I've spent many months wrestling with Eurocodes which are replacing
British Standards for structural design. My favourite quote comes
from David Brown of Steel Construction Institute who makes a point
of reminding his course attenders or article readers that changing
code provisions doesn't make a steel beam any stronger or weaker:
steel beams know nothing of codes - a beam which will happily
support 10 tonnes and collapse when you put 20 tonnes on it can't be
made stronger by using a different code.
