Eurocode 1 handbook — Actions
Volume 3: Bridge loads — Fundamentals of structural design and actions on bridges

(Please note: This product is only available in German.)

There are well over 100,000 bridges in Germany, 40,000 of which are the responsibility of the federal government alone. Bridges offer many advantages and, in some cases, there is no alternative; however, the safety aspect is important, which primarily results from the load-bearing capacity. This book brings together all the documents and excerpts from Eurocode 1 that help to understand and calculate the actions on bridge structures and to calculate them correctly during planning and construction.

The selected documents and passages provide planners and contractors as well as inspectors and authorities with the necessary information for the specific task of calculating bridge loads. The handbook is also intended to prepare students of civil engineering for structural design in the field of bridges. “Eurocode 1 handbook — Actions, Volume 3” contains:

The full original text of:

• DIN EN 1991-2:2010-12, Actions on structures — Part 2: Traffic loads on bridges
• DIN EN 1991-2/NA:2012-08

Included excerpts:

• DIN EN 1990:2010-12
• DIN EN 1991-1-1:2010-12
• DIN EN 1991-1-4:2010-12

• DIN EN 1991-1-7:2010-12
   

Easy to use with a focus on the subject matter

The "Eurocode 1 handbook — Actions, Volume 3: Bridge loads” brings together the Eurocodes relevant to the topic, the associated National Annexes and, where applicable, the corresponding residual standard and combines these documents into a continuous text. This significantly improves readability and is the ideal way for users to find the desired text passages and key points.

The Eurocode handbook compilation provides the following benefits:

• Relevant passages at a glance
  By combining the sections on bridge loads, you receive a subject-specific self-contained reference work.
   
• Irrelevant passages omitted
  Sections that do not deal with bridge loads are not printed in this book — the focus is therefore on the relevant passages.
   
• EN regulations and national annexes
  The handbook assigns the regulations in the national annexes to their equivalents in the EN regulations and thus provides a comprehensive overview.

The regulations from the national annexes have been framed for better recognisability, so that the respective national characteristics can be quickly identified.
