Experts from CEN/TC 250/SC 1, the technical committee in charge of the maintenance of Eurocode 1 — Actions on structures, will provide a record of the deep technical background that supported the development of the second-generation EN 1991, explain what has changed and why, highlight the benefits of this second generation, and disseminate sources of information useful as design support.
The webinar will cover the full range of actions addressed by EN 1991, including general actions on buildings, actions on structures exposed to fire, climatic actions, wind actions, and actions on bridges, crane-supporting structures, tanks and silos. Key improvements include updated provisions, enhanced ease of use, and greater consistency with EN 1990.
