This document specifies the principles regarding the design of seismically isolated structures under earthquake effects. This document also describes the principles of construction management and maintenance, since proper construction management and maintenance are important for realizing high quality seismic isolation structures. This document is not applicable to bridges and LNG tanks, although some of the principles can be referred to for the seismic isolation of those structures. This document is not applicable to seismic isolation structures that reduce the vertical response to earthquake ground motions, since this document mainly specifies seismic isolation structures that attenuate the horizontal response to horizontal earthquake ground motions. This document is not a legally binding and enforceable code. It can be viewed as a source document that is utilized in the development of codes of practice by the competent authority responsible for issuing structural design regulations. NOTE This document has been prepared mainly for the seismically isolated structures which have the seismic isolation interface applied between a superstructure and a substructure to reduce the effect of the earthquake ground motion onto the superstructure. In most cases, the substructure refers to the foundation of the structure. However, the substructure in this document consists of a structural system below the isolation interface that has been designed with sufficient rigidity and strength. Examples include locating the isolation interface in a mid-storey of the building or above the bridge piers (see Annex E).

This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual grades and/or strength classes of machine graded structural timber. Additionally it covers the stages of sampling, testing, analysis and presentation of the data.
The standard provides methods to derive strength, stiffness and density properties for structural timber from tests with defect-free specimen.
The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338.
NOTE 1   For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three properties, i.e. bending or tension strength, modulus of elasticity parallel to grain in bending or tension and density need to be determined from test data, other properties can be calculated according to Table 2.
NOTE 2   EN 1912 gives examples of established visual grades assigned to strength classes.

elements of buildings or structures.
This document is only applicable to the applications of cathodic protection to steel in concrete which
are designed with the intention to, and can be demonstrated to, meet the criteria of protection specified
in 8.6. This requires the provision of sufficient performance monitoring systems as specified in 6.3 to
all parts of the structure intended to be protected, in order to assess the extent to which the criteria in
8.6 are met.
This document does not apply to galvanic anodes or systems applied into patch repairs to reduce the
effects of ‘incipient anodes’. This document does also not apply to any form of cathodic protection
systems or other electrochemical treatments that either cannot meet the requirements of 8.6 or are not
provided with the performance monitoring systems (see 6.3) that are necessary to assess whether the
criteria of protection specified in 8.6 are met.
NOTE 1 Annex A gives guidance on the principles of cathodic protection and its application to steel in concrete.
NOTE 2 This document, while not specifically intended to address cathodic protection of steel in any
electrolyte except concrete, can be applied to cathodic protection of steel in other cementitious materials such as
are found, for example, in early 20th century steel-framed masonry, brick and terracotta clad buildings. In such
applications, additional considerations specific to these structures are required in respect of design, materials
and installation of cathodic protection; however, the requirements of this document can be applied to these
systems

(2) For those types of structures not covered entirely, for new structural uses for established materials, for new materials, or where actions and other influences outside normal experience have to be resisted, the provisions given in this Part 1-1 of EN 1996 may be applicable, but may need to be supplemented.
(3) Part 1-1 of EN 1996 gives detailed rules which are mainly applicable to ordinary buildings. The applicability of these rules may be limited, for practical reasons or due to simplifications; any limits of applicability are given in the text where necessary.
(4) Part 1-1 of EN 1996 does not cover:
—   resistance to fire (which is dealt with in EN 1996-1-2);
—   particular aspects of special types of building (for example, dynamic effects on tall buildings);
—   particular aspects of special types of civil engineering works (such as masonry bridges, dams, chimneys or liquid-retaining structures);
—   particular aspects of special types of structures (such as arches or domes);
—   masonry where gypsum, with or without cement, mortars are used;
—   masonry where the units are not laid in a regular pattern of courses (rubble masonry);
—   masonry reinforced with other materials than steel.

The purpose of this document is to extract the methods for determining the yield and ultimate characteristics and ductility of joints and assemblies from test data by reviewing existing standards in Europe, North America and Far East Asia and to provide the basic data for unifying the evaluation methods of parameters by clarifying their similarities and differences. These parameters are applied for determining the seismic performance of timber structures. This document deals with the method for determining the mechanical properties of individual joints and assemblies, and it does not refer to the seismic performance of the entire structure.

This document specifies the characteristics of the following types of dowel-type fasteners:
-   nails;
-   staples;
-   screws;
-   dowels;
-   bolts with nuts.
This document covers dowel-type fasteners for structural use in load bearing timber structures only. This document covers also the following additional intended uses of the screws:
-   to fix roof or cladding elements to the timber structure, with or without insulation layers; and
-   as reinforcement inserted in timber or in a glue laminated timber element to improve its resistance to compression perpendicular to the grain.
This document covers types of dowel-type fasteners, which are manufactured of either carbon steel or stainless steel and which may be coated for the following purposes:
-   corrosion protection (as Type 1 coating);
-   lubrication, to facilitate insertion (as Type 2 coating);
-   withdrawal enhancement and/or collation for nails and staples (adhesive and/or resin coatings) (as Type 3 coating).
This document covers types of dowel-type fasteners, which are manufactured from materials and within the specifications for their geometry related properties, only as they are specified for:
-   nails (see G.1);
-   staples (see G.2);
-   screws (see G.3);
-   dowels (see G.4); and
-   bolts with nuts (see G.5).
This document specifies also the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) procedures of these characteristics and includes provisions for marking of dowel-type fasteners.
This document does not cover dowel-type fasteners treated with fire retardants to improve their fire performance, nor does it cover glued-in rods.
