About Eurocodes
Structural Eurocodes are the pan-European set of structural codes for designing and building and for civil engineering works which will come into force in 2010, replacing British Standards.
The primary objective of Eurocodes is to improve the competitiveness of the European construction industry and the professionals and industries connected with it, outside the European Union. They are innovative, of high technical quality and contain the latest recorded data encompassing expertise from all European countries. After a period of co-existence, they will become mandatory, replacing the codes published by National Standards bodies such as BSI.

As with other European standards, Eurocodes will be used in public procurement specifications and to assess products for CE marking. Eurocodes comprise 57 design standards covering key areas:
-
The basis of structural design
-
Actions
-
Steel
-
Concrete
-
Composite Steel and Concrete
-
Timber (includes Timber Framing)
-
Masonry
-
Aluminium
-
Specialist Glass
-
Geotechnical and Seismic Design |
CADS and Eurocodes
CADS employ a team of over one hundred engineers and software developers who support the ongoing development of new features and the implementation of structural codes. An example of our work to date is CADS RC, which already supports British, North American, Indian and South African detailing codes.
CADS have several parallel developments underway that will enable design to Eurocodes in our range of modelling, analysis, design and detailing products. Further information on availability dates for Eurocode compliant products will be made available closer to their release, but we have already made significant progress.

| SMART Engineer
SMART Engineer is the friendly calculation pad software for engineers for the design of Steel, Concrete, Masonry, Timber and Composite Beams.
It features hundreds of calculation templates including several Eurocode templates for Concrete Beams, Columns and Slabs to EC2:2004 UK.
See the list below for the current Eurocode templates that are available: |

Scia Engineer is a 3D modelling solution for the analysis and design of steel, timber and reinforced concrete buildings, slabs, rafts and other elements thereof. Based on a powerful Finite Elements engine and with a real European pedigree, Scia Engineer already supports several Eurocode annexes , making it ideal for consultancies looking to take full advantage of European project opportunities.
Scia Engineer Supports Most of the Eurocodes Such as:
- EC0 combinations
- EC1 loads
- EC2 reinforced and pre-stressed concrete
- EC3 steel
- EC4 mixed steel concrete
- EC5 wood
- EC8 dynamics
- EC9 aluminium
Starting from Scia Engineer version 2008.0 it is possible for the user to work with National Annexes. This will be of great importance because starting from 2010 old national codes will no longer be applicable in Europe.
