ÖNORM EN 1992-1-1|General rules & buildings

EN 1992-1-1 gives a general basis and requirements with regard to safety, serviceability and durability for the design of structures in reinforced and pre-stressed concrete together with specific information concernint structural engineering. It is based on the limit state concept which is applied jointly with partial safety factors.

Part 1-1 of EUROCODE 2 gives a general basis for the design of structures in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete made with normal and light weight aggregates together with specific rules for buildings and additional rules intended for structural engineering. For the design of new structures the application of EN 1992-1-1 is provided with other parts of EN 1992 as well as with EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1997 and EN 1998.

EN 1990 addresses the following users:

  • constuctors (e.g. those who want to specify special requirements);
  • designers and operators; responsible authorities;
  • committees elaborating specifications for construction products, or standards for testing- and execution.

The values for partial safety factors and other reliability parameters count as recommendations for achieving an acceptable reliability level. Appropriate quality of execution and adequate quality assurance are presumed.

Sections 1 and 2 give additional rules to EN 1990 “Basis for design”.

EN 1992-1-1 does not cover:

  • the use of plain reinforcement;
  • resistance to fire;
  • particular aspects of special types of building (such as tall buildings);
  • particular aspects of special types of civil engineering works (such as viaducts, bridges, dams, pressure vessels, offshore platforms or liquid-retaining structures)
  • and no-fines concrete and aerated concrete components, and those made with heavy aggregate or containing structural steel sections (see EN 1994 for composite steelconcrete structures).
