
― rules for patch loading resistance have been revised;
― the interaction formulae have been revised and extended;
― rules for the verification of the transverse stiffeners have been revised;
― rules for the verification of flange-induced buckling have been revised;
― reduced stress method has been extended to bi-axial loading;
― rules for corrugated webs have been extended.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.

4 Basis of design
4.1 General rules
4.1.1 Basic requirement
(1) The design of steel plated structural elements shall be in accordance with the general rules given in
EN 1990 and the EN 1991 series and the specific design provisions for steel structures given in
EN 1993-1-1.
(2) Steel structures designed according to this document shall be executed according to EN 1090-2 with
construction materials and products used as specified in the relevant parts of the EN 1993 series or in
the relevant material and product specifications.
(3) The effects of shear lag and plate buckling shall be taken into account at the serviceability and ultimate
limit states, including fatigue if applicable.
4.2 Partial factors
(1) The partial factors as defined in EN 1993-1-1 should be applied to the characteristic values of the
following resistances:
— Resistance to direct stresses γ
M0
— Resistance to shear γ
M1
— Resistance to patch loading γ
M1
— Resistance of transverse stiffeners γ
M1
— Resistance according to the reduced stress method γ
M1
— Resistance of compression flanges of girder with corrugated webs where γ
M1
lateral torsional buckling governs
SIST EN 1993-1-5:2024
(2) Partial factors γ and γ have the value assigned to them in the National Annex to the relevant parts
M0 M1
of EN 1993-1 to EN 1993-6.
4.3 Effective width models for global analysis
(1) The effects of shear lag and of plate buckling on the stiffness of members and joints shall be taken into
account in the global analysis.
(2) The effects of shear lag of flanges in global analysis may be taken into account by the use of an
s s
effective width. For simplicity this effective width may be assumed to be uniform over the length of the
span.
s
(3) For each span of a member the effective width of flanges should be taken as the lesser of the gross
width and L/8 per side of the web, where L is the span or twice the distance from the support to the end
of a cantilever.
p
(4) The effects of plate buckling in elastic global analysis may be taken into account by effective cross-
sectional areas of the elements in compression, see 6.3.
(5) For the calculation of effective areas for stiffness, the serviceability limit state slenderness λ may
p,ser
be calculated from:
σ
com,Ed,ser
λλ=
(4.1)
p,ser p
f
y
where
σ is defined as the maximum compressive stress (calculated on the basis of the effective cross-
com,Ed,ser
section) in the relevant element under loads at serviceability limit state.
(6) The second moment of area at serviceability limit state may be calculated by an interpolation of the
gross cross-section and the effective cross-section for the relevant load combination using the formula:
σ
gr
(4.2)
I =I − II− σ
( )
( )
eff gr gr eff com,Ed,ser
σ
com,Ed,ser
where
I is the second moment of area of the gross cross-section;
gr
σ is the maximum compressive bending stress at serviceability limit states based on
gr
the gross cross-section;
I (σ ) is the second moment of area of the effective cross-section with allowance for
eff com,Ed,ser
local buckling according to 6.4.1(7) calculated for the maximum stress σ ≥
com,Ed,ser
σ within the span length considered, using the reduced slenderness obtained
gr
from Formula (4.1).
(7) The effective second moment of area I may be taken as variable along the span according to the most
eff
severe locations. Alternatively, a uniform value may be used based on the maximum absolute sagging
moment under serviceability loading.
(8) The calculations described in (5) and (6) require iterations, but as a conservative approximation they
may be carried out as a single calculation at a stress level equal to or higher than σ .
com,Ed,ser
SIST EN 1993-1-5:2024
p
(9) For global analysis, the effect of plate buckling on the stiffness may be ignored when the effective
cross-sectional area of an element in compression at ultimate limit state is greater than 0,5 times the
gross cross-sectional area of the same element. The criterion applies for all individual plates of the cross-
section.
4.4 Plate buckling effects on uniform members
p
(1) Effective width models for direct stresses, resistance models for shear buckling and buckling due to
transverse loads as well as interactions between these models for determining the resistance of uniform
members at the ultimate limit state may be used when the following conditions apply:
— panels are rectangular and flanges are parallel;
— the diameter of any unstiffened open hole or cut out does not exceed 0,05b, where b is the width of
the panel.
