buildings
Annex B (normative)
Basis of design - supplementary clauses to ENV 1991-1 for
bridges
Annex C (informative)
Construction loads during casting of concrete

Gives general principles and actions for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works which include geotechnical aspects and should be used in conjunction with ENV 1992-1999. Can be used also as a basis for the design of structures which are not covered in ENV 1992-1999 and where other materials or structural design actions are involved.
