Do you or you company undertake structural design to Eurocodes?

[Simple Structures]

Design Codes:

I am interested in hearing if structural engineers in Pakistan are undertaking design to European Eurocodes? Or is it all to the American Codes? The Pakistan Building code is not much use. (If you or your company are a Eurocodes design expert, then refer to my profile for contact details).

I work overseas and see (and have used) many Structural Engineers and Consulting Companies in India who are proficient in producing design deliverable (GA drawings, detail drawings, analysis, calculations etc) to Eurocodes. They undertake designs for all European countries from India. Great for the company and the country.

You can download guides for these codes free online. I would suggest you study Eurocode 1, Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3 as a minimum to begin with. This will help guide you to design buildings safely, and give you lots of good background information. Each European Country, including Turkey and other countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong use Eurocodes for design. Great for you professional development.

Also, Each country have their own National Annexe (specific parameters to the country) to go with these codes. I suggest in Pakistan you use either refer to Turkish or Malaysian National Annexes.

Below are the codes (Eurocodes) I am referring to:

Hope the list below is useful reference.
