BS EN 1996-3:2006 pdf download.Eurocode 6— Design of masonry structures —— Part 3: Simplified calculation methods for unreinforced masonry structures.
The Eurocode standards provide common structural design rules for everyday use for the design of whole structures and component products of both a traditional and an innovative nature. Unusual forms of construction or design conditions are not specifically covered and additional expert consideration will be required by the designer in such cases.
National Standards implementing Eurocodes
The National Standards implementing Eurocodes will comprise the full text of the Eurocode (including any annexes), as published by CEN. which may be preceded by a National title page and National foreword, and may be followed by a National Annex (informative).
The National Annex may only contain information on those parameters which are left open in the Eurocode for national choice, known as Nationally Determined Parameters, to be used for the design of buildings and civil engineering works to be constructed in the country concerned, i.e.:
— values and/or classes where alternatives are given in the Eurocode,
— values to be used where a symbol only is given in the Eurocode,
— country specific data (geographical, climatic. ctc), e.g. snow map, the procedure to he used where alternative procedures are given in the Eurocode and it may also contain
— decisions on the application of informative annexes, references to non-contradictory complementary information to assist the user to apply the Eurocode.
Links between Eurocodes and harmonised technical specifications (ENs and ETAs) for products.
There is a need for consistency between the harmonised technical specifications for construction products and the technical rules for works4. Furthermore, all the information accompanying the CE
Marking of the construction products which refer to Eurocodes shall clearly mention which Nationally Determined Parameters have been taken into account.
