Eurocode 5 - A halftime summary of the revision process

This document provides an introduction to the review process of Eurocode 5, the structure of the work and the committee and the targets of the revision progress. In addition, a short excursus is given on ‘Ease-of-Use’ and legitimate ‘National Determined Parameters’ (NDP). It gives the frame and introduction for the other presentations in the mini-symposium MS4-04. This paper and the complete mini-symposium will provide colleagues from abroad and Europeans not familiar with standardisation with a clear overview of structures, targets and processes and should be a starting point for further coordination and cooperation with engineers and standard writers all over the world.     «
