Introduction

In this document, the results of SCIA Engineer concerning the Steel Code Check according to EN 1993 are compared to benchmark projects.

A total of 51 benchmarks are evaluated for EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-2 and EN 1993-1-3. In addition some benchmarks include parts of EN 1993-1-5 and EN 1993-1-8.

An overview of supported articles as well as theoretical background on how specific code rules have been implemented/supported within SCIA Engineer can be found in the Steel Code Check Theoretical Background: "EC3 - EN 1993"

All checks are executed according to the regulations given in the following codes and correction sheets:
