Harmonization of the Romanian structural design codes with the European codes (Euronorms). National applicable documents

Abstract

Harmonization of the technical base for the Civil Engineering Design and the classes, quality and performances of the materials, equipments and broadly the construction products must assure the growing mobility of the designers and/or the project work, the elimination of the technical and commercial barriers inside the construction industry, the equal treatment inside all the European countries of various structural systems, materials and products.
The translation of the structural Eurocodes and the draw up of the CR (Romanian Codes) are very important operations and must be duplicated by a large action of dissemination and explanation to make them known to the engineers that should apply or work collateral with these norms. The DANs (National Appliance Documents) must be send to investigation for a 2 years period and enter in application with a temporary code status, simultaneously with the existent national Codes.
