Eurocode 1

Eurocode 1 supersedes BS 6399: Loading for buildings and BS 648: Schedule of weights of building materials. It contains within its ten parts (see table below) all the information required by the designer to assess the individual actions on a structure. It is generally self-explanatory and the actions to be used in the UK (as advised in the UK National Annex) are typically the same as those in the old British Standards. The most notable exception is the bulk density of reinforced concrete, which has been increased to 25 kN/m³.
