Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings
Also Known As:
Eurocode 8, also known as EN 1998-1, is a standard that addresses the design of structures for earthquake resistance. This standard applies to both buildings and civil engineering works in seismic regions. It provides the basic performance requirements and compliance criteria for structures in these areas.
One of the main aspects of EN 1998-1 is the representation of seismic actions and their combination with other types of actions. This ensures that the structures are designed to withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. The standard also includes general design rules specific to different types of materials, such as concrete, steel, composite steel-concrete, timber, and masonry. These material-specific sections provide additional guidance and requirements for the design of structures using these materials in seismic regions.
