Eurocode 0
Eurocode, BS EN 1990 'Eurocode: Basis of structural design' is the head document in the Eurocode suite. Known as Eurocode 0, it describes:
-
the basis and general principles for structural safety, serviceability design and durability. It covers the verification of buildings and civil engineering works including geotechnical aspects,
-
the principles and requirements for safety and serviceability of structures and
-
guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability in all circumstances in which a structure is required to give adequate performance in fire and seismic events.
Consisting of only one part, Eurocode 0 is the basis upon which all the other Eurocodes (1 to 9) operate for the design of structures.
