Hi! It might be useful to check - probably by asking a local structural engineer - the type of foundation of the neighboring buildings. All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

I agree with CoryPad, Eurocode 3 already covers stainless steel. Moreover, the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) has also published a design guide about stainless steel which is really useful. It contains a lot of theoretical information as well as design examples. All about Eurocodes...

I searched through internet and I found this thread about cellular beams. You might find it useful! All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Daven, have a look also at this article! All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Eurocodes take into account the bottom flange loading of a beam through the expression of the critical moment for LTB (Mcr). All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Why don't you use Eurocodes (Eurocode 1 part 1-4 - EN1991 1-4)? They are easy to use, there are a lot of worked examples through internet and they are the official design standard of many European and non-European countries! All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Yes, you are right! The bottom flange of the beam is stabilised with stiff diagonal bracings (angles) that connect the beam with the roof purlins. As for your question, I am not sure... You could probably embed properly anchored steel sections in concrete slab prior curing. All about Eurocodes...

I am using angles like the picture displayed here. All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Hi! I don't think your approach is correct. Check this method to design ribbed slabs using only hand calculations. All about Eurocodes: www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Hello Alexgan! In general I agree with all the advices hokie66 gave you. The cross-section of your column is too small comparing to its length and compressive load. I also agree with what he said about structural software. They are just a useful tool only if you know how to use them and if you...

Unfortunately, instinct, even though it is necessary, is not always enough... Check these books and Trada's website and you might find a design example! All about Eurocodes: http://www.DesignToEurocodes.com

Eurocodes, especially for structural steel, are really easy to use! This link contains a full list of free bibliography (design examples, case studies, design guides) for structural steel design according to Eurocodes! I am sure you will find it useful! All about Eurocodes...

I am not sure if there is such term in EC5... Is it the similar to 'wall diaphragm'? What is the purpose of this wall? All about Eurocodes: http://www.DesignToEurocodes.com
