NSAI Webinar

2^nd  Generation Eurocode Webinar Series

NSAI, with support from Engineers Ireland, is launching a new webinar series on the upcoming 2^nd  Generation Eurocodes. Building on the foundation of the 1^st  Generation Eurocodes, this new suite represents a significant evolution in the European structural design framework. The 2^nd  Generation Eurocodes will support developments within the construction industry and reflect the needs of construction at a national level through Ireland’s National Annexes.

This webinar series will outline the main changes introduced across the 2^nd  Generation Eurocodes and highlight the timeline of their implementation in Ireland.

The webinar series will cover the following topics:

• EN 1990 – Basis of structural and geotechnical design

• EN 1991 – Actions on structures

• EN 1992 - Design of concrete structures

• EN 1993 – Design of steel structures

• EN 1996 - Design of masonry structure

• EN 1997 – Geotechnical Design
   

This series is aimed at those working within the construction industry, including stakeholders, academia, and construction professionals – and is free for all to attend.

Webinar 2 – May 27^th

The second webinar in the series will take place on Wednesday, May 27^th . Attendees will hear from Jim Mansfield, the Chair of NSAI Committee “Eurocodes Consultative Committee” (NSAI/TC 15), on the developments of the revised EN 1990, the ‘head Eurocode’, which establishes the principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability, robustness and durability of structures, including geotechnical structures.
