The EUROCODES
 The EN Eurocodes are a series of 10 European Standards, EN
1990 - EN 1999, providing a common approach for the design of
buildings and other civil engineering works and construction
products
Three official languages (English, French, German)
 These european standards « EUROCODES » are intended to
harmonize the design regulations inside the European union.

The clauses of EUROCODES are composed of the Principles and
Application Rules :
The Principles, identified by the letter (P) comprise the general
statements and definitions for which there is no alternative, as well
as requirements and analytical models for which no alternative is
permitted unless specifically stated.
The Application Rules are generally recognized rules which
comply with the Principles and satisfy their requirements.
 NOTE :
The Eurocodes are applicable for the design of new structures, but the principles, the basic
requirements and the application rules of EN1990 are applicable for the structural appraisal of
existing construction, in developing the design of repairs and alterations or in assessing changes
of use.

EUROCODES establish fundamental requirements in order to reach an appropriate
level of performance in terms of structural reliability mainly :
 The structural SAFETY OF PEOPLE
The SERVICEABILITY and FUNCTIONING of the structure
 The STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY in accidental situations
The DURABILITY, with regard to environmental conditions

• Definition of the applied actions (Actions)
• Properties of the materials
• Definition of the internal forces (Effect of actions)

Origin of Probabilism
A limit state could be reached due to combined effect of several random factors
of uncertainties. The basic idea of probabilism is to limit the probability of
reaching a limit state by taking into account the random character of :
 Uncertainty in material property
 Uncertainty in representative values of actions
 Model uncertainty in actions and action effects (internal forces M,
N, T ..)
 Model uncertainty in structural resistance

PRINCIPLE OF LIMIT STATE DESIGN
A limit state is a condition of a structure beyond which it no
longer fulfills the relevant design criteria.
 Ultimate Limit State (ULS)
 Serviceability Limit State (SLS)
1. Introduction 2. Eurocodes 3. EC0/Semi probabilism 4. Limit States 5. Actions 6. Combinations of Actions
26
Ultime Limit State (ULS)
M. SADEK
 Maximum capacity of the structure (people and structural safety)
 Exceeding ULS Immediate Collapse
Based on Eurocodes, We distinguish the following ULS:
1. Loss of static equilibrium of the structure or any part (EQU)
2. Internal failure or excessive deformation of the structure or structural
members (STR)
3. Failure or excessive deformation of the ground (GEO)
4. Fatigue failure (FAT)

Ultime Limit State (ULS)
M. SADEK

 The SLS are associated with conditions of normal use. They concern
the functioning of the structure, confort of people.
 Strain, vibration, cracking..
We distinguish the following SLS:
1. Stress limitation (Steel & Concrete)
2. Crack control (crack width)
3. Deflection control
Other : Vibration, Thermal or sound insulation…

 Force (N)
10 N = 1 daN = 1 kg (kgf )
1 MN = 103 kN = 100 T (Tf)
 Pressure /Stress (Pa)
1 Pa = 1 N/m²
1 MPa = 106 Pa = 1 N/mm²
1 MPa = 10 bars = 100 T/m²

    8 The clauses ofEUROCODES are composed of the Principles and Application Rules : The Principles, identified by the letter (P) comprise the general statements and definitions for which there is no alternative, as well as requirements and analytical models for which no alternative is permitted unless specifically stated. The Application Rules are generally recognized rules which comply with the Principles and satisfy their requirements.  NOTE : The Eurocodes are applicable for the design of new structures, but the principles, the basic requirements and the application rules of EN1990 are applicable for the structural appraisal of existing construction, in developing the design of repairs and alterations or in assessing changes of use.

    17 M. SADEK Origin ofProbabilism A limit state could be reached due to combined effect of several random factors of uncertainties. The basic idea of probabilism is to limit the probability of reaching a limit state by taking into account the random character of :  Uncertainty in material property  Uncertainty in representative values of actions  Model uncertainty in actions and action effects (internal forces M, N, T ..)  Model uncertainty in structural resistance 1.
