    What books are you using for Eurocodes? I will start the list:

    Code

    Structural Eurocodes, extracts for ... students PP 1990:2010

    Additions from IHS database, NSAI National annex (NA) &c

    General

    Structural element design manual, 2nd ed, Draycott & Bullman, Butterworth Heinemann
    A good reader for the uninitiated on beams

    Design of Structural Elements, 2nd ed, McKenzie, Palgrave
    Excellent

    Understanding Structures, 4th ed, Seward, Palgrave
    Useless

    Design of Structural Elements, 3rd ed, Chanakya, Spon
    Not too bad but is also considering BS, a new edition required to EC only should be quite good

    Concrete

    Reinforced Concrete Design, 7th ed, Mosley et al, Palgrave
    Excellent

    Timber

    Design of Structural Timber, 2nd ed, McKenzie & Zhang, Palgrave
    Excellent, the first book to buy on timber

    Structural Timber Design, Porteous & Kermani, Blackwell
    Excellent, cheaper paperback edition to be released soon

    Handbook on structural timber design to Eurocode 5, Harrington et al, Coford
    Free, check coford website
    Timber strength values &c

    Aluminium

    Introduction to Structural Aluminium Design, Ulrich Muller
    Informative but a short book, more aluminium books will be on the way in a years time

    Geotechnics

    Smith's Elements of soil mechanics, 8th ed, Smith, Blackwell
    Excellent, design of footing and walls to EC

    Decoding Eurocode 7, Bond & Harris, CRC
    Excellent, compares design philosophies: Irish design somewhat wider than British

    Steel

    The Behaviour and design of steel structures to Eurocode 3, 4th ed, Trahair et al, Taylor and Francis
    Quite good, readers should be aware of structural design

    Structural design of steelwork, 3rd, Martin and Purkiss, Butterworth Heinemann
    Quite good, readers should be aware of structural design

    Design of structural steel, Simonoes de Silva et al, Ernst & Sohn
    Informative but of limited use as it does not refer to UK/Irish NA
