[en] This paper details new design rules for semi-compact sections that are capable of capturing their characteristic elastic-plastic behavior. The formulae have been validated against experimental test results and hundreds of FEM-shell numerical results, on both H<shaped and hollow sections. They offer full continuities between cross-section classes and with all other design formulae of the code, for both sections and members.
