Abstract

In all the Structural Eurocodes, certain safety-related numerical values such as partial safety factors are only indicative, and the values to be used in practice have been left to be fixed by the national authorities in each country. Such safety-related numerical values are indicated in the Eurocodes by enclosing them in a box, and are thus generally referred to as the 'boxed' values. The NAD gives the actual national values, selected to reflect national loading codes and local requirements concerning practice and public safety. The NAD also specifies the loading to be used for buildings to be constructed in the country concerned. It includes additional recommendations to enable EC4 to be used for the design of buildings to be constructed in that country. The purpose of this publication is to collate information regarding the state of issue of the NADs, and to compare their technical content, so as to assist those involved in designing structures in one country that are intended for construction in another country.
