Understanding Steel Beam Design | Eurocode 3 Approach

Welcome to this in-depth guide on steel beam design using the principles of Eurocode 3! 🚧 This video is perfect for Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers, and undergraduate students looking to master the essentials of designing steel structures. Throughout the video, we’ll explore how to design steel beams and columns while addressing key concepts like bending moment, shear force, and deflection. We’ll dive into critical topics such as lateral torsional buckling and analyze the behavior of steelwork in common scenarios like simply supported beams and cantilevers. You’ll also see a live demonstration of CalcForge, a free software tool that simplifies checking steel designs against Eurocode 3. Plus, we’ll take a hands-on approach by walking through first principles and manual hand calculations to ensure you fully grasp the fundamentals of steel design. 👉 Try CalcForge here: https://calcforge.com/ 👉 Access the Free Steel Design Calculator: https://calcforge.com/1/free-steel-section-calculator 📚 Topics Covered & Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction to Steel Beam Design 1:13 – How to design steel beams following Eurocode 3 2:03 – How to use software to design steelwork and automate Eurocode 3 checks 4:55 – Simply supported, fixed end and cantilever steel beams. 6:17 – How to calculate steel section classifications 6:51 – Shear buckling of web calculation 7:03 – Steel compression calculations 7:22 – How to check lateral torsion buckling of steel 8:21 – Eurocode 3 Steel Design Theory and hand calculations 💡 Why Watch This Video?
