In December 2014, the European committee responsible for Eurocodes, CEN/TC 250, received confirmation the European Union will provide a fund of around €4.5 million to improve ease of use of the Eurocodes, to eliminate many of the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) and to further develop their scope, e.g. to include structural glass design, assessment and retrofitting of existing structures and other new areas. The first phase of work will be undertaken by project teams and there will be an open call for nominations of experts to these teams. It is a chance to have an influence on the development of the design standards. There will be opportunities to share your expertise as well as work with some of Europe's leading engineers to deliver a safer, more usable and more efficient suite of Eurocodes. If you are interested in applying to be a member of a project team, please contact info@nsai.ie.
