Introduction to Eurocodes

TECHNAL UK's Introduction to Eurocodes Training is a focused, half-day session designed to equip professionals with the essential knowledge to perform initial wind load assessments and static calculations for building projects. Using our proprietary spreadsheet tool, attendees will learn how to evaluation project-specific requirements in alignment with the Eurocode standards, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with industry regulations. 

Course Content

The training delves into the principles of Eurocode and the application of our bespoke calculation tool. Key areas of focus include:

1. Introduction to Eurocodes

• Overview of the Eurocode framework and its relevance to wind load and structural requirements
  
• Explanation of how Eurocodes ensure standardised, safety-compliant structural designs across Europe

2. Wind Load Assessments

• Methods for calculating wind loads specific to the facade pressure of your building project
  
• Techniques for determining environmental and geographical factors affecting wind load calculations

3.  Static Profile Calculations

• Step-by-step guidance on evaluating the static requirements of profiles
• Single-span and Multi-Span Mullions: Learn to assess the structural behaviour and suitability of mullion profiles
• Transom Wind and Dead Loads: Evaluate the forces acting on transoms under various load conditions
• Transom with Stud Mullion: Understand how this configuration can affect structural performance
• End Connection Forces: Calculate forces in transom end connections to ensure safety and compliance

4. Interpreting Results

• Analysis of calculation outputs to select the correct profiles for your project
• Insights into how results are applied to ensure optimal structural performance in various site conditions
