National Annex
+ Eurocode 3 allo(s some parameters and design met!ods to be determined at a national le,el. -!ere a national c!oice is allo(ed, t!is is indicated in t!e Eurocodes under t!e rele,ant clause. % ,alues or met!ods to be used in a particular country are gi,en in t!e )ational &nne*.

Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs)

+ "!e recommended ,alues of t!e parameters and design met!ods are collecti,ely referred to as )ationally #etermined Parameters .)#Ps/. )#Ps determine ,arious aspects of design but per!aps most importantly t!e le,el of safety of structures during construction and ser,ice.

#ey Differences !et$een E%3 and &S '(')

"!ere are se,eral differences bet(een EC3 and BS 5950$ BS 5950 Structure Separate sections for different elements types e.g. Beams, Plate Girders, Compression members... EC3 Structure Sub parts are based on structural p!enomena e.g. "ension, Compression, Bending, S!ear Sub parts can be applied to any element "!e arrangement of t!e sub parts means less duplication of rules
