2.4.2.2(2) Partial factors for prestress
The following value shall be applied:
P,unfav

transient design situations.

NOTE 1 The partial factor for precast concrete elements can be used if the elements are covered by a harmonised
product standard or subject to third party surveillance according to DS/EN 13369, Annex E.

NOTE 2 Precast elements subject to transverse load are assumed to exhibit ductile failure if at least one of the follow-
ing conditions is fulfilled:
- Yielding of the reinforcement at failure is documented by measurement.
- Prior to failure, a uniformly distributed crack pattern occurs corresponding to the load applied.
- Prior to failure, deflection exceeds 3/200 of the span.
Other failure modes are regarded as brittle failures. Failure of precast concrete elements subject to axial forces is always
to be assumed to be brittle failure.

NOTE 3 The partial factor for the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of plain concrete c applies to struc-
tures not provided with minimum reinforcement conforming to the rules in this Eurocode. The rules for minimum rein-
forcement can be modified if it is documented by experiments that the type of failure will not differ from the type of
failure for the structure which complies with the rules for minimum reinforcement given in the Eurocode.



Page 8 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011


NOTE 4 The partial factor for the tensile strength of concrete
c
is applied in cases where failure of the concrete is
depending upon tensile failure and/or where the structure is not provided with minimum reinforcement. For beams and
slabs without shear reinforcement and for punching, shear failure can be considered to be compressive failure. For unre-
inforced structures, construction joints not provided with minimum reinforcement, and at anchorages/laps, failure is
assumed to be tensile failure.

The partial factors are determined in accordance with the National Annex to EN 1990, Annex F,
where
M

, where:

1

The reduced inspection level is not to be applied for structures assigned to the high consequences
class.




Page 9 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
The provisions, including the level of inspection, refer to the individual inspection levels specified
in DS/EN 1990 DK NA, DS/EN 13670 and DS 2427.

2.4.2.5(2) Partial factors for materials for foundations
The following value shall be applied: k
f
= 1,0.

3.1.2(4) Strength
The value of kt is determined based on documentation of the concrete strength regarded in relation
to the concrete strength at 28 days.

3.2.7(2) Design assumptions
Assumption b, corresponding to a horizontal top branch, is applied.
For

is used in accordance with the definition given in DS/EN 10080.

4.2 Environmental conditions
The exposure classes defined in DS/EN 206-1 are reproduced in DS/EN 1992-1-1, Table 4.1.

Structural members are assigned to the exposure classes specified in Table 4.1. A structural member
may be subject to several of the exposures contained in Table 4.1, and the environmental conditions
to which the structural member is exposed can be described by a combination of exposure classes.

The exposure classes are related to environmental classes as specified in DS 2426 and reproduced
in Table 4.1 NA. Four environmental classes are used: passive, moderate, aggressive and extra ag-
gressive, designated P, M, A and E, respectively.

The strictest environmental class is applied, corresponding to the ranking P, M, A and E.

For individual structural members, exposed surfaces can be assigned to different exposure classes
depending on the environmental actions.

NOTE Conservative examples of environmental classes to which individual structural members should
normally be assigned are as follows:
- Generally the passive environmental class should include the following structural members:
o structures in indoor dry environments;
o buried foundations belonging to low and normal consequence classes.
- Generally the moderate environmental class should include the following structural mem-
bers:
o foundation piles;
o foundations partly above terrain;



Page 10 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
o buried foundations in high consequence classes;
o external walls and facades;
o external columns;
o external beams with structurally protected surfaces at the top side;
o balcony parapets;
o installation ducts;
o service corridors;
o lift shafts.
- Generally the aggressive environmental class should include the following structural mem-
bers:
o external slabs;
o external beams without structurally protected surfaces at the top side;
o retaining walls;
o light shafts;
o external staircases;
o external basement walls partly above terrain;
o ducts, piles and pits in moderately aggressive ground water;
o structural members in moderately aggressive ground water.
- The extra aggressive environmental class should be considered for the following structural
members:
o access balconies, balcony slabs and balcony corbels;
o parking floors;
o swimming pools;
o bridge piers;
o edge beams on bridges;
o marine structures, e.g. splash zones;
o ducts, piles and pits in highly aggressive ground water;
o structural members in highly aggressive ground water.

Deviation from the examples is allowed if the exposure classes in Table 4.1 and their relation to the envi-
ronmental classes in Table 4.1 NA justify assignment to a lower environmental class. A concrete boundary
can be exposed both through the actual surface and through other surfaces of the structural member.

