BS 8110 and all old structural design British Standards have now
been withdrawn. There will be a period of co-existence between
our current codes and the Eurocodes.
DCLG letter: Building Control will continue to consider the
appropriate use of relevant standards on a case by case
basis.. [The traditional] British Standards may not necessarily
be suitable .. in the medium and long term.
DCLG 2012 Consultation document Eurocodes only in AD A by
2013?
Insurers? Large projects? International projects?
Scottish Technical Handbook: The structural design and
construction of a building should be carried out in
accordance with the following Structural Eurocodes.

3 Implementation
Unless otherwise agreed with HA Project Sponsors/Project
Managers and the Technical Approval Authority (TAA),
Eurocodes must be used for the design of new and
modification of existing highway structures (including
geotechnical works), . . . .
8
Most of Europe using the same basic design codes:
Increased market for UK consultants
Increased market for UK manufacturers
Reduced costs when working in several European
markets
Greater transferability of highly skilled staff
Greater understanding of research, proprietary products
etc.
Reduce software development costs
Technically advanced codes
Logical, organised to avoid conflicts between codes

EN 1990 provides comprehensive information and guidance

safety and serviceability.
It gives the safety factors for actions and combinations of
action for the verification of both ultimate and

Published 27 July 2002
Says that structures are to be designed, executed
and maintained so that, with appropriate forms of
reliability, they will:
Perform adequately under all expected actions
Withstand all actions and other influences likely
to occur during construction and use
Have adequate durability in relation to the cost
Not be damaged disproportionately by
exceptional hazards

Eurocode 2: Context
34
Code deals with phenomenon, rather than element types so
Bending, Shear, Torsion, Punching, Crack control, Deflection
control (not beams, slabs, columns)
Design is based on characteristic cylinder strength
No derived formulae (e.g. only the details of the stress block is
given, not the flexural design formulae)
No tips (e.g. concentrated loads, column loads, )
Unit of stress in MPa
Plain or mild steel not covered
Notional horizontal loads considered in addition to lateral loads
High strength, up to C90/105 covered
No materials and workmanship

Eurocode 2 & the UK
what does it mean?
A paper by Moss and Webster (BS8110 vs EC2, TSE 16/03/04)
concluded:
big impact
learning curve
not wildly different from BS8110 in terms of the design approach.
similar answers
marginally more economic.
less prescriptive and more extensive than BS8110
gives designers the opportunity to derive benefit from the
considerable advances in concrete technology over recent years
believe that after an initial acclimatisation period, EC2 will be
generally regarded as a very good code.
