DIN EN 1998-2:2011-12

CEN/TC 250 decided in 2008 that no revision of the Eurocodes shall be carried out at least until March 2013. Necessary amendments and corrigenda of the Eurocodes may be published until March 2013. This decision led to a large number of amendments and corrigenda, which were mostly published as separate documents. For better organization and applicability of these documents, the DIN prepares consolidated versions as new versions for all parts of the Eurocode affected by this. These documents then contain the current amendments and corrigenda. In this context, the mentions of replacement are also supplemented accordingly on the Eurocodes. A new edition is also published, even if only the superseding note is to be supplemented. Within the framework of the scope set forth in EN 1998-1:2004, DIN EN 1998-2 contains the particular performance requirements, compliance criteria and application rules applicable to the design of earthquake resistant bridges. European Amendment EN 1998-2:2005/A1:2009 and European Corrigendum EN 1998-2:2005/AC:2010 have been incorporated into this new edition. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-51-06 AA "Erdbeben; Sonderfragen (Sp CEN/TC 250/SC 8)" ("Earthquakes; special issues (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 250/SC 8)").
