National Annex (informative) to SLS EN 1993-1-10:2016, Eurocode 3: Design of Steel
Structures – Part 1-10: Material toughness and through-thickness properties
Introduction
This National Annex has been prepared based on EN 1993-1-10:2005 incorporating corrigenda
December 2005 and March 2009 by the Working Group on Formulation of National Annexes to
Eurocode 3, Design of Steel Structures. It is to be used in conjunction with
SLS EN 1993-1-10:2016 along with any further revision, amendment or corrigendum thereto.
This National Annex was approved by the Sectoral Committee on Building and Construction
Materials and was authorized for publication as a Sri Lanka National Annex by the Council of the
Sri Lanka Standards Institution on 2017-12-04.
In the preparation of this standard the assistance derived from the publications of the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) and British Standards Institution (BSI) are gratefully
acknowledged.
NA.1 Scope
This National Annex gives:
a) The decisions for the National Determined Parameters described in the following
clauses and sub clauses of SLS EN 1993-1-10:2016
2.2(5)
3.1(1)
b) References to non-contradictory complementary information.
NA.2 Nationally Determined Parameters
NA.2.1 Procedure [SLS EN 1993-1-10:2016, 2.2(5)]
NA.2.1.1 Safety element
NA.2.1.1.1 Factors affecting safety elements
The value of ΔTR should be obtained from the following equation:
ΔTR = ΔTRD + ΔTRg + ΔTRT + ΔTRσ + ΔTRs
where
ΔTRD is an adjustment for the detail type (see NA.2.1.1.2);
ΔTRg is an adjustment for the gross stress concentrations (see NA.2.1.1.3);
ΔTRT is an adjustment for Charpy test temperature (see NA.2.1.1.4);
ΔTRσ is an adjustment for the applied stress level (see NA.2.1.1.5);
ΔTRs is an adjustment for the strength grade (see NA.2.1.1.6);
The procedures in NA.2.1.1.2 to NA.2.1.1.6 for ΔTR are consistent with ΔTσ = 00c.

Reference to guidance giving recommended maximum permissible values of
element thickness t for reference temperatures below -500c is given in NA.3.
NA.2.1.1.2 Adjustment for detail type, ΔTRD
The value of ΔTRD = 0 should be used except as follows:
a) unwelded details:
for unwelded as-rolled, ground or machined surfaces, a value of ΔTRD = +300c
should be used;
for unwelded mechanically fastened joints or flame cut edges, a value of ΔT RD =
+200c should be used;
b) welded details:
for welded details, the value of ΔTRD = +00c should be used; except for those
locations given in Table NA.1.

NA.2.1.1.3 Adjustment for detail type, ΔTRg
The value of ΔTRg should be applied for initiation sites in regions of gross stress
concentration in accordance with Table NA 2.

NA.2.1.1.3 Adjustment for Charpy test temperature, ΔTRT
The value of ΔTRT according to the difference between the Charpy test temperature T
and the minimum steel temperature (Tmd + ΔT1) should be as given in Table NA.3.

Charpy test and minimum service temperatures

C)
Welded joint types where either ΔTRD + ΔTRσ <00C or ΔTRg <00C should
not be used in tension if T – ((Tmd + ΔT1) > 350C (see Tables NA.1 and NA.2)
respectively). No type of welded joint should be used in tension in this
temperature condition where ΔT1 < 00C(see SLS EN 1993-1-10:2016, 2.2 and
2.3)
NA.2.1.1.5 Adjustment for applied stress, ΔTRσ
For σEd = 0.75fy(t), ΔTRσ may be taken as zero. For σEd < 0.75fy(t), the values for
0.75fy(t) should be used, but adjusted by use of a ΔTRσ value for lower values of σEd
as given in Table NA.4. Linear interpolation may be used for intermediate values of
σEd in Table NA.4.

The maximum range between TEd and the Charpy test temperature T should be
limited such that the recommended values given in Table NA.3 are achieved.
NA.2.1.2.2 Range of σEd
The use of Table 2.1 may be restricted to the values of t given for σEd = 0.75fy(t) . For
other values of σEd see NA.2.1.1.5.

Table 2.1 may be used for steel grades up to and including S690 (subject to the
recommendations given in NA.2.1.1.6)
