[en] Eurocode ; Chinese Codes ; Composite Structures
[en] Eurocodes (EC) which were published in 2007 are one of the most advanced standards for structure design in the world. Today, Eurocodes are not only used in EU or EFTA countries, but also many other countries use Eurocodes or align their National standards with them, which gives Eurocodes global influence. Chinese codes of practise, on the other hand, benefit from the recent fast developed construction industry and have a vast application base. In the recent years, half of the new building floor area worldwide is built in China. Thus, it is interesting to compare Eurocodes (one of the most used codes worldwide) with the Chinese codes of design (with which most buildings were recently built).
