Eurocodes Guide for Engineers

The document discusses the Eurocodes, which are European standards for structural design. It notes that there are 10 Eurocodes covering topics like actions on structures, design of concrete/steel/composite structures, timber structures, masonry structures, geotechnical design, and earthquake resistance. Each Eurocode has multiple parts that cover specific aspects of the topic. In total there are 58 parts distributed across the 10 Eurocodes. The parts cover things like design of buildings, bridges, fire design, and other specific structural elements and situations.

Each of the codes (except EN 1990) is divided into a number of Parts covering specific
aspects of the subject. In total there are 58 EN Eurocode parts distributed in the ten
Eurocodes (EN 1990 – 1999).

All of the EN Eurocodes relating to materials have a Part 1-1 which covers the design of
buildings and other civil engineering structures and a Part 1-2 for fire design. The
codes for concrete, steel, composite steel and concrete, and timber structures and
earthquake resistance have a Part 2 covering design of bridges. These Parts 2 should
be used in combination with the appropriate general Parts (Parts 1).
