( EN 1998-2 ): Focused on the seismic design of new bridges. It emphasizes ductility and capacity design to ensure structural integrity and the continuation of emergency traffic after an event.

The standard is divided into six distinct parts, each covering different types of structures and technical requirements: EN 1998: EUROCODE 8 DESIGN OF STRUCTURES FOR EA...

( EN 1998-3 ): Provides criteria for evaluating the seismic performance of existing buildings and selecting appropriate corrective or retrofitting measures. ( EN 1998-2 ): Focused on the seismic design of new bridges

(EN 1998-4): Addresses the structural design of facilities used for storage (tanks, silos) and transport (buried or above-ground pipelines). (EN 1998-4): Addresses the structural design of facilities

, or Eurocode 8 , provides the standards for the design and construction of buildings and civil engineering works in seismic regions. Its primary goals are to protect human lives, limit structural damage, and ensure that critical infrastructure remains operational after an earthquake. Structure of Eurocode 8

( EN 1998-1 ): Covers fundamental performance requirements and the representation of seismic actions (response spectra). It includes specific design rules for buildings made of concrete, steel, composite materials, timber, and masonry.
