Synopsis

The implementation of Structural Eurocodes in Malaysia is underway and soon they will be the only prescribed design  codes  for  our  buildings  when  the  use  of  the  current  British  design  codes  is  completely  withdrawn. Hence,  it  is  imperative  for  our  design  engineers  to  start  preparing  for  this  migration  to  the  new  Structural Eurocodes  as  soon  as  possible.  In  this  connection,  this  industrial  seminar  on  Riding  the  Waves  of  Change  – From  British  to  Euro  Codes  is  organized  specially  to  raise  awareness  of  the  Structural  Eurocodes  and  in particular,  to  discuss issues  related  to  material  selection,  design  of  steel  and  composite  steel  concrete structures for our building projects.
