Towards this orientation, significant attentions have also been paid and various number of studies on design of concrete structures to the Eurocodes have been conducted by Vietnamese researchers, which will be introduced in this paper to prepare for the comprehensive applications of the Eurocodes for concrete structures in Vietnam in the coming time when appropriable, especially the second generation of the Eurocodes will be expected to be also issued in coming years.
