Introduction
The Eurocodes is a common set of technical rules for the design of building and civil engineering works for European Union (EU) member states. Every member states will adopt and translate the base Eurocodes into their national language, e.g., for UK it would be BS EN 199X-Y-Y. Local differences within each member states will be taken care of through their respective National Annex (NA), i.e. NA to BS EN 199X.

The Eurocode suite of codes
The Structural Eurocodes consist of 10 standards in 58 parts. They are:

Eurocode Title No of parts
EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of structural design the head code
EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures 10
EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Actions on structures 4
EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures 20
EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite structures 3
EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures 3
EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures 4
EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design 2
EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design for earthquake resistance 6
EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium stuctures 5

SEARCHING FOR EUROCODES @ BSOL
Eurocodes are available at NTU Library through searching our subscribed database, British Standards Online (BSOL). The steps are:

ScreenHunter_04 Nov. 03 08.56 1. Go to Library Homepage
2. Click on “Databases”
3. You will see the Alphabetical List. Select “B” and look for “British Standards Online” (BSOL).
4. After clicking BSOL you will see the “Terms & Conditions of Use” page. For remote access, user will authenicate either as staff or student\XXXXX followed by your password.
ScreenHunter_09 Nov. 03 09.38 5. Enter the Standard Number. To search for a Eurocode, e.g. Eurocode 7, enter with inverted comma, “en 1997″ at the search box. You will receive many results if you just enter the number, 1997.
6. Three results were received for “en 1997″ Note: Eurocode 7 has 2 parts and one National Annex (NA).
7. Click “Open Document” to either open or download the document (pdf).

 BOOKS ON EUROCODES
Title: Structural elements design manual : working with Eurocodes
Author: Draycott, Trevor.
Call number: TA658.D768 2009
Availability: Click here

Synopsis:
This book is the structural engineer’s ‘companion volume’ to the four Eurocodes on the structural use of timber, concrete, masonry and steelwork. For the student at higher technician or first degree level it provides a single source of information on the behaviour and practical design of the main elements of the building structure. With plenty of worked examples and diagrams, it is a useful textbook not only for students of structural and civil engineering but also for those on courses in related subjects such as architecture, building and surveying whose studies include the design of structural elements.

Title:　 PP 1990: 2007
Extracts from the Structural Eurocodes for students of structural design
Publisher:　 British Standards Institute
Call number:　 QC100.B862 PP1990 2007

Content:
PP 1990 is a user-friendly guide which introduces the principals of Structural Eurocodes to students of civil engineering, structural engineering and structural design.�

This revised edition of PP 1990 includes updated extracts from nine of the ten published Eurocodes†. Each extract is accompanied with commentary and worked examples written by experts from industry and UK universities. This second edition also has the benefit of featuring extracts and explanatory text on the relevant published UK National Annexes which supply information on any nationally determined parameters referred to in the Eurocode text.

It is important for students to be aware of the Structural Eurocode series. The series details common design principals and rules for the design of structures and component products, and describes a common series of methods for calculating the structural strength of elements used in construction. From 2010 this set of unified international codes of practice will replace national codes in the European Community. They are already mandatory for European public works and are set to become the benchmark standard for the private sector, throughout Europe and Worldwide. [As taken from BSi webpage]

Title:　 Decoding Eurocode 7
Author:　 Bond, Andrew
Call number:　 TA705.4.E85B711
Availability:　 Click here

Synopsis:
“Decoding Eurocode 7″ provides a detailed examination of Eurocode 7 Parts 1 and 2 and an overview of the associated European and International standards. Information scattered around the Eurocodes is collected into summary tables and diagrams. Extensive, fully annotated worked examples demonstrate how to apply Eurocode 7 to practical design situations. Flow diagrams explain how reliability is introduced into design and mind maps gather related information in a coherent framework.The coverage includes: the Structural Eurocodes; Basis of structural design and general rules for geotechnical design; Ground investigation, testing, and characterization; Verification of strength, stability, and serviceability; Design of slopes and embankments, footings, gravity walls, embedded walls, piles, and anchorages; Execution of geotechnical works; and, Geotechnical reports. Written by authors who specialize in lecturing on the subject, “Decoding Eurocode 7″ explains the key Principles and Application Rules of Eurocode 7 in a logical and simple manner. Invaluable for practitioners, as well as for high-level students and researchers working in geotechnical fields, it shows how to apply the Eurocode to real designs. [As taken from Amazon.com]
