General Eurocode information
Implementation of structural Eurocodes in the UK (DCLG 2003) Aims to explain the phased introduction of Eurocodes and how they will be used nationally. BSI Structural Eurocodes Companion (BSI 2009) Delivers practical advice on how the new Eurocodes will work and how they might benefit construction professionals in the UK. http://www.bsigroup.com/Standards-and-Publications/Industry-Sectors/Eurocodes/The-BSI-Companion-to-the-StructuralEurocodes/?id=139795
