DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA

 DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS

The Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) is the national

standards and accreditation body of Malaysia.

The main function of the Department is to foster and promote standards,

standardisation and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy,
promoting industrial efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of
the public, protecting the consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and
Licensed to AURECON SINGAPORE PTE LTD / Downloaded on : 07-Mar-2016 03:30:05 PM / Single user license only, copying and networking prohibited

furthering international cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which

comprise balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with
relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest
extent possible, Malaysian Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international
standards. Approval of a standard as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the
Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian Standards are reviewed
periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are
made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-laws or
any other similar ways.

STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop,

distribute and sell the Malaysian Standards.

NA2 Nationally Determined Parameters

NA2.1 General

Decisions for the Nationally Determined Parameters decided in MS EN 1993-1-1:2010 are

given in NA2.2 to NA2.26.

NA2.2 Actions and environmental influences [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 2.3.1(1)]

There are no additional regional, climatic or accidental situations to consider.

NA2.3 Other steel material and products [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 3.1(2)]

If other steels are used, due allowance should be made for variations in properties, including
ductility and weldability. Further information on the ductility requirements for steel is given in
MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 3.2.2(1).

STANDARDS MALAYSIA 2010 - All rights reserved 1

 MS EN 1993-1-1:2010

Steel castings and forgings may be used for components in bearings, junctions and other
similar parts. Castings should conform to BS EN 10293 and forgings should conform to BS
EN 10250-2. Further guidance on steel castings is given in reference [8].

For higher strength steels see BS EN 1993-1-12.

Further information on other steel material may be found in Clause NA4.

NA2.4 Material properties [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 3.2.1(1)]

Licensed to AURECON SINGAPORE PTE LTD / Downloaded on : 07-Mar-2016 03:30:05 PM / Single user license only, copying and networking prohibited

The nominal values of the yield strength fy and the ultimate strength fu for structural steel
should be those obtained from the product standard. The ultimate strength fu should be taken
as the lowest value of the range given for Rm in the product standard. Further information on
the yield and ultimate strength for structural steel is also given in Clause NA4.

NA2.5 Ductility requirements [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 3.2.2(1)]

a) Elastic global analysis

The limiting values for the ratio fu/fy, the elongation at failure and the ultimate strain u for
elastic global analysis are given below:

fu/fy 1.10;

elongation at failure not less than 15 %; and

u 15y.

b) Plastic global analysis

Plastic global analysis should not be used for bridges. For buildings the limiting values for the
ratio fu/fy, the elongation at failure and the ultimate strain u for plastic global analysis are
given below:

fu/fy 1.15;

elongation at failure not less than 15 %; and

u 20y.

NA2.6 Fracture toughness [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 3.2.3(1)]

For buildings and other quasi-statically loaded structures the lowest service temperature in
the steel should be taken as the lowest air temperature which may be taken as 20 C.

For bridges the lowest service temperature in the steel should be determined according to the
NA to BS EN 1991-1-5 for the bridge location. For structures susceptible to fatigue it is
recommended that the requirements for bridges should be applied.

In other cases (e.g. the internal steelwork in cold stores, highland areas) the lowest service
temperature in the steel should be taken as the lowest air temperature expected to occur
within the intended design life of the structure.

For plastic analysis of clad structures provided that the stiffening effects of masonry infill wall
panels or diaphragms of profiled steel sheeting are not taken into account:

cr 10

For plastic analysis of portal frames subject to gravity loads only with frame imperfections:

cr 5

a) the span, L, does not exceed 5 times the mean height of the columns; and

b) hr satisfies the criterion:

NOTE. For a symmetrical frame this expression simplifies to hr 0.25L.

NA2.10 Structural stability of frames [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010, 5.2.2(8)]

This method should only be used for frames that comply with 5.2.2(6). In such cases the sway
moments in the beams and beam-to-column connections should be multiplied by kr, unless a
smaller value is shown to be adequate by analysis. kr may be evaluated using the following
expression provided that cr 3.0:

1
kr =

cr

NA2.11 Design values of initial local bow imperfection [MS EN 1993-1-1:2010,

The values given in Table 5.1 shall be applied.
