Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 1993-1-6-ed.2 (731401):

This document provides supplementary rules for the structural design of steel structures that extend and modify the application of EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3, EN 1993-1-5 and EN 1993-1-8 to austenitic, duplex (austenitic-ferritic) and ferritic stainless steels.

NOTE 1 - Austenitic-ferritic stainless steels are commonly known as duplex stainless steels. The term duplex stainless steel is used in this document.

NOTE 2 - Information on the durability of stainless steels is given in Annex A.

NOTE 3 - The execution of stainless steel structures is covered in EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-4.

Assumptions

1) Unless specifically stated, EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3, EN 1993-1-5 and EN 1993-1-8 apply.

2) The design methods given in EN 1993-1-4 are applicable if:

• - the execution quality is as specified in EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-4, and
• - the constructio
