Foreword

With the publication of all 58 Eurocodes Parts in 2007 a major milestone in the European standardisation for

construction has been achieved. Now the Eurocodes are in the key stage of national implementation by the

Member States, which will be achieved already in 2010.

The Eurocodes are built on best European practice, expertise and research achievements. They provide for

highest technical quality of construction design. Furthermore, the Eurocodes will create job opportunities by

giving engineers, contractors, designers and product manufacturers the freedom to provide services in any

Member State throughout Europe. The competition in cross-border provision of construction products and

services will contribute to lower costs, raising quality and favouring technological innovation.

To achieve maximum benefit from the opportunities provided by the Eurocodes, the National Authorities,

National Standardisation Bodies, Technical and Scientific Organisations and the Construction Industry must

be ready to use them. For this purpose, technical training, continuing professional development and

university courses should be arranged and encouraged at national and international level. According to

Annex A of Guidance Paper L, training of staff is the responsibility of Industry, in cooperation with National

Authorities and National Standardisation Bodies.

Three levels of training will be needed depending on the audience, as follows:

o Level 1 – the policy of Eurocodes implementation, National Annexes, co-existence with National Codes,

the Eurocodes system, etc., aimed at National authorities, National Standardisation Bodies and senior

personnel in companies.

o Level 2 – introductory courses for each individual Eurocode.

o Level 3 – comprehensive courses with design examples of a number of typical structures using a

particular package of Eurocodes.

In order to contribute towards consistency in the implementation and use of the Eurocodes in the Member

States and to facilitate training and awareness campaigns, the European Commission is supporting the

elaboration and publication of information, training and background material on the Eurocodes. The website

“Eurocodes: Building the future” (http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu) serves as a platform for the collection,

exchange and dissemination of training and promotional material and information.

The Workshop “Eurocodes: Background and applications” marks the achievement of a key milestone in the

European standardisation for construction: all Eurocodes parts being published by CEN and ready for

implementation and use in the Member States. It is also a major European training event on the Eurocodes.

The event is organized by the European Commission with the support of CEN and Member States. It aims to

1


transfer knowledge and state-of-the-art training material and information from the Eurocodes writers to

representatives of key institutions, Industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes

in Member States.

We are pleased to welcome the more than 300 national delegates and we hope this Workshop will enhance

the training potential within the Member States and will stimulate consistent and timely application of the

Eurocodes.

Workshop information

Objectives

This workshop intends to contribute towards the transfer of background knowledge and expertise of

Eurocodes writers (CEN/TC250 Sub-Committees and Project teams) to potential trainers on national level. It

consists essentially of introductory courses to each individual Eurocode.

The principal objectives of the event are:

o Transfer of knowledge and information to representatives of key organisations/institutions, industry and

technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes in Member States;

o Enhancing the training potential of the Member States by provision of state-of-the-art training material

and background information;

o Contribution to consistent and timely implementation of the Eurocodes;

o Facilitating exchange of views, networking and cooperation.

General programme

The Workshop programme includes common sessions on 18 February and five parallel sessions on 19 and

20 February.

The session in the morning of 18 February is jointly organised by the European Commission, CEN and

CEN/TC250 experts, representatives of National Authorities, National Standardisation Bodies and industry. It

will cover the major issues and priorities related to implementation, use and further development of the

Eurocodes. The session also includes presentations on related EU legislation, national implementation

modalities and use, and future challenges. The common afternoon session will be dedicated to EN 1990:

Basis of structural design.

The lectures on 19 and 20 February are intended for smaller groups and will focus on individual Eurocodes

in a comprehensive manner. They will be organised by the CEN/TC250 Sub-Committees and the Horizontal

Group on fire design. It is foreseen that each of the sessions on EN 1991 – EN 1999 and on fire design is

attended by approximately 70 people (average of two representatives per country).

In addition to the common sessions on 18 February, each participant will have the possibility to follow two

different sessions: one on 19 and another on 20 February. An average of two participants per country will be

allowed for each session on 19 and 20 February.

Participants

Any individual professional interested in training on the Eurocodes may apply. However, maximum ten

participants from each country will have the possibility to participate. This number of participants will allow

working in manageable groups during the two days (19 and 20 February) of specialised lectures on individual

Eurocodes.

Priority will be given to participants recommended by National Authorities and/or National Standardisation

Bodies.

Participants can come from EU Member States, EFTA Member States and EU Candidate Countries.

Attendance fees

No registration/attendance fees are requested from the participants. They are responsible for their own

travel, accommodation and subsistence costs, which will not be reimbursed by the European Commission.

