The structural Eurocodes are a set of standardised European design standards which provide a common apporach to structural design across the EU. They are intended to remove potential barriers to trade that exist when countries have different design standards.
The structural Eurocodes are divided into 10 areas and are made up of 58 Parts that were adopted in all EU Member States from April 2010.
Further details can be found on the Eurocodes Expert website which provides a free online information resource on the new BS structural Eurocodes and has a Users' Group to share experience and information. The website is a joint initiative between the ICE and IStructE.
