Logo of Eurocode 1. In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 1: Actions on structures (abbreviated EN 1991 or, informally, EC 1) describes how to design load-bearing structures. It includes characteristic values for various types of loads and densities for all materials which are likely to be used in ...
Logo of the eurocodes. 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 1994: (Eurocode 4) Design of composite steel and concrete structures; EN 1995: (Eurocode 5) Design of timber structures; EN 1996: (Eurocode 6) Design of masonry structures; EN 1997: (Eurocode 7) Geotechnical design; EN 1998: (Eurocode 8) Design of structures for earthquake resistance; EN 1999: (Eurocode 9) Design of aluminium structures
Live loads, sometimes also referred to as probabilistic loads, include all the forces that are variable within the object's normal operation cycle not including construction or environmental loads. Roof and floor live loads are produced during maintenance by workers, equipment and materials, and during the life of the structure by movable ...
However, BS 5400 still serves as the foundation for assessment standards concerning existing highway and railway structures. Some of the prescriptive clauses from the old code have been reformulated to align with the principles of the Eurocodes and are presented as advisory material within British Standard Published Documents.
SDC Verifier (Structural Design Codes Verifier) is a commercial structural design and finite element analysis software with a calculation core for checking structures according to different standards, either predefined or self programmed, and final report generation with all checks. The goal is to automate routine work and speed up a ...
In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode: Basis of structural design (informally Eurocode 0; abbreviated EN 1990 or, informally, EC 0) establishes the basis that sets out the way to use Eurocodes for structural design. Eurocode 0 establishes Principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability ...
At first it is stated that the wind is a live load then later it is stated it is not a live load. I'm almost certain (at least in the US) that wind is not considered a live load but someone else should confirm this. Wind load is absolutely in every country in the world considered a live load. 110% Sam Lacey 03:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
