(1) EN 1991-1-7 provides strategies and rules for safeguarding buildings and other civil engineering works against identifiable and unidentifiable accidental actions.
(2) EN 1991-1-7 defines:
- strategies based on identified accidental actions,
- strategies based on limiting the extent of localised failure.
(3) The following subjects are dealt with in this part of EN 1991:
- definitions and symbols (Section 1);
- classification of actions (Section 2);
- design situations (Section 3);
- impact (Section 4);
- explosions (Section 5);
- design for consequences of localised failure in buildings from an unspecified cause (informative Annex A);
- information on risk assessment (informative Annex B);
- dynamic design for impact (informative Annex C);
- internal explosions (informative Annex D).(4) Rules on dust explosions in silos are given in EN 1991-4.