4.4.1.2(3) Minimum cover, c
min

For circular ducts for post-tensioned structures, the upper limit of c
min,b
is 65 mm.

4.4.1.2(5) Minimum cover, c

Structural classes are not applied.

For tightened and normal inspection levels, the concrete cover shall be at least as specified in Table
4.4N NA for non-prestressed reinforcement in conformity with DS/EN 10080 and as specified in
Table 4.5N NA for prestressing steels.

In the case of reduced inspection levels, the prescribed concrete cover shall be increased by 5 mm.

The values given can be assumed to correspond to a design working life of 50 years.

5.1.3(1)P Load cases and combinations
NOTE - The analysis of continuous beams based on the theory of plasticity may be carried out by verifying that each
bay is capable of resisting the load effects corresponding to the maximum load on the entire bay and the minimum load
on the entire bay, taking for both cases the total values of the restraining moments chosen.

Restraining moments are chosen between the values found by the theory of elasticity and one third thereof. For
continuous beams and slabs of approximately equal spans and uniformly distributed loads, verification of the position of
the restraining moments in relation to the theory of elasticity may be omitted if at restraints and intermediate supports
reinforcement is applied for restraining moments which are taken numerically as not less than 1/3 and not more than
twice the maximum design moments in adjacent spans.

Page 13 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
Normally, the upper limits for cot ensure that no unacceptable shear cracks occur at the servicea-
bility limit state for beams and slabs without prestress. The limits for the strut inclination may be
exceeded if circumstances permit. For example cot may be increased for fully prestressed struc-
tures where shear cracks do not normally cause problems.

Class A steels according to Annex C of EN 1992-1-1 may be used to resist shear, provided that ad-
equate deformation capacity ensures that shear failure can develop as predicted by the shear design.
This can be assumed to be the case if the value applied for cot implies that the overall design rein-
forcement for the structure is a minimum. For statically determinate beams subjected solely to shear
(V), torsion (T) and bending (M), and where vertical stirrups ( = 90

) are used, the values 1 s cot


s 2 may be applied for cot, if T s 0,1V, where T is given in kNm and V in kN.

6.2.3(3) Members requiring design shear reinforcement
The value of

is found on the basis of the complementary information in 5.6.1(3)P.

6.2.4(4) Shear between web and flanges
The recommended value shall be applied where Class B and Class C steels are used according to
Annex C in DS/EN 1992-1-1.

Class A steels according to Annex C of EN 1992-1-1 may be used if adequate deformation capacity
is ensured. This can be assumed to be the case if the value applied for cot implies that the overall
design reinforcement for the flange structure is a minimum.

6.4.5(4) Punching shear resistance of slabs and column bases with shear reinforcement
The following values shall be applied: k = 2,0.

6.5.2(2) Struts
The following value shall be applied: 0,6 v v = ' according to the complementary information in
5.6.1(3)P.

5.2(1)P Geometric imperfections
As an alternative to (5.2) and u
0
, deviations in the geometry of the structure and the position of
loads can be taken into account by applying a minimum value of the horizontal load on the struc-
ture. Reference is made to the rules given in the National Annex to EN 1990. Until these rules are
established, the provisions specified in Annex 3 of the Complementary Information can be applied.

5.6.1(3)P (Plastic analysis) General
General provisions
The determination of internal forces and moments may be based on the theory of plasticity using the
generally acknowledged approximations.

Adoption of the theory of plasticity presupposes that the structure has adequate capacity, i.e. yield-
ing in the reinforcement will develop to a sufficient extent before other failure modes such as insta-
bility intervene in a progressing, ductile failure. When applying the theory of plasticity, verification
of sufficient yield capacity can be omitted if the following conditions are fulfilled:

- The distribution of internal forces and moments does not deviate strongly from that
corresponding to the theory of elasticity. An accurate calculation of the distribution
of internal forces and moments corresponding to the theory of elasticity is not re-
quired. It will normally be adequate to apply a qualified estimate or simple approxi-
mation methods. For lower-bound solutions, the following principle may be used:
Where the reinforcement area associated with plastic design at any point of the struc-
ture is denoted A
sP
and the reinforcement area associated with the elastic solution at
the same point of the structure is denoted A
sE
, the above may be assumed to be ful-
filled if 1/3 A
sE
A
sP
3 A
sE
for all points of the structure. The elastic solution may
be assumed to correspond to the plastic solution where the overall design reinforce-
ment for the structure is a minimum.

