European foreword
This document (prEN 1990-1:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250 “Structural
Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all Structural
Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters by CEN.
This document is an amendment to EN 1990:2023 and is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
The following main changes to EN 1990:2023 is included in the amendment:
— inclusion of application rules for:
— towers, masts and chimneys (Clause A.3);
— silos and tanks (Clause A.4);
— structures supporting cranes or other machines (Clause A.5);
— coastal structures (Clause A.6);
— inclusion of combination factors for new categories for imposed loads.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognise the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National An-
nexes.

A.3.5 Combinations of actions
A.3.5.1 Ultimate limit states (ULS)
(1) Combination of actions for ultimate limit states with partial factors on actions should be chosen
depending on the design situation.
NOTE 1 The formula to be used is Formula (8.12), unless the National Annex gives a different choice, see
8.3.4.2(2).
NOTE 2 When using Formula (8.12), the combinations of actions for persistent and transient design situations
are according to Table A.3.3 (NDP), unless the National Annex gives a different choice, see 8.3.4.2(2).
NOTE 3 When using combinations of actions based on Formula (8.13) or Formula (8.14) the value of ξ is 0,85,
unless the National Annex gives a different value.
NOTE 4 As defined in 8.3.2.1, partial factors on actions are used, and Formula (8.4) applies, for the design of:
— linear and non-linear structural systems;
— certain types of geotechnical structure, in accordance with the relevant part of EN 1997.
NOTE 5 The characteristic value of prestressing P can be an upper, a lower, or a single characteristic value, as
k
specified in the other Eurocodes.
NOTE 6 In accidental design situations, the choice between ψ and ψ depends on details of the design situation,
1 2
e.g. impact, fire, or survival after an accidental event or situation. Further guidance is given in the other Eurocodes
and in the National Annex.

less than 1,0.
(3) The value of the partial factor γ on initial prestress of guys should be taken as 1,0.

(4) Ultimate limit states for persistent and transient design situations that involve structural resistance
should be verified using partial factors for verification case VC1.
(5) When variations in the magnitude or spatial variation of permanent actions from a single source (see
6.1.1(4)) are significant, ultimate limit states that involve loss of static equilibrium and/or strength
elements contributing to the equilibrium, should be verified using partial factors for verification cases
VC2(a) and VC2(b), using whichever gives the less favourable design outcome.
(6) Verification of verification case VC2(b) may be omitted when it is obvious that verification using
VC2(a) governs the design outcome.
(7) Ultimate limit states that involve failure of ground should be verified using partial factors for
verification cases VC1, VC2, VC 3 and VC4, in accordance with the relevant part of EN 1997.
