1. A PPLICABLE C ODES AND D ESIGN R EFERENCES

The European regulations will be used for the calculation and the design structure:

EN1990:2002. Basis of structural design;

EN1991-1-1:2002. Eurocode 1: Actions on structures. Part 1-1 : General

actions, densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings;

EN1992:2004. Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures. Part 1-1: General

rules and rules for buildings;

EN1998:2004. Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance.

Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings.

2. M ATERIALS P ROPERTIES
Concrete: class C40/50

Steel: class S400 B

3. T EMPERATURE ACTION
Minimum thermal gradient = -25°C

Maximum thermal gradient = +25°C

4. S HRINKAGE
Factor of shrinkage = 2.10-4

5. E ARTHQUAKE
Seismic Acceleration: aN = 0,2g

6. D ESIGN L OADING
6.1. S UBSOIL
Dead Load = 2,5kN/m²

Live Load= 2,5kN/m²
