EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings
Eurocode 8 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in seismic regions. It purpose is to ensure that in the event of earthquakes: human lives are protected; damage is limited; and structures important for civil protection remain operational.
EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 2: Bridges
Within the framework of the general requirements set forth in Part 1.1, this part of the Code contains design Principles, Criteria and Application Rules applicable to the earthquake resistant design of bridges.
EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 3: Assessment and retrofitting of buildings
This document provides criteria for the evaluation of the seismic performance of existing individual building structures, and describes the approach in selecting necessary corrective measures.
EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 4: Silos, tanks and pipelines
This standard includes the additional criteria and rules required for the seismic design of this structure without restrictions on their size, structural types and other functional characteristics. For some types of tanks and silos, however, it also provides detailed methods of assessment and verification rules.
EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 5: Foundations, retaining structures and geotechnical aspects
This Part of Eurocode 8 establishes the requirements, criteria, and rules for siting and foundation soil of structures for earthquake resistance. It covers the design of different foundation systems, earth retaining structures and soil-structure interaction under seismic actions.
EN 1998 Eurocode 8 - structures for earthquake resistance - Part 6: Towers, masts and chimneys
This document deals with material related Eurocode parts dealing with towers, masts and chimneys. Design rules for the earthquake resistant design of tall, slender structures: towers, including bell-towers , masts, industrial chimneys and lighthouses constructed in reinforced concrete or steel.
