IABSE Conference Report - Davos 1992

The Report presents the conceptual background and the basic elements of this important standardisation work and covers the legal and technical background of the Eurocodes, as well as presenting their underlying philosophy. It outlines the principal technical contents of Eurocodes 1 to 8:

• Eurocode 1: Basis of Design and Actions on Structures
• Eurocode 2: Concrete, Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Structures
  
• Eurocode 3: Steel Structures
  
• Eurocode 4: Composite Steel and Concrete Structures
  
• Eurocode 5: Timber Structures
  
• Eurocode 6: Masonry Structures
  
• Eurocode 7: Foundations and Geotechnical Engineering
  
• Eurocode 8: Structures in Seismic Zones

This publication concentrates on basics and is useful to all those concerned with unified codes in structural engineering in Europe, as well as to those who wish to be informed on developments in the design of civil engineering structures.
