When will be the EC 6 established for use in Germany and what means it for the national design codes?
Wolfram Jäger, Carola Hauschild
The European Design Codes with their National Annexes should be available in the year 2010 and contradictory national design standards withdrawn according to the agreement between DIN and the European Standardisation Organisation CEN. The contribution explains how the current state in masonry construction is, and how long the German design codes for masonry can be applied. Also the effect on the revised DIN 1053-1 is described. Closing it will be expressed corresponding to the wish of practise that only a complete document should be introduced in the list of technically regulations for construction by the building authority.
