The Eurocodes (EC for short) are standardized rules for designing in civil engineering throughout Europe.
There are currently 10 Eurocodes (EC 0 to EC 9 in the standards EN 1990 to EN 1999). These are subdivided further. The Eurocode consists of 58 partial standards.
Furthermore, the standards committees of the member states create a National Annex for each Eurocode, which contains the national definition of the parameters, such as partial safety factors.
