Stability verification of hydraulic steel structures

An overview and assessment for buckling verification of plate- and shell-like elements in hydraulic steel structures is given with regard to current standards DIN 19704-1, EN 1993-1-5, EN 1993-1-6, and EN 1993-1-7. Background information is included for verification procedures that require some explanations either due to gaps or fragmentation in several EN parts. A general way forward for the future framework with regard to buckling verification of hydraulic steel structures is proposed based on the findings herein
