Essential Eurocode and Eurocode 1 for Building designers
- Eurocodes are essential for building designers to design structures.
- Delegates will learn limit state principles and determine design loads.
- Understanding design approach, actions, and Eurocode relations.
- Course prepares engineers to use material Eurocodes effectively.
- Intended for structural engineers designing building structures.
Overview
The Eurocode 1 Training course aims to provide an understanding of Eurocode (EC0) and Eurocode 1 (EC1) for building designers. By explaining the basics of EC0 and EC1, participants will learn to determine design loads and actions on buildings. The course covers topics such as the design approach of the Eurocodes, establishing actions on a building, and the relationship between Eurocodes and other European Standards. Intended for structural engineers, this 1-day course equips delegates with the knowledge to apply the material Eurocodes effectively.

Course Content
Introduction
The Eurocodes are now the British Standards for the design of structures. An understanding of Eurocode (EC0) and Eurocode 1 (EC1) is essential for building designers to be able to design using the material Eurocodes (EC2 to EC6). This course will explain the basics of EC0 and EC1, enabling designers to determine the design loads and actions on a building.
Aims & Objectives
On completion of this course delegates will know the limit state principles of the Eurocodes and how to determine self-weight, imposed, wind, snow actions on a building through the use of lectures
After this course delegates will:
Understand the design approach of the Eurocodes
Understand of the Eurocodes relate to each other and other European Standards
Know how to determine combinations of actions
Now how to establish the actions on a building due to
o Self-weight
o Imposed loads
o Snow
o Wind
Be ready to use the material Eurocodes
