The load bearing capacity for a component shall refer to the specified actions and combination of<br />
actions, referring to situations for which the loads are predominantly static such that the influence<br />
of repetitive loads need not be considered.<br />
The fatigue strength for steel components shall be determined in accordance with EN 1993<br />
(Eurocode 3) for steel structures and with EN 1999 (Eurocode 9) for aluminium components and<br />
are usually expressed by reference to S-N diagrams.<br />
The resistance to fire shall be determined according to the relevant part of Eurocodes.<br />
In conclusion, the standards does not give specific guidance for the design, as the structural<br />
characteristics shall be determined in accordance the relevant Eurocodes, as follows:<br />
- EN 1990 (Eurocode 0) - Basis of structural design;<br />
- EN 1991 (Eurocode 1)- Actions on structures;<br />
- EN 1993 (Eurocode 3)- Design of steel structures, for steel components;<br />
- EN 1994 (Eurocode 4)- Design of composite structures of steel and concrete, for the steel<br />
parts;<br />
EN 1999 (Eurocode 9)- Design of aluminium structures, for aluminium components.<br />
