    BS EN 1998 (Eurocode 8) provides guidelines for designing structures in seismic regions to protect human life and limit earthquake damage. It has six parts that specify seismic design rules for various structures like buildings, bridges, tanks, foundations and towers. While Eurocode 8 applies to seismic design in Europe, it is generally unnecessary for use in the UK except for special structures such as nuclear facilities or tall buildings.

    Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance

    BS EN 1998 applies to the design and construction of buildings and civil engineering works
    in seismic regions. The aim of BS EN 1998 is to protect people and limit damage during
    earthquakes.

    It is unlikely that BS EN 1998 needs to be used in the UK, except for special structures (e.g.
    nuclear structures, long span bridges and tall buildings).

    BS EN 1998 Eurocode 8 is in six parts. The specific parts are:

    BS EN 1998-1- General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings


    BS EN 1998-2- Bridges
    BS EN 1998-3- Assessment and retrofitting of buildings
    BS EN 1998-4- Silos, tanks and pipelines
    BS EN 1998-5- Foundations, retaining structures and geotechnical aspects
    BS EN 1998-6- Towers, masts and chimneys
