Abstract

Within this document the differences arising from the transition of the NEN (Dutch code) to the Eurocode are studied with respect to shear failure and fatigue. These differences are investigated on a global level, where in addition the fib Model Code is taken into account. In the next part the actual differences are determined within a case study, consisting of a viaduct for road traffic build up from precast girders. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are given.
