(1) This standard covers the design and construction of structures (including civil engineering structures)
made from plain, reinforced or prestressed concrete with normal-weight and lightweight aggregate, of strength
classes
-- C12/15toC100/115. and
-- LC12/13 to LC60/66
Where concrete is to be of strength class C90/105 or C100/115, according to DIN 1045-2 further analyses
adjusted to suit the use to which it is to be put, are required.
The specifications of this standard apply to both normal-weight and lightweight concrete of the same strength
unless expressly stated that a specification applies to lightweight concrete only.
(2) This standard also applies to the design and
lightweight concrete of strength class LC8/9. The
derived from the provisions given in 9.1.
construction of unreinforced walls in dwellings made from
concrete parameters required for their design shall then be
(3) This standard only specifies requirements relating to the Ioadbearing capacity, serviceability and durability
of structures. Serviceability analysis ensures the fitness for use, and to some extent the durability, of a
structure. Design limiting values relating to the durability of a structure are binding, the design limiting values
relating to its serviceability are given as guidance values.
(4) This standard does not cover the following
-- members made of no-fines lightweight concrete, aerated concrete, heavyweight concrete and members
containing reinforcement with a Ioadbearing function;
-- special types of construction (e.g. mining shafts)
-- thermal and sound insulation, and structural fire protection.
(5) For the design of certain civil engineering works made of concrete (e.g. bridges, segmental structures,
dams, pressure vessels, offshore platforms, tanks), additional requirements may need to be taken into
consideration.
(6) Additional requirements and analyses are required in the design and construction of structures in seismic
zones (e.g. paying particular attention to the ductility of members and reinforcement).
(7) This standard does not contain provisions relating to the analysis of Ioadbearing capacity of lifting
appliances and lashing equipment, for which reference is made to Code of practice BGR 106 Sicherheits-
regeln fur Transportanker und -systeme von Betonfertigteilen.