(2) If the panel is non-rectangular but with an angle ϕ (see Figure 4.1) equal to or less than 10°, the panel
may be considered as a rectangular panel to calculate the relevant reduction factors, using as reference
width b the larger of b and b (according to Figure 4.1).
1 2
(3) If the panel is non-rectangular with an angle ϕ greater than 10° but less than or equal to 17,5°, the
rules given in 6.7 (5) should be applied.
NOTE The elastic buckling load factor α can be calculated either considering a rectangular panel with the
cr
larger width or considering the real tapered shape and corresponding edge stresses. As the stress distribution is
changing between the different cross-sections because of the tapering, this can lead to different plate slenderness
λ for the different cross-sections. See 6.4.1(1) for the definition of the reduction factor and 12.3(1) for the
p
definition of αcr.
(4) For non-rectangular panels with an angle ϕ greater than 17,5°, see 4.7.
Figure 4.1 — Definition of angle ϕ
s
(5) For the calculation of stresses at the serviceability and fatigue limit state the effective area may be
used if the condition in 4.3(9) is fulfilled. For ultimate limit states the effective area according to 5.3
should be used with β replaced by β .
ult
SIST EN 1993-1-5:2024
4.5 Reduced stress method
p
(1) As an alternative to the use of the effective width models for stress states given in Clauses 6 to 9, the
cross-sections may be assumed to be class 3 sections provided that the stresses in each panel do not
exceed the limits specified in Clause 12.
p
NOTE The reduced stress method is analogous to the effective width method (see 4.4) for single plated
elements. However, in verifying the stress limitations no load shedding is assumed between the plated elements of
the cross-section.
4.6 Design assisted by finite element analysis
(1) Finite element analysis for the calculation of the critical buckling stresses and for the verifications of
the ultimate limit states, serviceability limit states or fatigue limit states should be carried out according
to the rules given in EN 1993-1-14.
(2) The evaluation of the numerical simulation results should be made according to EN 1993-1-14.
NOTE The value of the maximum acceptable plastic strain is εmpp = 5 %, unless otherwise specified by the
National Annex.
4.7 Non-uniform members
(1) Non-uniform members (e.g. haunched members or non-rectangular panels with an angle ϕ greater
than 17,5°) or members with regular or irregular large openings may be analysed using Finite Element
(FE) methods.
NOTE For non-uniform members, guidance is also given in Annex B.
4.8 Members with corrugated webs
(1) For members with corrugated webs, the bending stiffness should be based on the flanges only and
webs should be considered to transfer shear and transverse loads. For the design of girders with
corrugated webs, see Clause 13.
5 Shear lag in member design
5.1 General
(1) Shear lag in flanges may be neglected if b < L /50 where b is taken as the gross width of the flange
0 e 0
outstand or half the width of an internal element and L is the length between points of zero bending
e

according to 5.3 may be used.
(3) Stresses due to patch loading in the web applied at the flange level should be determined from 5.2.3.

The kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 standard offers comprehensive guidelines for the structural design of plated structural elements, specifically focusing on stiffened and unstiffened nominally flat plates experiencing in-plane forces. Its scope is precisely defined, addressing crucial aspects such as non-uniform stress distributions caused by shear lag and plate buckling, while explicitly excluding the effects of out-of-plane loading. This focused approach ensures that designers have clear and applicable rules to follow, which enhances the reliability of designs involving in-plane load scenarios. One of the standard's notable strengths lies in its complementary relationship with EN 1993-1-1, which governs class 1, 2, 3, and 4 sections. This synergy allows for a more holistic understanding of structural design within the Eurocode framework. Additionally, the standard outlines specific conditions under which its design methods apply, reinforcing the importance of execution quality per EN 1090-2 and adherence to specified construction materials. This ensures that practitioners are guided to maintain high standards of workmanship and material integrity, which are essential for the safety and durability of steel structures. Moreover, the detailed definitions, such as the curvature criteria for single plate elements, provide clear guidelines that facilitate the proper assessment of structural components. The precision in the definition of nominally flat plates, paired with illustrative figures, enhances user comprehension and applicability in real-world scenarios. In terms of relevance, the kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 standard is invaluable for engineers and designers engaged in the fabrication and construction of steel structures. It fills a critical gap by addressing specific challenges encountered in the design of plated elements under in-plane forces, thereby enhancing both structural integrity and safety. The standard stands as a crucial resource within the Eurocode suite, ensuring that designers are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to execute efficient and reliable structural designs.
