  31. Background Documents and other supporting material • Almost all Eurocodes represent the state-of-the-art in the respective scientific and technical field at the time of their drafting • The scientific and technical basis of EN 1991 included mainly : - the systematic review of the existing relevant national codes and practices - consideration of relevant international standards (e.g. ISO Standards) or codes (e.g. JCSS Model Codes) - recent (prenormative) research results (e.g. European Snow Map) - calibration of load models based on probabilistic approaches and appropriate measurements (e.g. traffic loads for road bridges)

  32. Background Documents and other supporting material (cont.) - Well-established relevant international literature • Strictly speaking, as Background Documents (BD)are considered all of the aforementioned material that has been taken into account by the relevant Project Team, during the drafting of the Eurocodes. • All other relevant material, including literature, workshops and seminars, handbooks, guides and books or articles, are considered to be additional information and supporting material. A typical example are the 5 handbooks prepared in the framework of a Leonardo Da Vinci European Project (Handbook 3is very closely linked to EN 1991, since it is dedicated to “Action Effects on Buildings”, and Handbook 4is dedicated to the “Design of Bridges”). This material is accessible on the Eurocodes website.

  33. Background Documents and other supporting material (cont.) • The uploading of the Background Documents (BD) for EN 1991 is under way by the Secretary of EN/TC250/SC1. Until recently BD have been uploaded for the following Parts of EN 1991 : - EN 1991-1-1 - EN 1991-1-2 - EN 1991-1-3 - EN 1991-1-6 - EN 1991-1-7 and Handbooks 1 to 5 • Additional information can also be found in the relevant websites, e.g. http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu, and other links (e.g. NSO et al.)

  34. Present and Future of the EN 1991 • On national level : Full implementation. Several countries have already issued their national standard EN 1991, but uploading of the NDPs in the ad-hoc data base of JRC Ispra goes is still in progress • Some prospects for the future : - Establishing additional load models for new railway loads - Including eventually the ISO Standards on “Waves and Currents” and on “Atmospheric Icing” - Extending the Eurocodes to include structural glass, FRP, membrane structures (- Extending the snow map and other climatic data to cover the new EU Member States)
