4. Conclusion
The Eurocodes represent a major step forward in the standardization of structural design practices on a European scale. They make it possible to reconcile safety, performance and durability in the design of structures, while adapting to the specific characteristics of materials and stresses. By covering a wide range of structures and environmental conditions, these standards provide engineers with the scientific and practical tools they need to meet today's construction challenges. Their rigorous implementation guarantees optimal construction, capable of meeting the technical and societal demands of today and tomorrow.
