Eurocodes are the result of joint effort of pan-European standardisation committees on establishing a common base for design and construction of structures. This framework is mandatory for all public works carried out in whole European Union since March 2010.
These eurocodes will eventually replace all national standards that existed up to date and covered similar topics. However each country is supposed to create so called National Ammendments (NA), that will implement country-specific differences. These NAs shall come in both national language and English.
Eurocode set consist of 10 standards, each covering one distinct topic. Following table sums the standard number, respective eurocode number and topic, that is covered.
