(1) Seismic checks of provisional works or structures in construction phase may be omitted when the foreseen design duration is less than 2 years

A1.2.1(1)

Note 1:

All actions which may occur simultaneously must be considered, without limit in number.

A1.2.1(1)

Note 2:

No modifications are provided for climatic reasons of expressions of combinations of actions from 6.9a to 6.12b, to be used for verification of ultimate limit states, and from 6.14a to 6.16b, to be used for verification of serviceability limit states.

A1.2.1(1)

Note

The values of the recommended coefficients given in Table A1.1 are valid

A1.3.1(1)

Note

There are two coefficients G : G1 and G2 respectively for structural and non-structural permanent loads.

In each verification of the ultimate limit state structural loads are considered as all those deriving from the presence of structures and materials which, in the modelling used, contribute to the behaviour of the work with characteristics of strength and rigidity. In particular, considered within the structural load will be the weight of the soil in verification of slopes and embankments, the force on support structures, etc.

Table A1.2(A)

Note 2

Should the static balance verification involve resistance of the structural elements, two separate verifications must be carried out, based on Tables A1.2(A) and A1.2(B). A combined verification is not permitted.

Table A1.2(B)

Note 3

The characteristic values of all actions deriving from a single source are multiplied by G,sup if the effect of the total resulting action is unfavourable and for G,inf if the effect of the total resulting action is favourable. For example, all actions generated by the weight of the structure can be considered as deriving from a single source; this applies even if different materials are involved.

Approach 1 or alternatively approach 2 may be adopted, except in the case of other explicit requirements.

A1.3.2(2)

Table A1.3

(*)

In accidental design situations for the main variable action the semi-permanent value is adopted. In combinations of seismic actions for the main variable action the semi-permanent value is adopted. The combination of seismic actions is valid for verifications of the ultimate limit state of strength, and for verifications of the damage limit state (see EN1998)

NOTES - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE SPECIFIC FIRE LOAD

E.1 Details

These notes conform to the notes on the decree of the Minister for Home Affairs of 9March2007.

(1) The density of fire load used in calculations corresponds to a design value, based on measurements or, in special cases, on fire resistance requirements indicated in national regulations.

(2) The design value may be determined:

- from a national classification of fire loads based on the intended use, and/or

- specifically for a single design, through an analysis of the fire loads.

(3)The design value of the fire load qf,d is defined as follows:

q f,d = q f q1 q2 n [MJ/m2](E.1)

where:

q1 is the factor which takes account of the risk of a fire starting in relation to the dimensions of the compartment (see next Statement E.1);

q2 is the factor which takes account of the risk of a fire starting in relation to the type of activity carried out in the compartment (see next Statement E.1);

is the factor which takes account of the different protection measures (see next Statement E.2);

q f is the nominal value of the specific fire load per unit of floor area [MJ/m2] (see for example the next Statement E.4).

E.2 Determining the density of fire load

E.2.1 Details

(1) The fire load is determined by taking into account all combustible contents of the building and all parts of the construction which may burn, also including finishes and installations. Combustible parts which do not char during the fire need not be considered.

The contribution to the determination of density of fire load of timber structures is determined by taking into account the information provided by the Ministry for Home Affairs for the activities under the control of the National Body of Firefighters or regulated by specific technical fire prevention rules.

(2) To determine the volume of fire load it is possible to operate:

- through a classification of fire load depending on the intended use (see the following Point E.2.5) and/or

- through specific designs (see the following Point E.2.6).

(3) If the density of fire load is determined through classification of the fire load in relation to the intended use, the following must be taken into account:

- the fire load of the intended use, provided by the classification,

- the fire load of the building (construction elements, installations and finishes), which is not generally included in the classification and as such must be assessed with reference to the following points, where applicable.

E.2.2 Definitions

(1) The nominal fire load is defined in the form:

Qfi = Mi Hui mi i = Q fi, i [MJ](E.2)

where:

Mi is the amount of combustible material [kg], in accordance with (3) and (4);

Hui is the net heating value[MJ/kg], (see the following Point E.2.4 );

mi is the factor for assessing the participation in combustion of x-th combustible material, (see E.3 of Annex E of EN1991-1-2);

i is the factor for assessing fire loads with safeguarding, (see the following Point E.2.3).

