EN1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures

Abstract

EN1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures is in an advanced state of development and forms one of the key documents in the suite of 10 structural Eurocodes. Second only to EN1990 Eurocode—Basis of structural design, Eurocode 1 provides comprehensive information on all actions that should normally be considered in the design of building and civil engineering works. It is in four main parts, the first part being divided into sections that cover self and imposed loads and actions due to fire, snow, wind, heat, construction and accidents. The remaining three parts cover traffic loads on bridges, actions by cranes and machinery and actions in silos and tanks.