- The structure is provided with normal reinforcement, i.e. requirements for minimum
reinforcement are fulfilled and the reinforcement yields at failure.

- Class B and Class C steels only according to Annex C in DS/EN 1992-1-1 are used.

- A stress-strain curve for the reinforcement is used where it is assumed that stress in-
crements do not occur after the point corresponding to the yield strength. Where a
stress-strain curve is used assuming that stress increments occur after the point corre-
sponding to the yield strength, equilibrium as well as compatibility conditions shall
be fulfilled.

- Instability is not a pre-condition for the ultimate limit state.

Satisfactory performance of the structure in the serviceability and ultimate limit states may require
an arrangement of reinforcement that takes account of the actual distribution of internal forces and
moments without redistribution. Where e.g. a plastic solution is adopted disregarding torsional mo-
ments in the design, the reinforcement shall be arranged so that it allows for the actual torsional



Page 19 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
moments, e.g. by using closed stirrups as shear reinforcement and by closing free edges of slabs by
U-stirrups.

Plastic redistribution of the necessary reinforcement, e.g. by applying cot, cf. 6.2.3(2), 6.2.4(4),
6.3.2(2) and Annex F(4) of DS/EN 1992-1-1, requires the use of Class B or Class C steels in ac-
cordance with Annex C of DS/EN 1992-1-1.

For precast concrete elements covered by a harmonised product standard or subject to third party
surveillance according to DS/EN 13369, Annex E, Class B steel, where
uk
5,0 % is replaced by

uk
3,3 %, can be used.

Satisfactory performance of the structure at serviceability limit state may require that the distribu-
tion of internal forces and moments obtained does not deviate significantly from that determined by
the theory of elasticity assuming cracked sections.

Where the action and thus the internal forces and moments depend on the deformation capacity of
the structure, e.g. in structures subject to earth pressure, the structural deformation capacity should
be assessed. Special consideration should be given to the influence of the deformation capacity on
the magnitude of e.g. shear forces and reactions at bearings. For structures where the action at the
serviceability limit state is greater than at the ultimate limit state, e.g. in certain structures subject to
earth pressure, the serviceability limit state should always be assessed.

Design methods, in-plane stress conditions
For in-plane stress conditions, the lower-bound methods of the theory of plasticity, the stringer
method, the strut-and-tie method and division into homogeneous stress fields may be used.

Stringer method

- The stringer method simplifies an in-plane stress condition by assuming that all axial
stresses are adopted by stringers, while the rectangular shear fields adopt the shear
stresses between the stringers. The extension of the shear fields is defined as the dis-
tance between the centroids of the stringers. The intersections between the stringers
are called nodes. The width of the stringers should not exceed 20% of the width of
the adjacent shear field with the smallest length perpendicular to the longitudinal di-
rection of the stringer.

- To resist tension in the stringers, the necessary reinforcement is provided. The varia-
tion of the force of the tension stringers should not be greater than corresponding to
the stringer force increasing from zero to the design yield force over a length corre-
sponding to the anchorage length. The compressive stress of the stringers should not
exceed vf
cd
, where the strength reduction factor v should be taken as v = v
m
, assum-
ing a section provided with normal reinforcement. The force in the compression rein-
forcement shall not be assumed to exceed the design compressive force in the con-
crete. If the reinforcement is assumed to resist forces exceeding half the design force
resisted in the concrete, lap splices shall not be used.

- The reinforcement area and the magnitude of the concrete compressive stress in the
shear fields are calculated using the expressions specified in Annex F. The concrete



Page 20 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
compressive stress is controlled by applying the strength reduction factor given be-
low. It is a prerequisite for the applicability of the method that the shear reinforce-
ment is effectively anchored in the stringers. If shear reinforcement is omitted, the
stringers and the nodes related to the shear fields considered should be designed ac-
cording to the rules applying to the strut-and-tie model.

Strength reduction factor
For the analysis of failure of reinforced concrete, an effective design concrete compressive strength,
vf
cd
, where v is the strength reduction factor, is used.

Unless otherwise specified, the values of the strength reduction factor given in this clause apply,
provided that the reinforcement at least corresponds to the minimum reinforcement.

Where the requirement for minimum reinforcement is not fulfilled, v is determined by:

ck
f
2
= v (f
ck
in MPa) (5.100 NA)

The value determined using (5.100NA) always constitutes a lower limit of the value of .

