Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 2: Traffic loads on bridges
Also Known As:
Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 2: Traffic loads on bridges, also known as DIN EN 1991-2 standard, provides guidelines for the assessment of imposed loads on bridges. It covers a wide range of traffic-related forces, including those induced by road traffic, pedestrian actions, and rail traffic. This includes dynamic effects, centrifugal forces, braking forces, acceleration forces, and accidental forces.
The standard ensures that these imposed loads are taken into account during the structural design of road, railway, and pedestrian/cycle bridges. It provides guidance on how to combine these traffic loads with non-traffic loads and other actions that bridges may experience. Moreover, it also addresses the design of loads on parapets, which are essential for ensuring the safety of pedestrians and vehicles on the bridge.
