Abstract: With the further internationalization of the projects, more and more refinery heaters need to be designed in accordance with foreign structural codes. This paper compares the code system, design principles, wind loads, seismic action, combination of loads, structural layout and practices of node in the design of heater steel structures between European codes and Chinese codes with the aim of providing reference for domestic engineering designers.

Key words: Chinese code, Eurocode, heater, steel structure
