Eurocode 6. Design of masonry structures. General rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures
Also Known As:
BS EN 1996-1-1:2005+A1:2012, also known as Eurocode 6, is a standard that provides general rules for the design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures. It covers the design of buildings and civil engineering works using masonry, with a focus on unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry where reinforcement is added for ductility, strength, or improved serviceability. The standard also includes principles for the design of prestressed masonry and confined masonry, although application rules are not provided.
This standard can be applied to structures that are not fully covered, new structural uses for established materials, new materials, or situations where actions and influences beyond normal experience need to be resisted. However, additional supplementation may be required in such cases.
BS EN 1996-1-1:2005+A1:2012 provides detailed rules applicable to ordinary buildings, with possible limitations or simplifications for practical reasons. The standard consists of several sections that cover a range of topics including general principles, basis of design, materials, durability, structural analysis, ultimate limit state, serviceability limit state, detailing, and execution. It also requires compliance with a UK National Annex that provides additional guidance specific to the United Kingdom.
