Abstract

The European Standard EN 1090-2 establishes all the rules that steel plants and execution companies have to implement in order to carry out a steel structure of good quality. It has three parts: SR EN 1090-1+A1:2012, SR EN 1090-2+A1:2012, and SR EN 1090-3:2008. The paper describes some case studies related to the application of EN 1090-2 in steel and bridge structures and the responsibility of the steel manufacturers, execution companies and designer. Some comments regarding the application in the current practice are presented.
