It is intended to be used in conjunction with the fire design Parts of EN 1992 to EN 1996 and EN 1999 which give rules for designing structures for fire resistance. Part 1-2 of EN 1991 contains thermal actions related to nominal and physically based thermal actions. More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in annexes.
The Eurocodes are the ten European standards (EN; harmonised technical rules) specifying how structural design should be conducted within the European Union (EU). These were developed by the European Committee for Standardization upon the request of the European Commission. [1] The purpose of the Eurocodes is to provide: [1]
EN 1990: (Eurocode 0) Basis of structural design; EN 1991: (Eurocode 1) Actions on structures; EN 1992: (Eurocode 2) Design of concrete structures; EN 1993: (Eurocode 3) Design of steel structures; EN 1994: (Eurocode 4) Design of composite steel and concrete structures; EN 1995: (Eurocode 5) Design of timber structures
Eurocode 0 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1991 to EN 1999 for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works, including geotechnical aspects, structural fire design, situations involving earthquakes, execution and temporary structures.
Robustness is the ability of a structure to withstand events like fire, explosions, impact or the consequences of human error, without being damaged to an extent disproportionate to the original cause – as defined in EN 1991-1-7 of the Accidental Actions Eurocode.
Eurocode 1: Actions on structures; Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures; Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures; Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures; Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures; Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures; Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design; Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake ...
It sets requirements for structural integrity, including strength, serviceability, durability and fire resistance. EN 1999 is intended to be used in conjunction with: EN 1990: Eurocode – Basis of structural design; EN 1991: Eurocode 1 – Actions on structures; European Standards for construction products relevant for aluminium structures;
A structural load or structural action is a mechanical load (more generally a force) applied to structural elements. [1] [2] A load causes stress, deformation, displacement or acceleration in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements.