The participants should find financial support from their National Administration, industry or from other

sponsoring sources.

The participants should take care of their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

Workshop material

A “training package” consisting of the slide presentations and the technical papers on the lectures plus all

other relevant material will be distributed to the participants. All this material will be subsequently made

available on the “Eurocodes: Building the future” website (http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu).

Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 1

EUROCODESBackground and Applications The Eurocodes Program

Jean-Armand CalgaroChairman of CEN/TC250



A set of technically advanced standards for the design of construction works, for checking the mechanical resistance of components and for checking the stability of structures.

The Eurocodes Program



The Eurocodes are not easy to understand withoutspecific education. Inthe past, peoplethought that theexperts of CEN/TC250were curious people.Now everybody understands that the personalappropriation of the Eurocodes is a matterof education and technical culture.

The Eurocodes Program Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 4



Finally, the Eurocodes were converted into EN standards rather quickly, and their implementationnot only in the various EU Member States, but also outside the EU is accelerating.

EUROCODESBackground and Applications The Eurocodes

ProgramTwo major axes of the future action of CEN/TC250 will be :

• Promotion andeducation, and

• Further developments

2




We hope that after this workshop you will be even more convinced of the interest of the Eurocodes for the European industry, and that new promoting actions on more specialised aspects will be organised as soon as possible. Background documentation is being developed, which is essential for the dissemination of the Eurocodes.

Workshop: Background and ApplicationBrussels, February 18th, 2008


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Sustainability and Innovation

1. Sustainability – Standardisation and Research2. Maintenance of Eurocodes3. New Programme for CEN/TC250 – Works4. Assessment of existing bridges5. Structural design of glass components6. Structural design of FRP-components


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Definition sustainability

“Capacity to use the natural resources of the present without compromising their use by

future generations”


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Political strategies and decisions

“Lisbon” related to “competitiveness”, and resulting in requirements for e.g. the Internal Market, research and innovation.

“Kyoto” related to “sustainable development”, e.g. energy efficiency research and innovation.

“Moscow” related to “security of supply”, e.g. international dialogue, stock management, research and innovation.


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Energy consumption

Building sector at present responsible for more than 40% of EU energy consumption

Requirement:

- reduction of energy demand

- intelligent use of renewable energies

to reduce CO2 emission and EU energy dependence.


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Integrated design

Integrated design to meet all six Essential Requirements of the CPD:

1. Mechanical resistance and stability

2. Safety in case of fire

3. Hygiene, health and the environment

4. Safety in use

5. Protection against noise

6. Energy economy and heat retension


EUROCODESBackground and Applications European standard family

1. Concerted actions to develop a European Standard Family addressing all six Essential Requirements as a tool for structural optimisation

2. To extend the rules of new buildings and constructions to the existing stock of buildings and construction works

Working Plan for further evolution of Eurocodes


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Further maintanance

• Works for corrections in the Eurocodes as published under mandates for the conversion of ENV´s to EN´s

• Works for further improvement of the Eurocodesunder new mandates from the Commission:

- reduction of volume- improved formulations (clear rules)- improved design rules (less complexity)- supplementary design rules (filling gaps)

Further maintenance:


EUROCODESBackground and Applications Consistency

• Traditional field of hEN´s for construction products, prefabricated components and execution (Guidance Paper L)related to ER 1 (mechanical resistance and stability)

ER 2 (resistance to fire) partially ER 4 (safety in use)

• New field for design methods, construction products, prefabricated components and execution related to ER 3 (hygiene, health, environment)partially ER 4 (safety in use)

ER 5 (protection against noise)ER 6 (energy economy and heat retension)

Consistency of Eurocodes and EN-Standards:


EUROCODESBackground and Applications New approach

1. Preparatory pre-normative technical works: by WG´s with JRC technical guidances representing

Background and ApplicationsEUROCODES

P. Bar

Eurocodes

Eurocodes and structural construction products



P. Bar

CPD obligation

The real obligation resulting from the CPD for manufacturers is :• To assess and then declare the performance of the construction

product

• For pre-determined (mandated) characteristics (ER 1 to 6)

• Using the ‘technical European vocabulary” included in hENs- Assessment methods

- Technical definitions of characteristics



P. Bar

Principle

• For « structural products » (products playing a structural role in a structure, e.g. precastconcrete products, structural timber products, structural steel components),

• the performances linked to mechanical resistance (ER1) and safety in case of fire (ER2) may be assessed by calculation (instead of test)