(2) The specific nominal fire load qf per unit of area is defined as:

q f = Q fi / Af [MJ/m2](E.3)

where:

Af is the floor area of the compartment or the space referenced

(3) Permanent fire loads, which are not expected to undergo changes in the course of the service life of the structure, are introduced with their expected value resulting from a detailed analysis.

(4) Variable fire loads, which may change during the service life of the structure, are represented by values, which it is not expected will be exceeded for 80% of the time.

E.2.3 Protected fire load

(1) Fire loads in containers which are designed to survive exposure to fire are not to be considered in the calculation.

(2) To fire loads in non-combustible containers which remain intact for the period of exposure, the value i may be adopted, as follows:

0 for materials contained in containers specially designed for fire resistance;

0.85 for materials contained in non-combustible containers which are not specially designed for fire resistance;

1 in all other cases.

E.2.4 Net heating value

(1) Net heating values are determined according to EN ISO 1716:2002.

(2) The humidity content of materials can be taken into account as follows:

Hu = Hu0 (1 - 0.01 u ) - 0.025 u[MJ/kg](E.4)

where:

u is the express humidity content as a percentage compared with dry weight;

Hu0 is the net heating value of dry material.

(3) Heating values of some solids, liquids and gases are indicated in the following Statement E.3.

(3) Fire loads provided in the previous Statement E.4 are valid for "ordinary" compartments in relation to intended use indicated in the statement. Special volumes are considered in accordance with the previous Point E.2.2.

(4) Fire loads of the construction itself (construction elements, fittings, fixtures) are determined in accordance with the previous Points E.2.1 and E.2.2.

E.2.6 Individual assessment of fire load density

(1) In the absence of classes of intended use, fire load densities can be specifically determined by individual designs, carrying out a reconnaissance of the fire loads present in relation to the intended use.

(2) Fire loads and their timely provision are assessed considering the intended use, installations and furnishings, variations in time, unfavourable situations and possible changes in intended use.

Roughness class

Description

A

Urban areas where at least 15% of the land is covered by buildings of an average height greater than 15 m

B

Urban areas (not Class A), suburbs, industrial areas and wooded land.

C

Areas scattered with obstacles (trees, houses, walls, fences, ......); areas with roughness not attributable to Classes A, B and D.

D

Areas free from obstacles (open countryside, airports, agricultural areas, pastures, wetlands or sandy areas, snowy or icy areas, seas, lakes, .....)

Assignment of roughness class does not depend on the plate structure of the land. So that a construction can be placed in Class A or B, the area distinguishing the classes must continue around the construction for not less than 1km and not less than 20 times the height of the construction. Where there are doubts about the roughness class, in the absence of detailed analysis, the least favourable class will be assigned.

zmax = 200m is assumed as recommended.

3.3 (2)

Note 3

The strategy in Point A.4 of Annex A is followed, depending on the consequence class, with the following amendment: for consequence Class 3 structures, further to than that which is provided for structures in consequence Class 2, deeper analysis must be carried out, which may also include risk analysis.

3.4 (1)

Note 4

The following classification, not intended to be exhaustive, is adopted, and must be accompanied by a case-by-case assessment.

Consequence class

Examples of classification of structures

CC1

Constructions where people are only occasionally present, agricultural buildings.

CC2 low risk

Constructions used for normal levels of people, without contents which are a danger to the environment and without essential public and social functions. Industries with activities which are not a danger to the environment. Bridges, structures, road networks which do not fall into higher consequence Classes.

CC2 high risk

Constructions used by significant amounts of people. Industries with activities which are a danger to the environment. Non-urban road networks which do not fall into Consequence Class 3. Bridges and rail networks whose interruption may cause emergency situations.

CC3

Constructions with important public or strategic functions, also with reference to the management of civil protection in case of disaster. Industries with activities which are a particular danger to the environment. Bridges and rail networks of critical importance for maintenance of communication channels.
