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.

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.

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.
