Description
Summary:For this project, the author is mostly interested into investigating the primary differences with regards to the Eurocodes and the BS Codes. By submitting hypothetical situations for computations under the two differing measures, this project hopes to be able to illustrate the differences via quantitative assessments, accounting for the disparity by interpreting if it had been due to the different approaches or principles for example. At the end of the study, this project aims to be able to identify if there is a more superior medium or standard by means of the comparison. Last of all, this project hopes to be able to offer constructive recommendations, categorically to the application and consequences of the Eurocodes in the Singapore’s landscape.
