Frå BKR till Eurokod
Dimensionering i Eurokod
From January 1st 2011 the use of Eurocode will be mandatory for all constructionprojects. Eurocode is the common European set of struc-tural design codes which willreplace BKR (Boverkets Kon-struktionsregler). BKR is the Swedish set of structuraldesign codes that was used up until December 31 2010. For consulting firms this willcre-ate a need for them to invest in the standards and in education for thecoworkers. This will involve both time and costs for the company.The purpose and aim of this master thesis is the development of compute examplesand calculations aid by dimensioning with Euro-code. The content of the reportconsists of a short introduction of Euro-code; its description and its purpose.A short retrospective of the elderly structural designs and BKR. The main partconsists of the compute mode for the different structural parts in different materials.Different expressions and coefficients will be explained.This master thesis is created to meet the needs of Byggkonsulten Widberg.Byggkonsulten Widberg is a consultant firm in Uppsala which carries out differentstructural assignments.With help of the developed compute examples the coworkers can learn andunderstand the compute mode in a quicker way. They will also be able to dimensiondifferent structural parts in an effective and simple way with help of the compute aid.
