Eurocodes: Further development

Basic Requirements for Construction Works(BWRs)

• BWR1 - MECHANICAL RESISTANCE AND STABILITY

EUR
ROCODES
• BWR2 - SAFETY IN CASE OF FIRE

• BWR3 - HYGIENE, HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT

• BWR4 – SAFETY IN USE

• BWR5 – PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE

• BWR6 – ENERGY ECONOMY AND HEAT RETENTION

• BWR7 – SUSTAINABLE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Goal:
“A set of Interoperable European Standards addressing all BWRs”

Next generation of the Eurocodes

EC’s New Mandate to CEN (2010) Contents

1. New Eurocodes or Eurocode p parts
• Assess existing buildings
• Structural glass
• Fibre Reinforced Polymers
• Membrane Structures
• Robustness

2. Development Existing Eurocodes

• Harmonization – Reduce NDPs
• Innovation/Design Methods/Calculation
• Sustainability/Structural Design
• Incorporate ISO standards
• Simplification of rules
Seismic Design of Buildings, Lisbon, Portugal, 10-11 February 2011 12

Eurocodes: Further development

• Extend European Standards for Construction to cover all six

Essential Requirements and Sustainability

• “Head-Standards” for all BWRs

For each Basic Works Requirement:

 Basic
B i principles
i i l
 Performance assessment methodology
 Minimum performance requirements
 Performance classes
