Here are key points that might be addressed in DD ENV 1998-1-2:1996:
General Rules for Buildings: The document provides general rules specifically tailored for the seismic design of buildings, considering their unique characteristics and requirements.
Seismic Design Principles: It outlines seismic design principles applicable to various types of buildings, addressing factors such as building height, structural systems, and occupancy.
Structural Analysis: Guidelines for analyzing buildings under seismic loads, considering dynamic effects, response spectra, and other relevant considerations.
Design Spectra: The standard likely provides procedures for determining design spectra that represent the expected ground motion at a specific location due to seismic activity.
Structural Elements: Requirements for designing various structural elements in buildings, such as columns, beams, floors, and connections, to ensure seismic resilience.
Lateral Load Resistance: Considerations for the lateral load resistance of buildings, including the design of lateral force-resisting systems.
Foundation Design: Guidelines for designing foundations to ensure stability and safety under seismic loads.
Risk Categories: Classification of buildings into different risk categories based on factors like occupancy, importance, and consequence of failure.
National Application Document (NAD): The National Application Document provides additional guidance and requirements specific to the United Kingdom. It addresses the implementation of Eurocode 8 within the UK context.