P. Bar

Principle

• A calculation method can be used as « assessment

methods » to determine the performance of the product

(ER1, ER2)– When a « non destructive method » is needed

– When calculation is cheaper than test

– When modelisation is sufficiently confirmed by comparison with

experience and tests



P. Bar

Guidance Paper L

• Guidance Paper L: detailed recommendation on how to assess and declare performances regarding mechanical strength (ER1), Stability in case of fire (ER2) and safety in use (ER4) in CE marking



P. Bar

• Clause 1.3.1: Eurocodes should be referred to in hENsand ATEs:– For products with properties entering into structural calculations

of works (ER1 and 2). For them, the assessment methods should be consistent with the assumptions and provisions made in Eurocodes

– For products with properties which can be directly determined according to the Eurocodes. Here, Eurocodes constitute the method to assess the « declared value » given in CE marking for structural products

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

For these products, • CE marking shall provide all the information necessary to use the

product concerned in works or integrate the product characteristics into the structural design of works

• three methods are defined, to provide the information which need to be declared as accompanying information with the CE marking:

- Method 1: geometrical data of the components and of properties of the materials and constituent products

- Method 2: calculated characteristic values or design values- Method 3: reference to design documents of the work or client’s orders (the designer

of construction work)

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• Method 1: Declared values are only geometrical data of the component and performances of materials and constituent products necessary to perform calculation. – The calculation is done in the context of the design of work and

not in the CE marking of the product (Guidance Paper L, clause 3.3.2)

– This method can be used for off-the-shelf products, or products designed according to a standard but adjusted to meet a client ’s particular need .

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• Method 2. Declared values:– « characteristic values » independent from NDPs,

or

– « design values » calculated using NDPs in force where the product can be used

For a product intended to be sold in various countries, CE marking will provide the various design values calculated using the various sets of NDPs applicable in the possible country of destination

CE marking will provide the design(s) value(s) and the NDPs used to perform calculation(s)

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• Based on method 2, the information provided in CE marking can be

• Usable as input for calculations according to Eurocodes (characteristic value), but the design value is then calculated by the designer of the work, using the NDPs valid in the place where the work is done,

• Directly usable as design value if it the determination of the design value incorporate the used of NDPs applicable in the country of destination. The choice of the relevant NDP entitle to take into account National climatic, geographical specificity or traditions or quality level set up by a Member State

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• Method 2 may be used for– of-the-shelf products

– « standard » made to measure products: products designed according to a standard, but adjusted to meet a client’s particular need

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• Method 3 : reference to drawings and documents provided by the client– this method is used for real made to measure

products, made in response to a design ordered by another party

– mechanical resistance and fire resistance aspects are under the responsibility of the designer

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

• hEN(s) of structural products and kits shall provide for one or several or all of the 3 methods to determine the properties to be declared as information accompanying CE marking

• The choice of the relevant method is done by the manufacturer, under his responsibility, amongst the methods provided for in the product hEN

Guidance Paper L



P. Bar

Products hENs

• The hEN(s) of structural products and kits shall include in their Annex ZA all the provisions necessary to assess the performance of the product, for mandated characteristics, which will be declared in the CE marking

• requirements concerning the use Eurocodes to assess the declared values

• conditions or informative notes or informative annex which allow/help manufacturers to choose method 1, method 2 or method 3

• may include informative annex giving information on regulations existing in specific countries



P. Bar

• CE marking shall provide all the information necessary to use the product concerned in works or integrate the product characteristics into the structural design of works

• The design and the manufacture of the product have to comply with the relevant technical provisions developed in product hEN (including Factory Production Control and Initial Type Testing)

Products hENs



P. Bar

• When product hEN requires that mechanical strength to be assessed using Eurocodes, – Eurocode takes the same status than a test method

and becomes a harmonised supporting standard– The use of Eurocodes as assessment method of the

performance of the product is compulsory, (even in countries where Eurocodes would not be the single accepted method for the design of construction works)

– Products that have declared value determined according to Eurocodes must be allowed to be placed on the market and used for the purpose they are intended, in all Members States

Products hENs



P. Bar

• In other terms, if a structural product hEN requires to use Eurocodes to assess mechanical strength of the product,– It becomes compulsory to be used by all manufacturers

everywhere in Europe to assess and to declare the performance of the products concerning mechanical resistance in the information accompanying CED marking

– This assessment shall be recognised and accepted by MSs as relevant,

– No additional test on the assessment of this performance can be required to place a product on the market at national / locallevel (including in countries where another design method of construction work is accepted)

Products hENs



P. Bar

A consistent system

… become input data for the calculation made for the design of a construction work or to determine the dimensions of constitutiveelements, using Eurocodes

The performances of the products relating to mechanical strength (including in case of fire) which are declared in the CE marking for structural products (and which possibly were assessed by calculation using Eurocodes) …



