SCI P361 Steel Building Design Introduction to the Eurocodes

The design of steel framed buildings in the UK, including those where composite (steel and concrete) construction is used, has, since 1990, generally been in accordance with
the British Standard BS 5950. However, that Standard is due to be withdrawn in March 2010; it will be replaced by the corresponding Parts of the Structural Eurocodes.

The Eurocodes are a set of structural design standards, developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) over the last 30 years, to cover the design of all types of structures in steel, concrete, timber, masonry and aluminium. In the UK, they are published by BSI under the designations BS EN 1990 to BS EN 1999; each of these ten Eurocodes is published in several Parts and each Part is accompanied by a National Annex that implements the CEN document and adds certain UK-specific provisions.

SCI, BCSA and Corus* have undertaken the preparation of a series of guidance publications to assist designers in the design of steel-framed buildings in accordance with the Eurocodes and this publication is the first in that series.

This publication offers a general overview of design to the Eurocodes but does not give detailed guidance. The author of the publication is Miss M E Brettle, assisted by Mr D C Iles and Mr A L Smith, all of The Steel Construction Institute.
The preparation of this guide was funded by Tata Steel Europe*, and their support is gratefully acknowledged.
