Experts from CEN/TC 250 will present the technical background and key changes of the second-generation EN 1990, the 'head code' of the Eurocode suite. The webinar will cover EN 1990-1 for the design of new structures, EN 1990-2 for the assessment of existing structures, and the reliability background underpinning the Eurocodes. Sessions will address reliability management, geotechnical alignment, robustness, serviceability provisions, and sustainability requirements. An interactive Q&A will close the event.
Participation to this webinar is free. Please register at: Webinar second generation of Eurocode EN 1990. Registration will close 10 days before the date of the webinar.
