    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Published Document contains non-contradictory complementary information and additional guidance for use in the UK with BS EN 1996-1-1 and BS EN 1996-2.

    BS EN 1996-1-2 and BS EN 1996-3 are not specifically dealt with, but this Published Document may be relevant.

    Most of the material in this Published Document is taken from those parts of BS 5628-1, BS 5628-2, BS 5628-3 and BS 5977-2 that were not contradictory to the new BS EN 1996 series, but had to be withdrawn when those British Standards were withdrawn.

    This Published Document does not cover the detailing of components for seismic design.
