Eurocodes are one of the most advanced suite of structural codes in the world. They embody the collective experience and knowledge of whole of Europe. They are born out of an ambitious programme initiated by the European Union. With a wealth of code writing experience in Europe, it was possible to approach the task in a rational and logical manner. Eurocodes reflect the results of research in material technology and structural behaviour in the last fifty years and they incorporate all modern trends in structural design.
The aim of these codes is to lead to a common understanding of the design principles of concrete structures for owners operators and users, design engineers, contractors and the manufacturers of concrete products.
Like many current national codes in Europe, Eurocode 2 (EC 2) for concrete structures draws heavily on the CEB Model Code. It offers tools for the design of economic and innovative concrete structures.
