EN 13001 Plate Buckling (2025)

Crane girders and other fabricated steel components can include plates and webs that require stability verification under compression, shear, and combined loading. The planned support is intended for applicable plated regions in crane structures within the released scope. 

Target verification scope 

• Plate-buckling checks for supported plated components in crane structures. 
• Use of plate geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, and FEA load effects. 
• Code-aligned stability assessment within the released loading and geometry scope. 
• Report output for review of governing utilization and design assumptions. 

Planned workflow in SDC Verifier 

The intended workflow is to select supported plate regions, provide or recognize required geometry, map FEA stresses and actions to the check, and review the governing result. Final plate types and load treatment will be confirmed at release. 

Availability 

This check is on the SDC Verifier roadmap. The final plate geometry scope, calculation coverage, and release timing have not yet been finalized.
