Introduction to the Eurocode Standards
The Eurocode Standards represent a comprehensive set of rules and guidelines for structural design in the European Union and beyond. They were developed to harmonize design practices across Europe, ensuring safety, sustainability, and economic efficiency in construction.

The Eurocodes are recognized internationally as benchmarks for structural design, offering flexibility and a unified approach for engineers and architects. By standardizing design principles, they facilitate cross-border construction projects, improve construction quality, and enhance safety in the built environment.

The Structural Eurocode program consists of a series of standards designed to guide the structural design process in various materials and scenarios. Here's a detailed breakdown of the Eurocodes:

1. **EN 1990 - Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design**
- Establishes the principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability, and durability of structures.
- Provides guidelines for reliability management and defines the design working life.

2. **EN 1991 - Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures**
- Covers all types of loads and forces acting on structures, such as dead loads, live loads, wind actions, snow loads, and thermal actions.

3. **EN 1992 - Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures**
- Offers guidance for designing structures made from reinforced and prestressed concrete.
- Includes rules for buildings, bridges, and other concrete constructions.

4. **EN 1993 - Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures**
- Provides detailed rules for the design of steel structures, covering various structural forms and member configurations.

5. **EN 1994 - Eurocode 4: Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures**
- Focuses on structures that combine steel and concrete elements, such as composite beams, columns, and slabs.

6. **EN 1995 - Eurocode 5: Design of Timber Structures**
- Addresses the design and safety of timber structures, including solid timber, glued laminated timber, and other engineered wood products.

7. **EN 1996 - Eurocode 6: Design of Masonry Structures**
- Covers the structural design of masonry, including unreinforced, reinforced, and confined masonry.

8. **EN 1997 - Eurocode 7: Geotechnical Design**
- Focuses on geotechnical aspects, such as foundations, retaining structures, and slope stability.
- Provides guidance on site investigation and testing.

9. **EN 1998 - Eurocode 8: Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance**
- Provides principles and applications for designing buildings and infrastructure to withstand seismic activity.
- Includes specifications for different seismic zones.

Each of these standards is subdivided into parts that detail specific areas of application, such as buildings, bridges, and other structural systems. The Eurocodes are widely used across Europe and globally for ensuring standardized and reliable structural design.

Main Types of Loads
1. Concentrated Loads: These loads are best represented as being applied at a single point in the structure. Examples include a column (pillar) resting on a beam (where the elements are referred to as the pillar and the transition beam) or one beam resting on another.
2. Uniformly Distributed Loads: These loads act evenly along a structural element, such as a wall or slab supported by a beam.
3. Triangular Distributed Loads: These loads are distributed in a triangular pattern. Examples include a wall supporting a sloping roof or a ramp applying load onto a beam.

Struggling with Designing Footings?
The foundation is one of the most important parts of structural design. It must be strong enough to support the entire weight of the structure, materials, and people. The bottom part of a foundation is called the footing.

Footings are critical as they transfer loads from the structure to the earth evenly. They are commonly made of concrete, with reinforcement (rebars) ensuring the effectiveness of the footing.

Simplify Footing Design with IDEA StatiCa Detail (3D Beta)
Structural engineers often face the complexity of simulating the real behavior of anchoring in footings using traditional methods. IDEA StatiCa Detail (3D Beta) changes that. It enables structural engineers to easily design reinforcement in footings and obtain checks for the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) based on the Compatible Stress Field Method.

Comprehensive Footing Design Features:
🔸 Shape of Solid Block: Rectangular or polygon with dimensions and material
🔸 Surface Support: Whole surface or polyline
🔸 Load Transfer Devices: Base plate or single anchor
🔸 Loads
🔸 Reinforcements: Rebar properties and shape definition

Detailed Evaluation Report:
🔸 Results of Stresses and Strains: In the concrete and reinforcement
🔸 Bond Stress and Related Values
🔸 Non-linear Deformation Value
