Two days course on bridge loading and concrete bridge design to Eurocodes. Jurutera Online: Additional Reports. (2016)
Abstract
Eurocodes are a set of harmonized technical rules developed by the European Committee for Standardisation of structural design for construction works. He also explained the relationship between Eurocodes and National Annex. According to Nigel, Eurocodes is not fully adopted in UK yet.
Some of the countries have started using Eurocodes such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, etc. Nigel also highlighted the Basis of Design and Principles of Limit State Design. He compared the design working life in both Eurocodes and National Annex. He discussed on Principles of Limit State Design which include Ultimate Limit States (ULS) and Serviceability Limit States (SLS). He said ULS shall be verified if the failure is caused by excessive deformation, rupture, fatigue, etc whereas SLS shall be verified based on the deformation that affects the appearance, vibrations which cause discomfort, etc.
