Overview
PP 1990 is a user-friendly guide which introduces the principals of Structural Eurocodes to students of civil engineering, structural engineering and structural design.
This revised edition of PP 1990 includes updated extracts from nine of the ten published Eurocodes†. Each extract is accompanied with commentary and worked examples written by experts from industry and UK universities. This second edition also has the benefit of featuring extracts and explanatory text on the relevant published UK National Annexes which supply information on any nationally determined parameters referred to in the Eurocode text.
It is important for students to be aware of the Structural Eurocode series. The series details common design principals and rules for the design of structures and component products, and describes a common series of methods for calculating the structural strength of elements used in construction. From 2010 this set of unified international codes of practice will replace national codes in the European Community. They are already mandatory for European public works and are set to become the benchmark standard for the private sector, throughout Europe and Worldwide.
PP 1990:2007 is also a valuable resource for postgraduate study and as a development tool and resource for engineers and technicians.
