{{Short description|Design of buildings and civil engineering works standard}} {{Italic title}} {{Unreferenced|date=August 2020}} [[File:EN1994.svg|thumb|Logo of Eurocode 4]] In the [[Eurocode]] series of [[European Committee for Standardization|European standards]] (EN) related to [[construction]], '''''Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures''''' (abbreviated '''EN 1994''' or, informally, '''EC 4''') describes how to design of [[Composite material|composite]] [[structure]]s, using the [[limit state design]] philosophy. It was approved by the [[European Committee for Standardization]] (CEN) on 4 November 2004. Eurocode 4 is divided in two parts EN 1994-1 and EN 1994-2.
Eurocode 4 is intended to be used in conjunction with:
* [[EN 1990]]: Eurocode - Basis of structural design; * [[EN 1991]]: Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures; *'''ENs''', '''hENs''', '''ETAGs''' and '''ETAs''' for construction products relevant for composite structures; * [[EN 1090]]: Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures; * [[EN 13670]]: Execution of concrete structures; * [[EN 1992]]: Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete structures; * [[EN 1993]]: Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures; * [[EN 1997]]: Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical design; * [[EN 1998]]: Eurocode 8 - Design of structures for earthquake resistance, when composite structures are built in seismic regions.
==Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings== EN 1994-1-1 gives a general basis for the design of composite structures together with specific rules for [[buildings]].
===Contents=== * General * Basis of design * Materials * Durability * Structural analysis * Ultimate [[limit state]]s * Serviceability limit states * Constructional details in buildings structures * Composite slab with steel grids for the buildings
==Part 1-2: Structural fire design== EN 1994-1-2 deals with the design of composite steel and concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1994-1-1 and [[EN 1991]]-1-2. This part only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design and deals only with passive methods of fire protection. Active methods are not covered.
==Part 2: General rules and rules for bridges== EN 1994-2 gives design rules for steel-concrete composite [[bridge]]s or members of bridges, additional to the general rules in EN 1994-1-1. Cable stayed bridges are not fully covered by this part.
===Contents=== * General * Basis of design * Materials * Durability * Structural analysis * Ultimate [[limit state]]s * Serviceability [[limit state]]s * Decks with precast [[concrete]] slabs * Composite plates in [[bridge]]s
