NRA Eurocodes Strategy

All NRA funded schemes (procured post March 2010) shall require design of structures to be in accordance with the new structural Eurocodes and the relevant National Annexes published by NSAI. 

“NRA IAN 02/11 - Interim Requirements for the Use of Eurocodes for the Design of Road Structures (including Geotechnical Works)” provides guidance, advice and the requirements of the National Roads Authority for the design of road structures to the Eurocodes. This NRA Interim Advice Note is located on the NRA Standards Website at http://nrastandards.nra.ie  

During the initial stages of implementation of the Eurocodes on NRA funded schemes, one structure from each family of structures shall require a Category 3 check in accordance with NRA BD2.  This requirement will be defined within the contract documents for specific projects.
