This commentary on EN 1994-1-1 is intended for all professionals involved in the design, construction, inspection or monitoring of composite steel and concrete structures. It provides support for the interpretation and application of the standard in engineering practice. Particular emphasis is placed on explaining the mechanical models on which the design rules are based, in order to enable proper application of the standard even in the case of practical issues that are not covered by special application rules in Eurocode 4. The book is supplemented by a number of typical examples from structural engineering, so that the practitioner can familiarize himself with the code easily and quickly.
In addition, an insight is given into the current state of discussion in the development of the regulations for the next generation of Eurocode 4 and important, expected changes and additions are pointed out.
