Abstract :
[en] The design of composite columns made of steel and concrete is governed by Eurocode 4 where the General Method is based on a comprehensive numerical analysis, followed by validation of the safety level. However, the current EN 1994-1-1:2004 does not provide detailed information on the application of the General Method, and only limited information is available in literature. As a result, the General Method is often reserved for experts. The new FprEN 1994-1-1:2025 introduces complementary information regarding the General Method, addressing the modelling of geometric imperfections, residual stresses, material resistance, and the application of the method itself. In combination with the development of increasingly powerful software, nonline-ar design methods are also expected to gain greater significance in composite construction.
