Highlights
The Eurocodes are a new set of European structural design codes for building and civil engineering works. Conceived and developed over the past 40 years with the combined expertise of the member states of the European Union, they are arguably the most advanced structural codes in the world. The Eurocodes are intended to be mandatory for European public works and likely to become the de-facto standard for the private sector – both in Europe and world-wide. The structural Eurocodes had been available as European pre-standards (ENVs) for several years, and all of them had been published as full European Standards (ENs) in 2007.
Owing to the withdrawal of various British structural design standards in March 2010, the Works Department of the Government of Hong Kong SAR have been migrating to Eurocodes in stages for the design of public works civil engineering structures while mandatory adoption of Eurocodes will commence in 2015. Moreover, as many countries, in particular, Asian countries, have already adopted the structural Eurocodes for design and construction of building structures, there is a growing need for design and construction engineers in Hong Kong to acquire the new skills.
This Technical Seminar aims to promote effective design of steel structures to Eurocode 3 with special emphasis on practical application, and the presentations are delivered by:
- Dr T M Chan The University of Warwick, the U.K.
- Ir Dr Gary S K Chou Chun Wo Construction & Engineering Co.Ltd
- Ir Prof K F Chung Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
- Dr Paul H F Lam Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, The City University Hong Kong
- Ir Alan H N Yau AECOM, Building Engineering, Hong Kong SAR
