National Annex (informative) to BS EN 1992-4, Eurocode 2: Design of

concrete structures — Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete
Introduction
This National Annex has been prepared by BSI Subcommittee B/525/2, Structural use of concrete. In the
UK it is to be used in conjunction with BS EN 1992-4:2018.

NA.1 Scope
This National Annex gives:
a) the UK decisions for the Nationally Determined Parameters described in the following subclauses of
BS EN 1992-4:2018 (see NA.2):

— 4.4.1(2)
— 4.4.2.2(2)
— 4.4.2.3
— 4.4.2.4

— 4.7(2)
— C.2(2)
— C.4.4(1)
— C.4.4(3)
— D.2(2)
b) the UK decisions on the status of BS EN 1992-4:2018 informative annexes (see NA.3); and
c) references to non-contradictory complementary information (see NA.4).

NA.2 Nationally Determined Parameters

NA.2.1 Values for partial factors for actions, γind and γF,fat [BS EN 1992-4:2018, 4.4.1(2)]
The recommended values of γind and γF,fat should be used.

NA.2.2 Values for partial factors for resistance (static, quasi static, accidental and
seismic loading) [BS EN 1992-4:2018, 4.4.2.2(2)]
The values recommended in BS EN 1992-4:2018, Table 4.1, should be used.

NA.2.3 Values for partial factors for resistance, γMs,fat, γMc,fat, γMsp,fat and γMp,fat
(fatigue loading) [BS EN 1992-4:2018, 4.4.2.3]
The recommended values of γMs,fat, γMc,fat, γMsp,fat and γMp,fat should be used.

NA.2.4 Value for partial factor for serviceability limit state, γM [BS EN 1992-4:2018, 4.4.2.4]
The recommended value of γM should be used.

NA.2.5 Value of admissible tensile stress for the definition of uncracked concrete, σadm
[BS EN 1992-4:2018, 4.7(2)]
The recommended value of σadm should be used.

NA.2.6 Category of seismic performance categories [BS EN 1992-4:2018, C.2(2)]

BS EN 1992-4:2018, Table C.1, should be used to categorize seismic performance.

NA.2.7 Determination of horizontal seismic action effects on non-structural elements

[BS EN 1992-4:2018, C.4.4(1)]
BS EN 1992-4:2018, Formula (C.3), should be used in combination with BS EN 1998-1:2004+A1:2013,
Formula (4.24), to determine the horizontal seismic action effects of seismic action on non-structural
elements.

NA.2.8 Determination of vertical seismic action effects on non-structural elements

[BS EN 1992-4:2018, C.4.4(3)]
BS EN 1992-4:2018, Formula (C.5), should be used to determine the vertical seismic action effects on
non-structural elements.

NA.2.9 Values of partial factor for materials in fire conditions, γM,fi

[BS EN 1992-4:2018, D.2(2)]
The recommended values of γM,fi should be used.

NA.3 Decisions on the status of informative annexes
