Bridge design with Eurocodes

Workshop with worked examples

The Workshop is organized in the framework of the EU-Russia Regulatory Dialogue: Construction Sector Subgroup and intends to promote the adoption of the Eurocodes for bridge design in Russia and facilitate further implementation steps.

In particular, it is envisaged that the Workshop and round table discussion will serve the following objectives:

  • Provide state-of-the-art worked examples and background information on the bridge design with the Eurocodes to the Russian experts;
  • Facilitate exchange of views, knowledge and information between EU experts and representatives of key Russian organisations/institutions, industry and technical associations;
  • Setup of expert working groups with EU and Russian experts to facilitate the national application of Eurocodes in Russia.

The Workshop commenced in the morning of 17 April and concluded in the afternoon of 18 April. The meeting of the EU-Russia Regulatory Dialogue was held on 18 April, co-chaired by Mr. Leoz-Arguelles and Mr. N. Bystrov and the participation of JRC and CEN.
