Harmonization of Design Rules in Europe
In the last decades the Eurocodes have been developed in order to harmonize the technical rules for the structural design in Europe. Since the beginning in 1975 the aim was the elimination of technical obstacles in trades throughout Europe. Today most of the Eurocodes are published. The ECs are no rigid technical rules; they keep room for national differences. The National Annex which is valid in conjunction with the relevant Eurocode contains information on those parameters which are left open for national choice. Due to the fact that the Eurocodes are still not mandatory in Europe and not even used by some of the European Countries, it is necessary to make the engineers sensitive to the Eurocodes and to train the use. The European Union launched in 1995 the Leonardo Da Vinci Programme with the objective of improving the provision of vocational education and training across Europe. The paper will describe the current Leonardo Project named "Eur-Ing" and show some results.