P. Bar

• Design of structures: – Calculation methods (formulas, with variables

and parameters) included in the various Eurocodes

– NDPs defining actions, – NDPs correcting performance of the products

A consistent system



P. Bar

• If the basis to assess the performance of a structural product in CE marking is not complying with the national regulation (or the specific wishes of a designer or the conditions met in a specific structure by a structural construction product) –e.g. statistical conditions to define the performance are not the same,

• Then the national regulation (or the designer) may correct the value of the mechanical strength adjusting this value by the use of partial factors when the performance of the product given in the CE marking Is introduced as input for the calculation

A consistent system



P. Bar

• Therefore, the performance value of mechanical strength provided in CE marking may becorrected by Partial factor at the moment the calculation is done for the design of the construction works, using Eurocodes

• Evidently, the “usual” (best) situation should be to have information provided in CE marking consistent and directly usable in Eurocodes calculations

A consistent system



P. Bar

The revised CPR

• It would not introduce substantial changes• Members States will have to decide if the use of

Eurocodes to design construction works is authorised, or recommended, or compulsory

• When a regulation will force to use Eurocodes, it will become compulsory to declare the relevant performances characteristics in CE marking

18 February 2008 EUROCODES WORKSHOP 2

EUROCODES IN SPAIN

• Spanish regulatory scenario– In Spanish national codes/regulations the relevant

administration asssumes the responsibilty of the safe, reliable and durable behaviour of the structure

– National codes/regulations allow the use of othercodes, as long as the levels of safety, reliability anddurability are equivalent.

– Designer may use Eurocodes in Spain but, as long as there is no national annex, levels of safety, reliability anddurability have to be made equivalent to relevantnational code by means of designers personal choice ofopen parameters.


EUROCODES IN SPAIN

• Challenges:– Elaboration of National Annexes : requires…

– Knowledge of relevant national codes– Calibration of Eurocode EN (with NA) vs relevant national code– Verification of horizontal consistency

– Translation of Eurocode ENs : requires…– Accuracy and knowledge of technical jargon– Verification of consistency in terminology

– Liability issue: raised by…– Juridical implications of publication of NAs

– Existance of consolidated national codes: represents…– Facing changes in traditional ways (practice, liability, teaching,...)

Strategies for Further Harmonization (Reduction of NDPs, …)Set-up and coordination of scientific networks for new materials (FRPs, Glass)Pre-normative research needs (Earthquake, Fire, …)

Further Harmonization and Further Development

Recent investigation and justification of the needs for increased fire protection (National implementation, further research and standardisation needs)



1. Why?• Need for a global view of Promotion and Training issues:

Consistency, Help New-Accession-Candidate Countries, Outside of EU, …

• Agreed work-programme (Resulting from discussion with all Partners)

2. Promotion and Training – Topics– Awareness (What, Why, opportunities, challenges, ...)– Implementation (Legal and Administrative issues)– Training and continuing professional development (Member

States, and Commission (for General training/promotion events)

– Promotion material, tools and events– Promotion Agents (who does what and why?)

Future Activities: MoU between DG ENTR – JRC, 2008-2011 Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 14


Current and future needs (1)– National implementation for most Eurocodes

parts is expected in 2010: need of maintenance of the Eurocodes e-tools during the current key transition phase of Eurocodes implementation.

• Maintenance of IT Tolls and Users support • Analysis of NDPs• Harmonization strategies (priorities, projects, …)• Populate Background Documents Database• Dissemination/Promotion

2008-2011: MoU

DG ENTR – JRC



Current and future needs (2)Need to examine the feasibility of evolution of

the Eurocodes to additional fields of design aiming at :

1. consistent approach to tackle the different dimensions of the sustainable development in construction

2. to cover all six Essential Requirements of CPD3. to respond to the recent and foreseeable market

developments

“Lead market” vision – to provide a new and wider family of standards in a field where no

competitor exists so far



Approach:

• Involve all Relevant Partners, Stakeholders and Authorities– IPSC and other JRC institutes: Environment and Health– DG ENTR and other relevant Commission DGs– Member States (ENC, …)– CEN/TC250 and other relevant TCs– Industry and research organizations (e.g. European

Technology Platforms)

• Strategic plan and road map



Credits

CEN/TC250 for the fruitful cooperation in the implementation, harmonization and further development of the Eurocodes, including organization of the technical sessions in this event;ENC Group for the collaboration and support to the JRC activities on the Eurocodes;Experts from the European Research Institutions and Industry for the invaluable contribution to the output of the Eurocodes networks on new materials, seismic and fire safety, etc…
