  • Use of Eurocodes for the Design of Bridges and Road Related Structures
    TS IA 39 Use of Eurocodes for the design of bridges and road related structures TRANSPORT SCOTLAND (AGENCY OF THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT) TRUNK ROADS & BUS OPERATIONS (TRBO) TS INTERIM AMENDMENT No 39: USE OF EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES AND ROAD RELATED STRUCTURES Summary This Transport Scotland Interim Amendment (TS IA) provides guidance on the requirements for the implementation of Eurocodes for the design of bridges and road related structures. Instructions for use This Interim Amendment supersedes TS IA 31 and takes immediate effect. WITHDRAWN TS IA 39 Pg 1 of 67 August 2011 TS IA 39 Use of Eurocodes for the design of bridges and road related structures Transport Scotland Interim Amendment No 39 Use of Eurocodes for the design of bridges and road related structures 1. Scope This Interim Amendment provides guidance and requirements for the use of Eurocodes for the design of bridges and road related structures (including geotechnical works) on the Scottish Trunk Road network. This TS IA does not apply to the assessment of existing structures. 2. Introduction Eurocodes are the suite of European Standards covering structural design of all civil engineering works, including bridges. The UK, as a member of the European Union, is obliged to comply with the requirements of the Construction Products Directive (CPD) and Public Procurement Directive (PPD), which set out the status of European Standards in the member states. Since the withdrawal of conflicting UK National Standards by the British Standards Institution (BSi), Eurocodes have become the published and maintained structural design standards in the UK. Transport Scotland expresses its requirements for the design of new and modification of existing bridges and road related structures (including geotechnical works) in terms of Eurocodes.
