Publishing information
This Published Document is published by BSI and came into effect on
31 December 2008. It was prepared by Subcommittee B/525/1, Actions
(loadings) and basis of design, under the authority of Technical
Committee B/525, Building and civil engineering structures. A list of
organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
its recommendations.
Presentational conventions
The provisions in this Published Document are presented in roman
(i.e. upright) type. Its recommendations are expressed in sentences in
which the principal auxiliary verb is “should”.
Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented
in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.
The word “should” is used to express recommendations of this
Published Document. The word “may” is used in the text to express
permissibility, e.g. as an alternative to the primary recommendation
of the clause. The word “can” is used to express possibility, e.g. a
consequence of an action or an event.
Notes and commentaries are provided throughout the text of this
Published Document. Notes give references and additional information
that are important but do not form part of the recommendations.
Commentaries give background information.
Introduction
When there is a need for guidance on a subject that is not covered
by the Eurocode, a country can choose to publish documents that
contain non‑contradictory complementary information that supports
the Eurocode. This Published Document provides just such information
and has been cited as a reference in the UK National Annex to
BS EN 1991-1-7:2006.
NOTE This Published Document refers to design values for accidental
actions. In the UK National Annexes to BS EN 1990:2002 Annex A1
and Annex A2, the safety factors for accidental actions are equal to 1.
Therefore the nominal value and the design value for accidental actions
are numerically the same. The nominal values and design values of an
action are defined in BS EN 1990:2002 1.5.2.2 and 1.5.3.21 respectively.
1 Scope
This Published Document gives non‑contradictory complementary
information for use with BS EN 1991-1-7:2006 and its UK National
Annex.

2.1.1 For road bridges and foot and cycle track bridges
2.1.1.1 The following provisions should be considered in the design
of road bridges and foot and cycle track bridges in order to reduce
the risk of a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) impact on a support causing
bridge collapse:
a) Preventing direct impacts on the supports, for example by
protecting supports with very high containment level barriers
as defined in BS EN 1317-2. This provision has the added benefit
that it will reduce the risk to HGV drivers and the drivers of other
vehicles on the same carriageway, by re-directing vehicles safely
onto the carriageway after impact. This provision should be seen
as part of the design of the bridge.
b) Designing the supports in the form of multiple columns so that
a support can withstand impact damage to a struck column, and
even its loss, without the deck above becoming unstable.
c) Designing the deck structure of road bridges in a form so that
even the loss of part of a support would not result in the collapse
of the bridge. For foot and cycle track bridges, adequate restraint
to the deck should be provided to prevent the deck from being
removed from the support due to an HGV impact on the deck.
d) Designing the individual column supports so that they can
withstand an HGV impact without losing their ability to support
the bridge.
2.1.1.2 Provisions 2.1.1.1b) and 2.1.1.1c) should be part of general
design practice. However they do not ensure that collapse cannot

Table 1 Equivalent static design forces due to vehicular impact on members supporting foot and cycle
track bridges over or adjacent to roads
c) Risk Ranking Procedure for foot and cycle track bridge supports
1) The risk ranking procedure should be the same as that set out
in NA to BS EN 1991-1-7:2006, NA.2.11.2.3, except that the
consequence factor F8 given in NA to BS EN 1991-1-7:2006,
NA.2.11.2.3.11, is to be replaced by Table 2.
Bridge usage F8
i) Rarely used – e.g. in rural locations and sparsely 0,1
populated areas
ii) Lightly used – e.g. in sub-urban locations 0,5
iii) Generally used – e.g. in urban areas 1
iv) Heavily used – e.g. at motorway services with shared 5
facilities or access to major public assembly facilities
such as schools, sports stadiums, public transportation
facilities, etc.

Fdx = v(mK)½
where:
v is the ship’s velocity;
K = 12 MN/m for 0 < m G 3 000 tonne;
K = 25.6 MN/m for 3000 < m G 10 000 tonne;
K = 57.6 MN/m for 10000 < m G 40 000 tonne.
b) The lateral force Fdy may be taken as half the values above for Fdx.
