“Having reached the goal of starting to publish the series

of EN Eurocodes, the construction industry needs all
possible assistance in applying the codes, and making
the necessary transitions from existing national practice.
The ‘Designers’ Guides to the Eurocodes’ series is a very
important step in the process, and should facilitate a
fast and effective transition to the full and successful
adoption of the world’s leading construction design
standards in the UK and wider. I commend them.”

Parts 1–4. Wind Actions
General Rules and Actions on
Buildings
H. Gulvanessian, J. A. Calgaro, P. Formichi, G. Harding
One of the key requirements for the design of buildings is the
specification of the actions that structures need to carry. This
volume will cover the actions that need to be taken into account
for the design of buildings. The book will explain the Eurocode
clauses on densities, self-weight and imposed loads; snow
loads; thermal actions; actions during execution and accidental
actions (including impact loads and explosions). Wind actions
and actions due to fire are covered by other volumes in the
series. The purpose of this handbook is to help the designer
to acquire a good knowledge of the appropriate Eurocodes
parts of EN 1991, which they can use in design. Background
information is given for each clause and relevant worked
examples are provided.
This is the head code for wind actions on structures and
describes the principles and requirements for calculating
design wind loads on structures. It complies with the
requirements of Eurocode EN1990, Eurocode: Basis of
Structural Design, and provides the wind actions necessary to
implement the structural design Eurocodes 2 to 9. The principal
aim of this guide is to provide the user with a commentary on
the interpretation and use of EN1991, Eurocode 1: Actions on
structures – General actions – Part 1-4: Wind actions, and on
the expected changes that will be introduced by the associated
National Annexes. In particular, the opportunity has been taken
to add a commentary on the changes introduced in the UK
National Annex.

and Other Actions on Bridges
J-A. Calgaro, M. Tschumi, N. Shetty and H. Gulvanessian
The design process of a bridge includes several steps. One of the
major steps is the determination of actions and combinations
of actions. These actions are imposed loads due to traffic (road,
pedestrian, railway traffic), climatic actions (wind, snow, thermal
actions), actions due to water or soil subsidence, construction loads
and accidental actions. Of course, the relevant combinations of
actions need to be defined for permanent, transient and accidental
design situations. The purpose of this guide is to help the designer
to acquire a good knowledge of the appropriate Eurocodes (EN
1990 and EN 1991) and parts of these Eurocodes.
Contents
■ General aspects of the design of bridges with the Eurocodes
■ Determination of non-traffic actions for permanent
design situations
■ Traffic loads on road bridges
■ Traffic loads on footbridges
■ Traffic loads on railway bridges
■ Actions during execution
■ Accidental actions
■ Combinations of actions for permanent, transient and
accidental design situations
Structures Exposed to Fire and
Structural Fire Design
T. Lennon, D. Moore, Y. Wang and C. Bailey
This guide takes the form of an introduction to the procedures
required to achieve design solutions for a typical range of
structural elements and assemblies. Worked examples are
included along with appropriate text to illustrate the use of the
Eurocodes for specific design scenarios. As a way of setting the
scene for those unfamiliar with the basic principles of structural
fire engineering design, the next section provides an overview
of the regulatory framework and a description of the commonly
used methods for ensuring compliance with the regulations.

“practitioners need more than principles and RAMP

brings together for those charged with delivering major
infrastructure projects the combined wisdom derived from
years of experience.
I commend its use to anyone embarking on a major project”
Martin Sykes, FIMechE FCIPS
Executive Director: Smarter Procurement, Office of Government Commerce

This handbook describes a process for analysing and responding to risks which can affect
the overall success of projects. It is designed to meet a perceived need for a more rigorous
approach to risk management, which can be applied to all types and stages of investments.
This edition of the handbook incorporates significant changes, with more attention being
devoted to upside risks, general uncertainty, risk efficiency, decision criteria, and the need
for independent validation of appraisals. It also includes new material about public sector
procurement. A new Appendix 12 presents recent evidence about the serious and sometimes
unrecognised risks in major infrastructure projects, both in the UK and abroad, and makes
recommendations for changes in the way these risks are approached.
