(EN 1998-4): Addresses the structural design of facilities used for storage (tanks, silos) and transport (buried or above-ground pipelines).
( EN 1998-2 ): Focused on the seismic design of new bridges. It emphasizes ductility and capacity design to ensure structural integrity and the continuation of emergency traffic after an event. EN 1998: EUROCODE 8 DESIGN OF STRUCTURES FOR EA...
( EN 1998-5 ): Covers soil-structure interaction, foundation systems, and the design of earth-retaining structures under seismic conditions. (EN 1998-4): Addresses the structural design of facilities
, or Eurocode 8 , provides the standards for the design and construction of buildings and civil engineering works in seismic regions. Its primary goals are to protect human lives, limit structural damage, and ensure that critical infrastructure remains operational after an earthquake. Structure of Eurocode 8 ( EN 1998-5 ): Covers soil-structure interaction, foundation
The standard is divided into six distinct parts, each covering different types of structures and technical requirements:
