Design Algorithms Flow Chart Eurocode 3

This flowchart outlines the design result check process for steel members. It begins by determining the class of cross section, then checks the design axial, shear, and moment resistances through a series of steps. It also checks for lateral torsional buckling resistance and resistance under combined axial and moment loads. The flowchart provides the conceptual process and is not intended for program coding. It includes additional sub-flowcharts for checking axial resistance, shear resistance, moment resistance, and other criteria.
