The Eurocode Standards

The Eurocodes are a series of 10 European standards (EN 1990-1999) that provide design standards for structural engineering. They cover various materials like concrete, steel, timber, masonry, aluminium and design considerations such as actions, geotechnical design, composite structures, bridges, earthquake resistance. Each Eurocode has multiple parts that cover specific aspects. In total there are 58 parts distributed across the 10 Eurocodes. Parts 1-1 cover general design rules for buildings while Part 1-2 addresses fire design. Concrete, steel, composite, timber and earthquake Eurocodes also have a Part 2 on bridge design.

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).
