Call for papers, First International Workshop on Design of Concrete Structures Using EN 1992-1-1
Abstracts are being accepted until 15 January 2010 for the First International Workshop on Design of Concrete Structures Using EN 1992-1-1 (Prague, 16-17 September 2010).
This First International Workshop will focus on the application of EN 1992-1-1, since this standard has been introduced and accepted as the national standard in many European countries and there already are some practical experiences with its use. The Organizing Committee expects a creative discussion which will continue after the Workshop on the following subjects:
- Background of EN 1992-1-1, Main features in National Annex,
- Experiences with National Annex,
- Experiences with practical design,
- Tables, charts and aids for design of concrete structures,
- Proposals of major changes for the next revision of standard.
