EN 1991 Eurocode 1 provides comprehensive information on all actions that should normally be considered in the design of buildings and other civil engineering works, including some geotechnical aspects.
It is in four main parts, the first part being divided into sub-parts that cover densities, self-weight and imposed loads; actions due to fire; snow; wind; thermal actions; loads during execution and accidental actions. The remaining three parts cover traffic loads on bridges, actions by cranes and machinery and actions in silos and tanks.

Increasing awareness of Eurocodes and adaptation of structural design to climate change in ASEAN countries
The 2nd EU-ASEAN Regional Workshop on Eurocodes, held in Singapore the 9-10 October 2023, was the first hybrid event under the EU-ASEAN Eurocodes Dialogue. It has brought together 123 delegates of the relevant stakeholders in all ASEAN Member States.
2nd EU-ASEAN Regional Workshop on Eurocodes - Singapore 9-10 October 2023
Experts from the EU and ASEAN Member States will share knowledge with representatives from competent organisations in AMS on the development and elaboration of wind and thermal maps for structural design with the Eurocodes. The event will provide an opportunity to learn and build on the experience.
