Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1991-1-1 standard serves as a guideline for evaluating the various actions that affect the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. This standard takes into account the density of construction materials, including stored materials, as well as the self-weight of construction elements and the imposed loads on floors and roofs of buildings.
By providing specifications and requirements for these actions, the standard enables engineers and designers to accurately assess the loads that structures are subjected to. This assessment is crucial for ensuring the safety and structural integrity of buildings. The standard covers a wide range of aspects, including the determination of material densities, calculations for the self-weight of different construction elements, and the evaluation of imposed loads on floors and roofs.
Following the guidelines outlined in DIN EN 1991-1-1 ensures that buildings and civil engineering works are designed to withstand the expected actions imposed upon them. This standard provides a comprehensive framework for engineers to consider the various factors that contribute to the overall stability and safety of structures. Compliance with this standard is essential for ensuring that buildings can safely withstand the anticipated loads and provide a secure environment for occupants.
