What is the difference between BS 8110-1:1997 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014
can someone explain me if BS and EN are the same code? if not then what is BS EN means? every time its written together as a reference of code like one mention above?

Thanks,

first, some standard starts as EN. It is then obligated to be distributed by each european country underr their authority. It is then eg. a DIN EN (german), NEN EN (holland), BS EN (UK), ...

BS 8110 has long (>5yrs) been superseded by eurocode 2 (EN 1992).

yes BS EN means it is Eurocode used in Britain

As others have explained there are various national flavours (such as BS, DIN etc) of European codes (EN) -> BS EN. Old UK-only codes start with BS only. While both BS 8110 and BS EN 1992 deal with structural use of reinforced concrete, they are quite different and BS 8110 has been withdrawn and superseded by BS EN 1992.

BS EN stands for British Standards Eurocode Norm! It cannot stand for anything else.

My understanding is that it has to be an exact copy of the EN document and cannot even include the BS National Annex modifications to the base document. These have to be in a separate document.

RE: What is the difference between BS 8110-1:1997 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014

Comment from another non-European:
BS EN stands for British Standard Eurocode Norm.
As per kingnero, Eurocodes are more exclusive.

RE: What is the difference between BS 8110-1:1997 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014

well yes...every country that uses Eurocode can specify certain values ( like snow load and certain safety factors )
these are written in the national Annex
so you need to read both
the Eurocode which is the same for all countries as well as the British Annex if you want to design in Britain

Incorrect.

Big difference between european standard (EN, about 25k of those) and eurocode (EN 1990 - EN 1999).

you are maybe correct....but we structural engineers use both terms but we know what we mean :)

Can you please enlighten us to the big difference between

BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 and EN 1992-1-1:2004 and Eurocode 2 Design of Concrete Structures Part 1-1.

RE: What is the difference between BS 8110-1:1997 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014

No difference, just the Eurocodes are a subset of the Euronorms.

RE: What is the difference between BS 8110-1:1997 and BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014

yes correct...no difference

Short name for that code among structural engineers is simply
EC2 or EuroCode2

same for the other codes for constructions
EC0 Basics
EC1 Loads
EC2 Concrete
EC3 steel
EC4 composites
EC5 timber
EC6 masonry
EC8 seismic design
EC9 Aluminium
and maybe more in the future

best regards

You're asking the wrong question.
I stated there is a big difference between EN and EC.
