SP RK EN 1993-1-1:2005/2011 PDF

Full title and description

SP RK EN 1993-1-1:2005/2011 — "Проектирование стальных конструкций. Часть 1-1. Общие правила и правила для зданий" / "Design of steel structures — Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings". This document is the national (SP RK) adoption of Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005) with Kazakhstan’s national application and subsequent amendments.

Abstract

SP RK EN 1993-1-1:2005/2011 establishes the principles, design rules and verification procedures for steel buildings and general steel structural elements. It implements EN 1993-1-1 within the Kazakhstan regulatory framework (including a national annex and later amendments), and is used together with the national versions of EN 1990 (basis of design) and EN 1991 (actions on structures).

General information

• Status: Active / in national use (with amendments recorded through 2021 and later updates applied within the SP RK EN series).
• Publication date: Original EN text 2005 (EN 1993-1-1:2005); national adoption indicated by the suffix /2011; national implementation and entry-into-effect dates for the SP RK EN suite were applied during 2011–2015 (effective dates for specific SP RK documents commonly referenced as 01.07.2015 for entry into force of the SP RK EN package).
• Publisher: Adopted and published in the Republic of Kazakhstan by the authorised national construction technical regulation body (Committee for Construction / Department of Technical Regulation within the relevant Ministry — the national body responsible for SP RK EN documents).
• ICS / categories: Construction and structural standards — typical ICS classifications for EN 1993 series: 91.010.30 (technical aspects) and 91.080.13 / 91.080.10 (steel / metal structures).
• Edition / version: SP RK EN 1993-1-1:2005/2011 (national adoption of EN 1993-1-1:2005 with Kazakhstan national annex and recorded amendments). Documents in the SP RK EN suite have received updates and corrigenda periodically (see national amendment history).
• Number of pages: Varies by national publication and language edition; the Kazakhstan SP RK published edition is commonly available in bilingual formats (Kazakh/Russian) and is reported in national catalogs as ~125 pages for the Part 1‑1 SP RK edition.

Scope

Gives the general design rules for steel structures and supplementary provisions for the structural design of steel buildings: limit states design (ultimate and serviceability), material properties, classification of cross‑sections, resistance of members and connections, stability and buckling considerations, and interfaces with other Eurocode parts (EN 1990, EN 1991 and other EN 1993 parts). The SP RK version applies these provisions within Kazakhstan through a national annex and any national choices.

Key topics and requirements

• Design philosophy and basis of safety — limit states (ultimate and serviceability) and partial safety factors.
• Material properties and steel grades — provision for design values and verification of material properties.
• Cross‑section classification and plastic/elastic design rules.
• Member strength checks — bending, axial, shear and combined actions.
• Stability and buckling checks for members and frames (local, global and lateral‑torsional buckling provisions).
• Rules for connections and detailing (referenced EN parts where appropriate).
• Requirements for use with EN 1990 (basis of design) and EN 1991 (actions) and for application of the Kazakhstan national annex / national choices.

Typical use and users

Used by structural engineers, designers, calculation offices, construction regulators, software developers and contractors for the design and verification of steel buildings and structural components in Kazakhstan. Also used by educators and consultants when applying Eurocode‑based design practice in projects subject to SP RK regulation.

Related standards

Belongs to the SP RK EN (Eurocode) family. Primary related standards and documents include: SP RK EN 1990 (Basis of structural design), SP RK EN 1991 (Actions on structures), other parts of EN 1993 (other parts dealing with connections, fatigue, fire, towers, etc.), national annexes and SP RK technical supplements. The SP RK EN suite is implemented together with Kazakhstan national guidance and companion NTP/NP documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Republic of Kazakhstan adoption (SP RK) of Eurocode 3 Part 1‑1 (EN 1993‑1‑1:2005) — the national code text and national application rules for the design of steel structures for buildings.

Q: What does it cover?

A: General design rules for steel structures used in buildings: limit states design, member and connection checks, cross‑section classification, stability (buckling) rules and interaction with EN 1990 and EN 1991. National choices and annexes tailor the Eurocode provisions to Kazakhstan practice.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural engineers, designers, verification bodies, construction regulators, software implementers and contractors working on steel building projects in Kazakhstan or on projects where SP RK EN codes are mandated.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The SP RK EN 1993-1-1:2005/2011 edition is in national use with recorded amendments (amendments noted up to 2021). National authorities have issued updates and corrigenda to Eurocode adoptions over time; users should verify the national edition and any later amendments or newer European EN revisions before use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1‑1 of the Eurocode 3 (EN 1993) series. The EN 1993 family contains additional parts addressing connections, fatigue, fire design and special structures; SP RK publishes corresponding national adoptions and national annexes for the whole Eurocode suite.

Q: What are the key keywords?
