History

This document is considered to be a first generation Eurocode and is the applicable standard for building and civil engineering works constructed in the UK. A period now exists to prepare for the transition between first and second generation Eurocodes. First generation Eurocodes will be withdrawn by BSI on 30 March 2028 and will be replaced by second generation Eurocodes. This standard gives alternative procedures, values and recommendations with notes indicating where national choices may have to be made. Therefore the National Standard implementing EN 1993-1-12 should have a National annex containing all Nationally Determined Parameters to be used for the design of steel structures to be constructed in the relevant country. Amendment dated 30 April 2010 - Implementation of CEN corrigendum April 2009.
