Background Design of public works civil engineering structures mainly makes reference to British Standards, such as: - BS 5400: Bridges - BS 8004: Foundations - BS 8007: Water retaining structures - BS 8110: Structural use of concrete The above standards were superseded by Eurocodes: BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005, BS EN 1991-1-7:2006, BS EN 1992-1-1:2004, BS EN 1992-3:2006, BS EN 1997-1:2004, etc. 3 1. Background DEVB planned to migrate to Eurocodes for the design of public works civil engineering structures by 2015. In BS EN 1992-1-1:2004, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures, characteristic cylinder strength (fck) is used in most of the design formulae. In BS EN 206-1:2000: The characteristic strength at 28 days of 150 mm diameter by 300 mm cylinders or the characteristic strength at 28 days of 150 mm cubes are used for classification. 4 BS EN 206-1, Table 7 gives the following correlation:
