Recommendations for assessment 52 Eurocodes for bridges Chris R Hendy Abstract Head of Bridge Design The new Structural Eurocodes offer increased economy in design over and Technology most existing codes of practice. This is achieved through codification of Highways Transportation more advanced calculation methods, such as non-linear analysis, and also through codified rules which give increased economy in many situations compared to the old British Standard rules because they are based on recent testing and numerous non-linear finite element parametric studies. This presents great opportunities for improving sustainability in design. However, the assessment of existing structures is specifically outside the scope of the Eurocodes, so many of the benefits these new codes bring cannot be directly applied when reviewing old structures. Increased assessments of strength would Jessica Sandberg be highly beneficial in demonstrating that old structures with increased loading Group Engineer or small amounts of deterioration were still adequate to continue in operation Highways Transportation without costly refurbishment, modification or reconstruction. The Eurocodes lend themselves to adaptation for assessment of structures beca
