NA to BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005 PDF Download

The UK National Annex for Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design (NA to BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005) is a standard that provides guidelines for the safety, serviceability, and durability of structures in construction engineering works. It establishes the basis for the design and verification of structures, as well as the principles of structural reliability and safety. The standard adopts the limit state concept in conjunction with a partial factor method for structural design, ensuring that the structures meet the required levels of safety and performance.

BS EN 1990 covers various aspects related to structural design, including basic requirements, reliability management, and durability. It outlines the principles of limit states design and addresses variables, structural analysis, design assisted by testing, and verification using the partial factor method. The standard is applicable to both the appraisal of existing constructions and the design of repairs and alterations.

The target audience for this standard includes construction engineers, civil engineers, surveyors, site inspectors, quality assurers, and risk assessors. These professionals can rely on the guidelines provided in NA to BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005 to ensure the safety and reliability of structures in construction projects.