In the following it is assumed that actions are referred to an orthogonal coordinate system that coin-
cides with the directions of reinforcement.

Pure actions

For combined axial force and bending, a weighted average value of v

ried out between the values of pure axial force and pure bending.

shear and pure torsion.

For cross sections subjected to torsion where the individual subwalls constituting the thin-walled
cross section are reinforced by means of closed stirrups along the perimeter and uniformly distribut-
ed longitudinal reinforcement at both sides, v

slabs, provided that shear reinforcement is arranged along edges subjected to torsion.

For plastic expressions for the resistance of non-shear reinforced members subjected to shear, the
value of the strength reduction factor may be increased, taking into account the favourable influence
of arching action on the concrete strength.

Combined effects for in-plane stress conditions
Where concrete struts contribute to the shear capacity, e.g. in the strut-and-tie models, the strength
reduction factor shall as a maximum be taken as =
v
.

pacity

For nodes, e.g. in the strut-and-tie models and at supports, the strength reduction factor can general-
ly be taken as = 0,8. For nodes where reinforcement is not arranged through the node and node
stress is due solely to an external compression, the strength reduction factor may, however, be taken
as = 1,0.

the strength reduction factor can be disregarded.

6.2.1(2) General verification procedure

Taking account of the effect of bent-up prestressing tendons in the shear zone, the shear resistance
is determined by:

V
Rd
= V
Rd,s
+ V
ccd
+ V
td
+ V
pd
(6.100 NA)

where V
pd
is the force component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the capacity of the bent-
up prestressing tendons.

V
pd
cannot exceed the value corresponding to utilisation of the prestressing tendons up to the design
yield strength or the 0,2% proof strength. The force is determined taking into account the anchorage
capacity, local crushing and splitting of the concrete at reinforcement bends.

Application of bent longitudinal reinforcement as shear reinforcement in beams requires stirrups to
be used simultaneously and that the stirrup reinforcement corresponds at least to the minimum rein-
forcement.

6.2.2(6) Members not requiring design shear reinforcement
The influence of arch effect, if any, at supports may be taken into account by the shear capacity
V
Rd,c
, where the factor taking into account the effect of arching behaviour at supports, is deter-
mined by = 2,0d/x ( 5, where x is the distance from the edge of the support to the cross section
considered. A lower limit for the factor is = 1. Application of values of greater than 1 requires
direct support and adequate anchorage of the reinforcement at the support.




Page 24 of 33
DS/EN 1992-1-1 DK NA:2011
For the length x 2,0d, the effect of the arching action can be combined with the calculation for
shear reinforced beams and slabs as shear reinforcement shall be provided according to (6.8) for
cross sections where V

The shear reinforcement intensity required where V

The above-mentioned rules shall not be used together with 6.2.1(8).

6.2.5(1) Shear at the interface between concrete cast at different times
The minimum reinforcement at the interface between concrete cast at different times is determined
by:

(6.101 NA)


When the interface is kept effectively together by minimum reinforcement, the specified values of c
and can be assumed to apply. If not, conservative values of c and shall be determined.

6.3.2(6) Design procedure
For the analysis of cross sections subjected to combined actions, an effective cross section analo-
gous to that for pure torsion may be assumed as an alternative, the thickness of the individual sub-
walls being adapted to the relevant actions.

The design internal forces and moments acting on the cross section are converted according to elas-
tic or plastic methods into axial and shear stresses in the effective cross section.

The design method for plane stress specified in Annex F is used to determine the necessary rein-
forcement and the magnitude of the concrete compressive stresses in the effective cross section.

The reinforcement determined according to Annex F can be changed to another statically equivalent
reinforcement arrangement, provided that account is taken of the effects of the change in areas close
to beam ends and holes.

For an arbitrary point in the effective cross section it is checked as specified in Annex F that

7.3.2(1)P Minimum reinforcement areas
As an alternative the following may be applied.

Regardless of the analysis, fulfilment of a specific crack width may require a minimum amount of
reinforcement that exceeds the minimum reinforcement. This reinforcement is denoted minimum
reinforcement for control of crack width. The normal minimum reinforcement secures controlled
cracking.

For structures where it is essential that a defined crack width requirement is not exceeded, e.g. for
water proof structures, the following reinforcement ratio for members exposed to pure tension
should be provided:

ribbed and indented reinforcement. If reinforcement with a smooth surface is used, the expression is
multiplied by . For the fine crack system, k = 1 is assumed, taking k = 2 for the coarse crack sys-
tem.

