ABSTRACT

The advancements the world has witnessed so far have contributed in making it a better place. This paper provides a comparative study between the Eurocodes and the British Standards for the construction of building in particular reference with steel. This paper also gives an account of the importance of Young's Modulus in particular reference with steel. Standards and codes are necessary for ensuring the uniformity among all the constructions being carried. British standards as being the oldest set of the rules provided description regarding the standards to be followed while dealing with the structural materials and design but they were only restricted to the national level, therefore back a couple of decades the authorities took a big step towards harmonizing the rules for the structural design of building and bridges etc. The Eurocodes provides more detailed description of the rules and regulations and standards to be observed for the purpose as compared to British standards. This comparative study undertakes the task of comparing the Eurocodes and the British standards in reference with steel.

CHAPTER 03: METHODOLOGY

The content of this chapter informs about the research methodology adopted to achieve the aims and objectives of research by answering the research questions of the proposed topic. A comprehensive account of the elements of research design and components of the study with a subjective approach towards the research carried for the proposed study will be conferred.

Research Approaches

The most popular and vastly adopted research approaches are the quantitative and qualitative research methods. These methods differ in their approach that is adopted to identify the research problem and the literature review. The two approaches clearly adopt different styles of data collection technique and their analysing and evaluation methods are also different. According to Creswell the method of identification of the research problem ...
