Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures


In the Eurocode series of European standards related to construction, Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures describes how to design of composite structures, using the limit state design philosophy. It was approved by the European Committee for Standardization on 4 November 2004. Eurocode 4 is divided in two parts EN 1994-1 and EN 1994-2.
Eurocode 4 is intended to be used in conjunction with:

Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings

EN 1994-1-1 gives a general basis for the design of composite structures together with specific rules for buildings.

Part 1-2: Structural fire design

EN 1994-1-2 deals with the design of composite steel and concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1994-1-1 and EN 1991-1-2. This part only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design and deals only with passive methods of fire protection. Active methods are not covered.

Part 2: General rules and rules for bridges

EN 1994-2 gives design rules for steel-concrete composite bridges or members of bridges, additional to the general rules in EN 1994-1-1. Cable stayed bridges are not fully covered by this part.
