Welcome to the Eurocode 6 web site where you will find resources to support masonry design and construction.

Eurocode 6, or to use the more formal title, BS EN 1996, consists of four documents:

BS EN 1996-1-1: Rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry BS EN 1996-1-2: Structural fire design BS EN 1996-2: Selection and execution of masonry
BS EN 1996-3: Simplified calculation methods and simple rules for masonry structures
