Abstract
Provides guidance on the use of BS EN 1991-1-4, and the relative UK National Annex and complementary guidance. The main changes from the existing guidance on the superseded BS 6399-2 is that the Eurocode covers buildings and civil engineering works and has a more comprehensive approach to dynamic response, including vortex shredding and other aerodynamic instabilities.
