Calculation of crack resistance and strength of the steel in the direction of thickness according to TKP EN 1993-1-10
The paper presents the general provisions of the TKP EN 1993-1-10 «Eurocode 3. Design of steel structures. Part 1-10. Crack resistance and strength properties of the materials in the direction of steel thickness." for calculating of steel structures, providing the exclusion to brittle fracture. This method allows to determine the admitted by steel thickness in relation to the estimated temperature, and to evaluate crack resistance of steel with the position of fracture mechanics. The article gives examples of calculation of crack resistance and strength of the material in the direction of steel thickness.
