Specialisation pathway - Eurocodes calculator

The Eurocodes are the calculation rules to be applied to timber structures and have gradually replaced the CB71.

In order to help you understand the different aspects of the “Eurocodes Calculator” environment, FCBA has set up a very complete course which addresses, in a theoretical and practical way, all the main justifications. From the combinations of actions to the calculation rules in an earthquake situation, all the major steps are covered and illustrated with numerous examples.
