NSAI Webinar

2^nd  Generation Eurocode Webinar Series

NSAI, with support from Engineers Ireland, continues its 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.
