Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-5: General actions - Thermal actions
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1991-1-5 standard provides guidelines for assessing thermal actions in the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. These thermal actions are caused by the exposure of structures to daily or seasonal climatic changes and variations.
The standard defines the various types of thermal actions that need to be considered during the design process, such as temperature changes, solar radiation, and heat transfer due to ventilation or conduction. It specifies the calculation methods and load factors to be used for determining the magnitude and distribution of these thermal actions.
By considering the thermal actions in the design process, the standard ensures that structures are adequately designed to withstand the resulting thermal stresses and deformations. It provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of temperature changes and other thermal factors on the performance and safety of structures.