The size of the effective tension area A
c,eff
depends on the crack system considered.
For a structure subject to bending or bending with axial force, A
c,eff
is the largest concrete area the
centroid of which coincides with the centroid of the tension reinforcement, see Figure7.100 NA.

For cross sections subjected to pure tension, A
c,eff
for the fine crack system is the sum of the largest
concrete area the centroid of which coincides with the centroid of the reinforcement. For the coarse
crack system, A
c,eff
is the entire tension area, see Figure 7.100 NA.

The above-mentioned requirement for reinforcement is in particular applied in cases where a structure or
parts thereof to a large or small extent are restrained with respect to shrinkage and/or temperature strains and
where joints are not provided to prevent cracking or where any subsequent repair of single cracks of consid-
erable widths is unacceptable.

8.3(2) Permissible mandrel diameters for bent bars
For reinforcing steels with smooth surfaces the following applies:

The permissible minimum ratio of D/ where D is the inner diameter (bending diameter) to which
bars with diameter may be bent is 2 for bars where 12 mm and 3 for bars where > 12 mm.
The bending diameters stated only indicate what the reinforcing steels will withstand.

Rebending of steels according to DS/EN 10025-2 is permitted for 12 mm if the original bending
diameter D is at least twice the minimum bending diameter. In all other cases the properties of the
reinforcement shall be verified after rebending.

The above applies to bending in cold condition which may take place at temperatures not lower than
-5 C.

When calculating the anchorage capacity, conditions are assumed to be uniform over the anchorage
length concerned. If this is not the case, the length is divided into sub-lengths of uniform conditions
and the anchorage capacity is calculated for each sub-length. The total anchorage capacity is calcu-
lated as the sum of anchorage capacities of the individual sub-lengths. The capacity of the individu-

For the anchorage of bars subjected to tension, anchorage lengths smaller than 10|qk may not be
used, assuming a minimum length of 100 q mm. q takes into account anchorages or laps, where

For the anchorage of bars subjected to compression, anchorage lengths smaller than 15|qk may not
be used, assuming a minimum length of 150 mm.

Stirrups taken into account as shear reinforcement may also be used as transverse reinforcement.

For reinforcement bent with a small diameter it is recommended that transverse reinforcement be
provided to prevent splitting.

Wire fabrics of smooth reinforcement shall be anchored and lapped as non-welded reinforcement.

8.4.4 Design anchorage length
The rules do not apply to reinforcement with a smooth surface. Reference is made to 8.4.3(2).

8.7.3 Lap length
The rules do not apply to reinforcement with a smooth surface. Reference is made to 8.4.3(2).


8.9 Bundled bars
The rules do not apply to reinforcement with a smooth surface.

9.10.3(3) Continuity and anchorage of ties
Laps of reinforcement in joints between precast units may be used provided that the lap in the joint
is surrounded by a cover at least equivalent to the diameter of the reinforcement. The cover shall be
no less than the maximum aggregate size and shall always be at least 10 mm.

C.1(1) General
The requirement for shear strength, cf. the requirement for F
w
in DS/EN 10080, does not apply. The
requirements specified in this standard for the properties of reinforcement cannot normally be as-
sumed to be met at the same time as fulfilment of the requirement for shear strength. The shear
strength value, F
w
, may be specified if documentation can be provided that the reinforcement after

welding continues to meet the requirements specified in this standard for the properties of rein-
forcement.

Tack welded reinforcement of nominal diameter | shall bend 60 when subjected to the bend test
using a mandrel of a diameter size as given in Table C100 NA.

The bend test is carried out across the weld with the weld in the tension zone. After testing, the base
metal of test pieces of tack welded reinforcing steel shall not be fractured or cracked, whereas total
or partial detachment of the cross bar due to fracture of the welded metal or welded line is accepta-
ble. Visual evaluation is carried out.

The Annex applies to reinforcing steels with ribbed surfaces. With the exception of requirements
for anchorage, yield strength range and bendability, the Annex also applies to reinforcing steels
with smooth surfaces according to DS/EN 10080 and DS/EN 10025-2.

Smooth bars of hot-rolled non-alloy structural steels of grades S235, S275 and S355 in accordance
with DS/EN 10025-2 are applicable. The properties appear from DS/EN 10025-2. The requirements
specified in DS/EN 10025-2 shall be fulfilled.

The characteristic value of the yield strength is assumed to be equal to the minimum yield strength
value given in DS/EN 10025-2 for the type concerned.

