The strategy of implementing Eurocode 2 in Malaysia

Code of practice is a document that is written to help engineers in designing. In Malaysia, the British Standard (BS) is the main source of structural design code. Start from 2010, BS 8110, the design code for the structural use of concrete, will be withdrawn to give way for the full implementation...
