Eurocodes are a set of European standards that provide guidelines for the design and construction of buildings and civil engineering works. They cover various aspects, including structural design, geotechnical engineering, and seismic design, ensuring safety and reliability across different materials and structures. These codes aim to harmonize engineering practices across European Union member states, facilitating trade and collaboration. By following the Eurocodes, engineers can ensure that their designs meet consistent safety and performance criteria, ultimately leading to more resilient infrastructure throughout Europe.
