EN 1993-2, also known as the Eurocode 3 for steel bridges, describes the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of concrete bridges. This designers' guide provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of EN 1993-2 and also the relevant provisions in EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-5, EN 1993-1-8, EN 1993-1-9, EN 1993-1-10 and EN 1993-1-11. Worked examples are provided to illustrate the use of the rules. It also explains the relationship with other Eurocode parts to which it refers (ENs 1990, 1991). The provision of background information and references also enables the users of Eurocode 3: Part 2 to understand the origin and objectives of its provisions.

One of the key requirements for the design of buildings is the specification of the actions that structures need to carry. This volume will cover the actions that need to be taken into account for the design of buildings. The book will explain the Eurocode clauses on densities, self-weight and imposed loads; snow loads; thermal actions; actions during execution and accidental actions (including impact loads and explosions). Wind actions and actions due to fire are covered by other volumes in the series. The purpose of this handbook is to help the designer to acquire a good knowledge of the appropriate Eurocodes parts of EN 1991, which they can use in design. Background information is given for each clause and relevant worked examples are provided.

The nature of the loading must first be understood before applying the structural engineering principles set out in the Eurocodes. For this reason this book is meant as a guide to four separate documents, EN1991 Part 1.2, EN1992 Part 1.2, EN1993 Part 1.2 and EN1994 Part 1.2 with reference where appropriate to the Eurocode covering the basis of design, EC06.

This guide describes the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of concrete bridges It provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of EN 1992-2 and the relevant provisions of the general rules ofEN 1992-1-1. Worked examples are provided to illustrate the use of the rules. It also explains the relationship with the other Eurocode parts to which if refers (ENs 1990, 1991).

Eurocode 0 is considered the primary document in the Eurocode suite and establishes for the structural Eurocodes the principles and requirements for safety and serviceability of structures. More importantly, EN 1990 must be applied whenever the Eurocodes 1 to 9 are used. This new edition includes: - PSI factors for Execution (Buildings) - Additional examples on EQU, STR and GEO; and gamma gsup and gamma ginf - Coverage of British national annex - References to secondary guidance (e.g. Designer's Guide on Actions on Bridges) on EN 1990: Annex A(2) - Improved clarity of the text where necessary (plus any corrections)

This series of Designers' Guides to the Eurocodes provides comprehensive guidance in the form of design aids, indications for the most convenient design procedures and worked examples. The books also include background information to aid the designer in understanding the reasoning behind and the objectives of the codes. All of the individual guides work in conjunction with the Designers' Guide to EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design. The part of Eurocode 5 covered by this guide, EN 1995-1, addresses the common rules and rules for buildings, including structural fire design. This Designers' Guide looks specifically at timber buildings, including full explanation and commentary on the code with examples, and direction to the National Annex documents.

Eurocode 3 covers many forms of steel construction and provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date set of design guidance currently available. Throughout, this book concentrates on the most commonly encountered aspects of structural steel design, with an emphasis on the situation in buildings. Much of its content is therefore devoted to the provisions of the Part 1.1: General rules and rules for buildings of EN 1993. This is, however, supplemented by material of loading, joints and cold-formed design. For each of the principal aspects covered, the book provides background to the structural behaviour, explanation of the codified treatment, and numerous worked examples. This Guide should serve as the primary point of reference for designing steel structures to Eurocode 3.

Designers' Guide to EN 1997-1 presents a detailed guide to the new Geotechnical Design Eurocode.As such it gives an invaluable insight into a code that, for the first time, provides a comprehensive design philosophy that is not only applicable to all forms of geotechnical problems but also shares a common philosophy with the design methodology for structures of all the commonly encountered construction materials.
