What are Eurocodes?

The EN Eurocodes are a series of 10 European Standards, EN 1990 - EN 1999, providing a common approach for the design of buildings and other civil engineering works and construction products:

  • Actions on structures - BS EN 1991 (10 parts)
  • Basis of structural and geotechnical design - BS EN 1990 (1 part)
  • Design of aluminium structures - BS EN 1999 (5 parts)
  • Design of composite structures - BS EN 1994 (3 parts)
  • Design of concrete structures - BS EN 1992 (4 parts)
  • Design of steel structures - BS EN 1993 (20 parts)
  • Design of structures for earthquake resistance - BS EN 1998 (6 parts)
  • Design of timber structures - BS EN 1995 (3 parts)
  • Design of timber masonry structures - BS EN 1996 (4 parts)
