Scope of Eurocode 6 (1)P Eurocode 6 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works, or parts thereof, in unreinforced, reinforced, prestressed and confined masonry. (2)P Eurocode 6 deals only with the requirements for resistance, serviceability and durability of structures. Other requirements, for example, concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered. (3)P Execution is covered to the extent that is necessary to indicate the quality of the construction materials and products that should be used and the standard of workmanship on site needed to comply with the assumptions made in the design rules. (4)P Eurocode 6 does not cover the special requirements of seismic design. Provisions related to such requirements are given in Eurocode 8 which complements, and is consistent with Eurocode 6. (5)P Numerical values of the actions on buildings and civil engineering works to be taken into account in the design are not given in Eurocode 6. They are provided in Eurocode 1. Scope of Part 1-1 of Eurocode 6 (1)P The basis for the design of buildings and civil engineering works in masonry is given in this Part 1-1 of Eurocode 6, which deals with unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry where the reinforcement is added to provide ductility, strength or improve serviceability. The principles of the design of prestressed masonry and confined masonry are given, but application rules are not provided. This Part is not valid for masonry with a plan area of less than 0,04 m2. (2) For those types of structures not covered entirely, for new structural uses for established materials, for new materials, or where actions and other influences outside normal experience have to be resisted, the principles and application rules given in this EN may be applicable, but may need to be supplemented. (3) Part 1-1 gives detailed rules which are mainly applicable to ordinary buildings. The applicability of these rules may be limited, for practical reasons or due to simplifications; any limits of applicability are given in the text where necessary. (4)P The following subjects are dealt with in Part 1-1: section 1 : General; section 2 : Basis of design; section 3 : Materials; section 4 : Durability; section 5 : Structural analysis; section 6 : Ultimate Limit State; section 7 : Serviceability Limit State; section 8 : Detailing; section 9 : Execution; (5)P Part 1-1 does not cover: resistance to fire (which is dealt with in EN 1996-1-2); particular aspects of special types of building (for example, dynamic effects on tall buildings); particular aspects of special types of civil engineering works (such as masonry bridges, dams, chimneys or liquid-retaining structures); particular aspects of special types of structures (such as arches or domes); masonry where gypsum, with or without cement, mortars are used; masonry where the units are not laid in a regular pattern of courses (rubble masonry); masonry reinforced with other materials than steel.