The properties of reinforcement with a smooth surface according to DS/EN 10080 shall conform to
the Annex with the exception of surface geometry and yield strength range. The characteristic yield
strength f
yk
shall be less than 500 MPa.


C.3(1)P Bendability
The clause applies to reinforcing steels conforming to DS/EN 10080 only. For the purpose of the
test for suitability for bending of reinforcement with a smooth surface, Table 4 of DS/EN 10080 is
omitted and replaced by the following:

Reinforcing steel of nominal diameter shall be bent through 180 around a mandrel having a di-
ameter D equal to for bars of 12 mm and equal to 2 for bars of > 12 mm. After the test, the
test piece shall have no fracture or cracks. Visual examination shall be carried out without the aid of
optical instruments.

For steels according to DS/EN 10025-2 no further testing is required with the exception of identifi-
cation.

F 1(4)
For Class A steels, the reinforcement shall be determined using (F.2)-(F.7). For Class B or Class C
steels, (F.8)-(F.10) may be used.

Annex 1
Design of some columns cast in situ
In housing construction, reinforced columns cast together with beams or slabs may be assumed to
be centrally loaded, eccentric action being accounted for by increasing the axial force in the col-
umn. The approximate calculation may be used provided:
- that < 90, the free column length being taken as equal to the clear length of the column;
- that the column is not subject to significant moments, and that it forms part of a structure
which is restrained against sidesway, and which has commonly used dimensions;
- that the total design action from the floor directly over the column in question is multiplied
by
a) a factor of 2 when the column is subjected to actions unilaterally in two directions
from beams or slabs;
b) a factor of 1,25 when the column is subjected to actions from continuous beams or
continuous slabs. For a beam or slab to be taken as continuous, it shall have approx-
imately the same stiffness on either side of the column. Otherwise, calculation shall
be performed as under a or c, respectively;
c) a factor of 1,5 for all other columns.

Annex 2
Verification of robustness
For structures of low consequence classes and for buildings of normal consequence classes of up to
two storeys where a collapse as a maximum will affect 360 m
2
, the requirement for robustness will
be met by designing for general loads etc. according to the standards.

For buildings of normal consequences classes in general where the main structure of the building
consists of connected walls and floors, the requirements for robustness will normally be fulfilled by
the requirements for ties described in 9.10 of EN 1992-1-1 and this National Annex to EN 1992-1-
1.

For buildings of high consequences classes where the main structure of the building consists of
connected walls and floors that following collapse as stated in the National Annex to DS/EN 1990
can be assumed to constitute a stable static system, the requirements for robustness can normally be
assumed to be fulfilled by the requirements for ties described in 9.10 of DS/EN 1992-1-1 and this
National Annex to EN 1992-1-1.

For other structures, robustness shall be verified according to the National Annex to DS/EN 1990 in
addition to the verification of the requirements for ties.

Annex 3
Calculation of geometric imperfections by means of mass load
Instead of including the effect of a fictitious inclination of vertical structural members, account may
be taken of unfavourable effects of possible deviations of the geometry of the structure and the posi-
tion of loads by adding a horizontal mass load in one of the following ways.

Horizontal mass loads are taken as fixed actions.

All vertical loads are assumed to be capable of giving rise to horizontal mass loads. Horizontal mass
loads are assumed to occur together with the associated vertical loads only.

Horizontal mass loads act at the centres of gravity of the associated vertical loads and are assumed
to be capable of acting in any horizontal direction, but such that this direction is the same for all of
the horizontal mass loads occurring at the same time.

Method 1: Horizontal mass load due to geometric imperfections acting simultaneously with
other horizontal loads
For persistent ultimate limit states and accidental design situations a horizontal mass load of 0,5%
of the design vertical load is added, other horizontal loads being assumed to act at the same time.

The value of the horizontal mass load may be reduced according to the provisions of 5.2(5) regard-
ing the reduction of the value of
0
.


Method 2: Horizontal mass load due to geometric imperfections acting independently of other
horizontal loads
A horizontal mass load of 1,5% of the vertical load is applied. The design value of the horizontal
mass load, A
d
, is determined on the basis of the vertical load as follows:

A
d
= 1,5 % ( K
FI
G
k,j
+ K
FI

Q,1

+ K

The load includes the effect of seismic action. The load does not act simultaneously with other hori-
zontal loads

The horizontal mass load is the smallest horizontal load that shall be assumed to affect a structure.
