Eurocodes in Europe
How are Eurocodes written and updated?
By the whole CEN Membership CEN TC 250
How are they published?
Each CEN Member publishes its national version In one of the official languages (English, French, German) or
In its own national language
Different national versions and different languagesbut common content

The Eurocode suite of codesIntegrated suite of structural design codes covering all common constructionmaterials
10 generic codes totalling some 58 parts:
EN 1990 - Basis of Structural Design (the head code)
EN 1991 - Actions on Structures (10 individual parts)
EN 1992 - Design of Concrete Structures (4 parts)
EN 1993 - Design of Steel Structures (20 parts)
EN 1994 - Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Struct (3 parts)
EN 1995 - Design of Timber Structures (3 parts)
EN 1996 - Design of Masonry Structures (4 parts)
EN 1997 - Geotechnical Design (2 parts)EN 1998 - Design Provisions for Earthquake Resistance (6 parts)

Flexibility - National Determined Parameters (NDPs)
Each part of each Eurocode has recommended values forNDPs
These can be changed for optimal values by publishing aseperate National Annex:
This allows countries to choose values to suit local conditions:
Geographical (earthquake / flooding)
Geological (foundations)
Climatic (wind / snow / rainfall / temperature)
Other Country Specific Data can be included Egypt could write its own National Annexes

What will you need to work in Europe?
The relevant Eurocode parts (Action Codes andMaterials Codes)
In any national version or any language
Plus
The National Annexes of the Country in which youare working
They will contain the NDPs of that country
Execution and testing standards with a normativereferences in the Eurocode parts

Eurocodes Benefits
Benefits for Egyptian companies wishing to work inEurope
Common set of technical rules for the design of building
and civil engineering works for Member States
Replace many different existing rules in EU
Basis for building contracts and exchange of services
between Member States
Increase competitiveness and lower costs
Support of common design aids and software
Eurocode competency opens up the European Market

The Future
Future Maintenance at European level
Greater catchment of expertise
Invite input from outside Europe
Collaborative research at centres of excellence
Shared costs with additional benefits
Move towards reduction of NDPs
Transparency of NDPs - convergence of structuralregulations?
Work towards converting to ISO standards

New Eurocodes already in the pipeline
CEN/TC 250 are considering extending the Eurocodesuite to:
Assessment of existing structures
Structural Glass
Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP)
Membrane structures
plus
Possible conversion of ISO standards on:
Atmospheric icing
Actions due to waves and currents.

Eurocodes as Egyptian national codes?
State of the Art
Flexible Can be adapted to Egyptian circumstances
Assured maintenance
Integrates local practice and skills with the wave ofthe future
Quicker and cheaper than starting again from first
principles

The wave of the future
Other countries adopting or adapting Eurocodes
Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam
South Africa (Eurocode principles being incorporated intotheir existing SANS codes)
Interest in Eurocodes 7 and 8 elsewhere in North Africa
Adoption imminent in:
Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Turkey (as a consequence ofEU membership
Strong interest in Russia, China, India andAustralasia

Harmonized European standards for construction in Egypt
The cost to Egypt Free adoption by agreement with CEN
Minimal maintenance Cost of writing Egyptian National Annexes
What does adoption mean?
Adoption as national regulation
Or
High level regulation
Implemented by reference to (EOS?) standards
We would recommend the latter, but it is your decision
