Summary

The aim of this paper is the description of a user friendly design tool to aid in the preliminary design of mutli-storey steel columns using Eurocode 3. The design tool was developed using the Microsoft Excel software, and the primary objective is for the design tool to be utilised in a competitive industrial environment to reduce engineering man-hours during early design stages. It is envisaged that the design tool will be user friendly requiring limited engineering knowledge of the structural design process for multi-storey steel columns, and that it will reduce the time required in early design stages allowing increased efficiency during tendering. The design tool will be validated using design examples from relevant academic sources such as the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and design books. The efficiency and practicality of the design tool is evaluated using a feedback questionnaire distributed to practicing design engineers.
