This manual is based on Eurocode 4, part 1.1 chapters 7, 10 and Annex E which deals with composite construction, as well as Eurocode 3, part 1.3 which considers the design of profiled steel sheeting. It also contains complementary information on certain aspects of composite construction not covered in the Eurocodes.
