Structural Design Eurocodes

The Eurocodes are seen as leading the way in structural codes. Their flexibility enables
adoption and use not only within Europe, but internationally. This feature has been
recognized by several countries outside Europe and they are already committed to
adopting Eurocodes.
The primary objectives of the Eurocodes are to:
• Provide common design criteria and methods of meeting necessary requirements for mechanical resistance,
stability and resistance to fire, including aspects of durability and economy
• Provide a common understanding regarding the design of structures between owners, operators and users,
designers, contractors and manufacturers of construction products
• Facilitate the marketing and use of structural components and kits in EU Members States
• Facilitate the marketing and use of materials and constituent products, the properties of which enter
into design calculations
• Be a common basis for research and development, in the construction industry
• Allow the preparation of common design aids and software
• Increase the competitiveness of the European civil engineering firms, contractors, designers and
product manufacturers in their global activities
Contents
The Eurocodes comprehensively cover all principal construction materials. They are structured

Eurocode Series
Basis of structural design
Eurocode. Basis of structural design is the lead document in the Eurocode suite. It describes the principles and
requirements for safety, serviceability and durability. It also provides the basis and general principles for the structural
design and verification of buildings and civil engineering works (including geotechnical aspects). It is the first operational
'material-independent' design code.
BS EN 1990:2002 should be used in conjunction with all the other Eurocodes (BS EN 1991 to BS EN 1999) for design.

Eurocode 1 Series Actions on structures

Eurocode 1 Actions on structures provides comprehensive information on all actions that should normally be
considered in the design of buildings and civil engineering works. It is in four main parts. The first part is divided into
seven sub-parts which cover densities, self-weight and imposed loads; actions due to fire; snow; wind; thermal actions;
loads during execution and accidental actions. The remaining three parts cover traffic loads on bridges, actions by
cranes and machinery and actions in silos and tanks.
The following National codes are affected and will be withdrawn by March 2010:
• BS 6399-1:1996 Loading for buildings. Code of practice for dead and imposed loads
• BS 6399-2:1997 Loading for buildings. Code of practice for wind loads
• BS 6399-3:1988 Loading for buildings. Code of practice for imposed roof loads
• BS 5400-1:1988 Steel, concrete and composite bridges. General statement
• BS 5400-2:2006 Steel, concrete and composite bridges. Specification for loads

Eurocode 3 Series
The scope of BS EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of streel structures is wider than most of the other design Eurocodes due to
the diversity of steel structures, the need to cover both bolted and welded joints, and the possible slenderness of construction.
The real differences when compared to existing British standards lie in bringing new methods into the scope. For
example, the design of semi-rigid joints in buildings is explained, and more advanced methods of design for cold-formed
steelwork are included. The rules for shell and for the design of piles, sheet piling and silos are new, and rules for
stainless steel appear for the first time.
