The Designers' Guide to Eurocode series include comprehensive guidance in the form of design aids, indications for the most convenient design procedures, along with worked examples. In addition, background information is included to aid the designer in understanding the reasoning behind, and the objectives of the codes. All of the individual guides work in conjunction with the Designers’ Guide to EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of Structural Design.
The parts of Eurocode 1 covered by this guide, EN 1991-1 and EN 1991-2, address the general actions and traffic loads on civil engineering structures. This Designers’ Guide looks specifically at these actions as they apply to bridges, including full explanation, commentary, examples, and direction to the National Annex documents on each of the following parts and sub-parts of the code -
1-1: Densities, self-weight and imposed loads
1-3: Snow loads
1-4: Wind actions
1-5: Thermal actions
1-6: Actions during execution
1-7: Accidental actions
2 : Traffic loads on bridges
