EN 1990 Eurocode - Standard Test for Basis of Structural Design

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1990 testing. EN 1990 specifies Principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability and durability of structures, defines the basis for their design and verification, and gives guidelines for relevant aspects of structural reliability.

EN 1990 is intended for use in conjunction with EN 1991 to EN 1999 for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works, including geotechnical aspects, structural fire design, earthquake, application and situations involving temporary structures.

For the design of special civil works (eg nuclear plants, dams, etc.), provisions other than those in EN 1990 to EN 1999 may be required. EN 1990 applies to the design of structures involving other materials or other actions outside the scope of EN 1991 to EN 1999.

EN 1990 applies to the structural evaluation of existing construction, the improvement of the design of repairs and alterations, or the evaluation of changes in use.

EN 1990 is designed for use by:

• Committees that prepare standards for structural design and related product, testing and application standards;
• Customers (for example, for the formulation of their specific requirements on reliability levels and durability);
• designers and builders;
• Relevant authorities.

When relevant, EN 1990 can be used as a guiding standard for the design of structures outside the scope of Eurocodes EN 1991 to EN 1999 for:

• Evaluate other actions and their combinations;
• Modeling material and structural behavior;
• Evaluation of the numerical values ​​of the reliability format.
