EN 1990

EN 1990, also known as the Eurocode 0, is a set of European standards that provides guiding principles for the safety, durability, and performance of engineering structures like buildings, bridges, and dams. It establishes a systematic approach for assessing risks, selecting appropriate methods, and ensuring structures can withstand loads and environmental conditions throughout their lifespan. Essentially, EN 1990 helps engineers make informed decisions to design safe and reliable structures by offering consistent rules, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and sustainability across infrastructure projects within Europe.
