(2)P The provisions of Part 5 generally apply to buildings (Parts 1-1, 1-2, 1-3), bridges (Part 2), towers, masts and chimneys (Part 3), silos, tanks and pipelines (Part 4). (3)P Specialized design requirements for the foundation of certain types of structures, when necessary, shall be found in the relevant Parts of Eurocode 8.
