Standard EN Sample
Eurocode 8. Design of structures for earthquake resistance. Silos, tanks and pipelines
Also Known As:
BS EN 1998-4:2006, also known as Eurocode 8, focuses on the seismic design of structures such as silos, tanks, and pipelines. The standard provides principles and application rules for designing the structural aspects of above-ground and buried pipeline systems, storage tanks, and other similar facilities. It covers a wide range of structures without restrictions on their size, structural types, and functional characteristics.
The standard includes specific criteria and rules for seismic design, ensuring that these structures can withstand earthquake forces. It also provides detailed methods of assessment and verification for certain types of tanks and silos. BS EN 1998-4:2006 replaces the previous standard DD ENV 1998-4:1999, updating and improving the guidelines for seismic design in this specific context.
