EN 1991-1-1: Classification of Actions

Self-weight of construction works: 

l generally a Permanent Fixed action,

l If Free (e.g. moveable partitions) then treat as an

additional imposed load.

l Ballast and earth loads on roofs/terraces: Permanent with

variations in properties (moisture content, depth) duringthe design l ife being taken into account.

l If Variable with time then represented by upper and lower 

characteristic values, and

Imposed loads on buildings :

l generally Variable Fixed or Variable Free actions

EN 1991-1-1: Classification of Actions

Imposed loads on buildings :l generally Variable Fixed or Variable Free actions

l Imposed loads generally quasi-static and allow for smalldynamic effects in static structures. When dynamicresponse possible, a dynamic analysis is recommendedas per the National Annex

l Actions causing significant acceleration of structuralmembers are classified as dynamic and need to beconsidered via a dynamic analysis

l For fork-lift trucks and helicopters additional inertial

loads from hoisting and take-off/landing are accountedfor through a dynamic magnification factor applied toappropriate static load values

EN 1991-1-1: Design Situations –

Permanent Loads

l The total self-weight of s tructural and non-structural

members may be taken as a single action when

combinations of actions are being considered

l Where it is in tended to add or remove structural or non-

structural members after construction critical load cases

need to be identif ied and taken into account.

loads

l For roofs of buildings, imposed loads should not be

considered to act simul taneously with snow loads or wind

actions.

EN 1991-1-1: Densities of construction and

stored materials

l Characteristic values of densities of construction andstored materials should generally be used in theexpressions for combination of actions.

l Where only mean values available , they should be takenas characteristic values in the design. Mean values for alarge number of different materials are given in EN 1991-1-1 Annex A.

l For materials not in Annex A either:- the characteristic value of density needs to bedetermined as per EN 1990, where a normal distribut ionmay be assumed or,

- a reliable direct assessment carried out perhaps uti lisingEN 1990 Annex D.

EN 1991-1-1: Treatment of movable partitions

 As in BS6399 Part 1, loads due to moveable partit ions are treated as

imposed loads but in a slightly different way as follows.

Provided that a floor allows a lateral distr ibut ion of loads, the self-weight

of movable partitions may be taken into account by a uniformly

distributed load q k which should be added to the imposed loads of 

floors. This defined uniformly distributed load is dependent on the

self-weight of the partitions as follows:l for movable partitions with a self-weight ≤ 1,0 kN/m wall

length: q k =0,5 kN/m2;

l for movable partitions with a self-weight ≤ 2,0 kN/m walllength: q k =0,8 kN/m2;

l for movable partitions with a self-weight ≤ 3,0 kN/m wall

length: q k =1,2 kN/m2.

EN 1991-1-1: Imposed loads on buildings

Loads arise due to occupancy and the values given in EN 1991-1-1account for 

l normal use by persons

l furniture and moveable objects,

l vehicles

l rare events such as concentrations of people and furniture dur ingtimes of re-organisation and refurbishment

l Floor and roof areas in buildings are sub-divided into 11 categories according to use; loads specified are represented by uniformly distributed loads (UDL), concentrated loads , line loads or combinations thereof.

l

Heavy equipment such as may be found in communal kitchens or boiler rooms are specifically excluded from EN 1991-1-1. Need to beagreed with the Client and the relevant Authori ty for specific projects.

EN 1991-1-1: Remarks on imposed load

• Effect of actions that cannot exist simultaneously

should not be considered together (EN 1990).

• For local verification concentrated load Q k actingalone should be considered.

•• Reduction factorsReduction factors ψ ψ andand ααnn should not be considered

together..

• For the design of a column loaded from severalstoreys, load distributed uniformly.

• For the design of a floor structure within one storey,

the imposed load shall be considered at the mostunfavourable part of the influence area.

EN 1991-1-1: Imposed loads on bui ldings: Fork

lift and transport vehiclesFork lifts and transpor t vehicles

l Forklifts are classified into 6 classes via their hoisting capacity, whichis reflected in other characteristics such as weight and plandimensions.

l

For each class, a static axle load is defined which is then increasedby a dynamic multiplication factor dependent on whether the forklifthas solid (2,0 ) or pneumatic tyres (1,4 ). That factor is intended toaccount for the inertial effects caused by acceleration anddeceleration of the hoisted load.

l Where transport vehicles move on floors, either freely or guided byrails, the actions need to be determined from the pattern of the

vehicle’s wheel loads. The static value of those wheel loads isdetermined from permanent weights and pay loads and the spectraof loads should be used to define appropr iate combination factorsand fatigue loads.

parapets for car parksThe horizontalcharacteristic force F (inkN), normal to anduniformly distributedover any length of 1,5 mof a barrier for a car park, required towithstand the impact of a vehicle is given by theexpression below:

(Clause B(2) of BS EN 1991-1-1:2002)

F = 0,5mv 2 / (δc + δb)

Where :

lm is the gross mass of the vehicle in (kg)

lv is the velocity of thevehicle (in m/s) normal

to the barrier lδc is the deformationsof the vehicle (in mm)

lδb is the deformationsof the barrier (in mm)

Example The graph below shows the variation of F for various deformations for 

the vehicle and the barrier for a car of mass 1500kg.

Thus for δb = 0 and δc = 100, F = 150kN

Thus for δb = 100 and δc = 50, F = 100kN

Comment

l Ranges generally permit the insertion of values from

current practice i.e. insertion of appropriate values from

BS 6399 Parts 1 and 3.

l

BS EN 1990 recommends partial factors for loads of - self-weight 1,35 (c.f. UK 1,4), and

- imposed 1,5 (c.f. UK 1,6)

l Thus direct insertion of UK values with EN 1990 factors

will produce smaller ultimate limit state design loads.

l Clause 2.2(3) ‘Dynamically Susceptible Structures’ 

The NA essentially g ives the design gu idance from BS6399 Part 1.

l Clause 5.2.3 Additional Provisions Specific for Bridges 

The NA gives values for the upper and lower characteristic values of the

nominal depth and density of ballast taking into account consolidation (if 

appropr iate), self-weight of surface coatings and cables, pipes and service

ducts and other non-structural elements such as bridge furniture.

l Clauses 6.3.1.1 Categories and 6.3.1.2 Values of Actions for residential, social, commercial and administrative areas 

The NA sub-categories and gives corresponding load values for the

categories in Table 6.1 of EN 1991-1-1. Sub-categories - essentially as Table 1of BS6399 Part 1. Clause 6.3.1.2 gives methods for determining reduction

factors for loaded areas of floors and imposed loads in columns from several

storeys. The NA insists that the BS6399 Part 1 reduction factors should e

used.

Differences in scope between EN 1991-1-1 and

BS 6399: Part 1

l The scope of EN 1991-1-1 is more comprehensive than

that of BS6399 Part 1. EN 1991-1-1 provides values for 

more types of imposed loads, and also covers imposed

loads on roofs (covered by BS6399 Part 3), and the

information g iven in BS 648.

l Two areas which are in BS6399 but not in EN 1991-1-1:

- accidental loads on key or protected elements which are

given in EN 1991-1-7, and

- vertical loads on parapets, barriers and balustrades.
