1.1 Scope of prEN 1993-1-3 (1) This document provides rules for structural design of cold-formed steel members and sheeting. (2) This document applies to cold-formed steel products made from coated or uncoated hot- or cold-rolled sheet or strip, which have been cold-formed by processes such as roll-forming or press braking. It also covers sheeting and members which are curved during fabrication by continuous bending or roll-forming. Sheeting which has the curvature created by crushing the inner flanges is not included. This document is also applicable to the design of profiled steel sheeting for composite steel and concrete slabs at the construction stage, see EN 1994. The execution of steel structures made of cold-formed steel members and sheeting is covered in EN 1090 4. Provisions for bolted connections are provided in EN 1090 2. NOTE The rules in prEN 1993 1 3 complement the rules in other parts of EN 1993 1. (3) Methods are also given for stressed-skin design, using steel sheeting as a structural diaphragm. (4) This document does not apply to cold-formed circular and rectangular
