Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1990 standard, also known as Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design, serves as a comprehensive guide for the structural design and verification of buildings and civil engineering works. It encompasses various aspects such as geotechnical considerations, safety and serviceability requirements, as well as guidelines for structural reliability.
The standard lays down the fundamental principles and general approaches that need to be followed in the design process. It provides a framework that ensures structures are able to perform adequately in all circumstances, including events such as fire outbreaks and seismic activities.
In addition to providing the basis for structural design, DIN EN 1990 also emphasizes the importance of considering geotechnical aspects. This includes understanding the behavior of soil and other geotechnical materials under different loading conditions and incorporating this knowledge into the design process.
