Making the most of Eurocodes for critical buckling analysis Case Study Investigations into the implications of changing to Eurocodes for bridge design Comparison of analysis of ?rst and second order e?ects for critical buckling analysis Increased load factors obtained - especially for nonlinear analysis Atkins, the UK’s largest engineering consultancy, has been carrying out investigations into the implications of using the new Eurocodes for UK bridge design. As part of its study ?nite element test models were created in LUSAS Bridge to assess particular aspects of the new codes. From analyses carried out, signi?cant bene?ts have been seen when using the new Eurocodes for linear and nonlinear investigations into critical buckling analysis of steel girder structures with transverse sti?ener