Die Norm kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023, die sich mit der Auslegung von Stahlkonstruktionen beschäftigt, bietet umfassende Regelungen für die strukturelle Gestaltung von verstärkten und nicht verstärkten nominal flachen Platten unter dem Einfluss von in-plane Kräften. Ihre Relevanz ist insbesondere in der Fähigkeit zu erkennen, dass sie nicht nur die Anforderungen an die Platten selbst behandelt, sondern auch die Auswirkungen von nicht gleichmäßigen Spannungsverteilungen infolge von Scherlag, der Einführung von in-plane Lasten und dem Plattenknicken behandelt. Diese Aspekte sind entscheidend für die sichere und effektive Anwendung in der Baupraxis. Ein wichtiges Merkmal der Norm ist die klare Abgrenzung des Anwendungsbereichs. Während die Regelungen für klassen 1 bis 4 Sektionen ergänzend erörtert werden, umfasst die Norm spezifisch die Eigenschaften, die für nominal flache Platten entscheidend sind. Diese Fokussierung auf Platten allein schafft eine präzise und anwendungsorientierte Ressource für Ingenieure, die an der Planung und Ausführung von Stahlkonstruktionen beteiligt sind. Die in der Norm enthaltenen Annahmen, die zur Anwendung der Entwurfsmethoden notwendig sind, stellen sicher, dass die Qualitätsanforderungen aus EN 1090-2 sowie die Spezifikationen der Materialien und Produkte beachtet werden. Diese Vorgaben fördern die Konsistenz und Sicherheit von Konstruktionen, die die Normen einhalten. Die Innereien der Norm bieten auch klare Grafiken, wie in Abbildung 1.1 dargestellt, die bei der Definition der Plattenkrümmung helfen, wodurch die Anwendung der Regeln weiter erleichtert wird. Insgesamt ist die kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 von großer Bedeutung für die Ingenieurskunst, da sie eine solide Grundlage für die Planung und Ausführung von flachen Stahlelementen liefert und gleichzeitig die notwendigen Sicherheitsstandards und Qualitätskontrollen garantiert.
La norme kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023, intitulée "Eurocode 3 - Conception des structures en acier - Partie 1-5 : Éléments structuraux à plaques", présente un cadre essentiel pour la conception de plaques nominalement planes, îles rigides et non rigides, soumises à des forces en plan. L'un des points forts de cette norme est son approche complète des distributions de stress non uniformes, qui peuvent survenir en raison de phénomènes tels que le décalage de cisaillement, l'introduction de charges dans le plan et le flambage des plaques. Cette couverture des effets de charge dans le plan en fait un outil précieux pour les ingénieurs, illustre largement sa pertinence dans le domaine de l'ingénierie des structures, tout en précisant clairement que les effets des charges hors plan ne relèvent pas de son champ d'application. Les règles énoncées dans cette norme viennent compléter les spécifications pour les sections de classe 1, 2, 3 et 4, comme le précise la norme EN 1993-1-1. De plus, elle établit des liens clairs avec d'autres normes pertinentes, telles que l'EN 1993-2 et l'EN 1993-6, pour le design de plaques minces et les effets de fatigue dus à la flexion hors plan. Ceci démontre une intégration efficace avec d'autres documents normatifs, renforçant ainsi la cohérence et l'harmonisation au sein de l'Eurocode. La norme stipule également des conditions précises pour l'application des méthodes de conception, en se basant sur la qualité d'exécution définie dans l'EN 1090-2 ainsi que sur les matériaux et produits spécifiés dans les sections pertinentes de la série EN 1993. Cela témoigne de son sérieux et de sa rigueur, garantissant que les résultats de conception soient non seulement fiables, mais également conformes aux exigences de sécurité. En conclusion, kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 apparaît comme une norme essentielle pour les professionnels de la structure, permettant une conception optimisée des éléments à plaques tout en prenant en compte divers éléments complexes liés à la charge. Sa portée, ses forces et sa pertinence en font un outil indispensable dans le domaine de l'ingénierie des structures en acier.
kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 표준 문서는 강구조물 설계의 유럽 규정 중 중요한 부분으로, 강화된 구조 요소와 비강화 평면 판의 구조적 설계를 위한 규칙을 제공합니다. 이 표준의 범위는 평면 힘을 받는 판의 설계에 대한 규정으로, 비정상적인 응력 분포, 쉐어 레그(Shear Lag) 현상, 그리고 판의 좌굴과 같은 다양한 효과를 명확히 다루고 있습니다. 특히, 이 문서는 비평면 하중의 영향은 다루지 않고 내력 및 하중을 정량화하는 데 중점을 둡니다. 이 표준의 강점은 철저한 가정과 세부 설계 방법론을 제시하여 실제 구조물의 설계에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 도전 과제를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있도록 한다는 점입니다. 또, EN 1993-1-1에서 규정된 1, 2, 3, 4 등급 섹션에 대한 규칙을 보완함으로써 전체적인 강구조 설계의 일관성을 유지하였습니다. kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023 표준은 건축 및 엔지니어링 분야에서 매우 중요한 문서로, 현대의 강구조물 설계에 필수적으로 요구되는 기준을 제공하며, 특히 반복 하중이나 판의 요소에 의한 힘과 같은 복잡한 상황에서도 적절한 설계를 가능하게 하는 내용을 포함하고 있어 그 적합성이 높습니다. 이러한 점에서 이 표준은 강구조물 설계를 위한 신뢰할 수 있는 지침으로 자리잡게 됩니다.
kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023は、鋼構造の設計に関する欧州規格の一部であり、特に剛接合および非剛接合の名目上平面板の構造設計に関する規則を提供しています。この文書は、平面内の力を受ける構造要素の設計に非常に重要な役割を果たし、特に板の軸方向の力に関する非均一な応力分布や、せん断ラグ、板の座屈に関する考慮が含まれています。 この標準の一つの強みは、特定の設計条件や材料仕様に従うことで、様々な状況に適用可能な設計方法を示している点です。具体的には、EN 1090-2に基づく施工品質や、関連するEN 1993シリーズの材料規格に基づく設計方法が提案されています。このように、kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023は、明確な基準を設けることで、設計の安全性と実用性を担保しています。 また、名目上平坦な単一板要素の定義を通じて、設計者が板の曲率半径が圧縮方向に対してどのように設定されるべきかの指針も提供されています。この情報は、実際の設計作業において非常に有用であり、設計者がより正確に構造の安定性を評価できるようになっています。 しかし、kSIST FprEN 1993-1-5:2023は、平面外荷重の影響については取り扱っていないため、これに関する設計が必要な場合は、他の規格（EN 1993-2やEN 1993-1-7）を参照する必要があります。このように、各部分が関係し合い、総合的な設計基準を形成している点は、標準化の重要な側面と言えます。 この標準は、鋼構造物の設計に携わるエンジニアや設計者にとって、必須の基準として高い関連性を持っています。特に鋼構造の安全性と耐久性を向上させるための基礎を提供しているため、業界内での重要性は増しており、今後の設計プロセスにおける中心的な役割を果たすことが期待されます。
The article discusses the design requirements for stiffened and unstiffened plates that are subjected to in-plane forces. It covers the effects of shear lag, in-plane load introduction, and plate buckling for I-section girders, box girders, tanks, and silos. However, it does not include the effects of out-of-plane loading. The rules in this part complement the rules for different class sections. For the design of slender plates subject to repeated stress and/or fatigue due to out-of-plane bending, other standards like EN 1993-2 and EN 1993-6 should be referred to. The effects of out-of-plane loading, as well as the combination of in-plane and out-of-plane loading effects, are covered in EN 1993-2 and EN 1993-1-7. Single plate elements can be considered as flat if the curvature radius satisfies a specific equation.
