Eurocode requires additional parameters. Eurocode gives rules to determine those additional parameters in case of I, T, H, O, L and tubular cross-sections. But for a combination of these cross-sections or for a random cross-section there are not rules given. Eurocode will have to be interpreted in order to determine a meaningful value for these additional parameters. And that is a job for the end user.
