SECTION 2 BASIS OF DESIGN
2.1 Requirements
2.1.1 Basic requirements
(1)P The design of concrete structures shall be in accordance with the general rules
given in
EN 1990.
(2)P The supplementary provisions for concrete structures given in this section shall
also be
applied.
(3) The basic requirements of EN 1990 Section 2 are deemed to be satisfied for
concrete
structures when the following are applied together:
- limit state design in conjunction with the partial factor method in accordance with
EN 1990,
- actions in accordance with EN 1991,
- combination of actions in accordance with EN 1990 and
- resistances, durability and serviceability in accordance with this Standard.
Note: Requirements for fire resistance (see EN 1990 Section 5 and EN 1992-1-2) may dictate a greater
size of
member than that required for structural resistance at normal temperature.

2.1.2 Reliability management


(1) The rules for reliability management are given in EN 1990 Section 2.
(2) A design using the partial factors given in this Eurocode (see 2.4) and the partial
factors
given in the EN 1990 annexes is considered to lead to a structure associated with
reliability
Class RC2.
Note: For further information see EN 1990 Annexes B and C.

2.1.3 Design working life, durability and quality management


(1) The rules for design working life, durability and quality management are given in
EN 1990
Section 2.
2.2 Principles of limit state design
(1) The rules for limit state design are given in EN 1990 Section 3.
2.3 Basic variables
2.3.1 Actions and environmental influences
2.3.1.1 General
(1) Actions to be used in design may be obtained from the relevant parts of EN 1991.
