Abstract

In 2010 the structural Eurocodes replaced the equivalent national standards in all EU member states. As a result of this, many other countries around the world that have historical connections with the UK are now adopting the Eurocodes as their national standards. For steel construction, adoption is proving challenging in these countries. This paper describes the different approaches that are being used in the Asia-Pacific region.
