Introduction to Eurocode 6
The introduction of European standards to UK construction is a significant event. The ten design standards, known as the Eurocodes, will affect all design and construction activities as current British standards for design are due to be withdrawn in March 2010. This publication is part of a series of three guides entitled How to design masonry structures using Eurocode 6. The aim is to make the transition to Eurocode 6, Design of masonry structures as easy as possible by drawing together in one place key information and commentary required for the design of typical masonry elements.
Eurocode 6 - Vertical Resistance
This guide is the second in a series of three giving guidance on the design of masonry structures to Eurocode 61. The first guide, Introduction to Eurocode 62 gives an introduction to design and assessment of actions using Eurocode 6 and also covers the specification and execution (workmanship) of masonry. This guide explains how to design for vertical actions and determine vertical resistance. The third guide in the series3 covers the design of laterally loaded masonry panels. Throughout this guide the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) from the UK National Annexes (NAs) have been used. These enable Eurocode 6 to be applied in the UK.
Eurocode 6 - Lateral Resistance
This guide is the third in a series of three giving guidance on the design of masonry structures to Eurocode 6. The first guide, Introduction to Eurocode 6 gives an introduction to design and assessment of actions using Eurocode 6 and also covers the specification and workmanship of masonry. The second guide in the series covers the design of vertically loaded masonry. This guide explains how to design for horizontal actions. Throughout this guide the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) from the UK National Annexes (NAs) have been used. These enable Eurocode 6 to be applied in the UK.
How to Design Masonry Structures Using Eurocode 6 - Errata
This document is part of the series giving guidance on the design of masonry structures to Eurocode 6. Throughout the guide series the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) from the UK National Annexes (NAs) have been used. These enable Eurocode 6 to be applied in the UK.
