Description

The Norwegian Structural Steel Association (NSSA) will follow up the official introduction of Eurocodes for Steel structure design in Norway with a conference where the major standards will be presented.

This conference is the 4. Eurocode conference held by NSSA covering the preparations for introduction and use of the Eurocodes in design in Norway. The previous conferences were held in 2004, 2005 and 2007. 

The lecturers for this conference are all involved in Europeean commitee's and standard development work for the new Eurocodes.

This years conference will focus on the General rules, plate structures, joints and connections, fatigue design, material selection and design loads. In addition the introduction of national annexes will be presented.
