ABSTRACT
Design codes and standards are used in designing structures in different parts of the world. Each country has a standard code of practice for designing structures for human’s use and services. The codes under consideration in this study are BS8110 and Euro code [Ec2] as they applied to the design of different structural Elements. This study specifically compares the design applications of these two codes and draws a conclusion from them.
