Presently the new generation of Eurocodes is under development. It is expected that the basis of structural design given in current EN 1990 will be considerably revised including the format for load combinations in the Ultimate Limit States and new categorisation of consequence classes for construction works. It is expected that the partial factors for self - weight of structural members could be reduced and factors for variable loads more differentiated. Calibration of partial factors should be performed for actions and materials including also structural glass and FRP polymers.
