Implementation of Eurocode 8 in Croatia
Abstract eng: For many years Eurocodes are applied for structural design in Croatia. During these years many questions have been opened and verifications have been made to define National Application Documents in the application of ENV Eurocode series. Now analysis are performed to enable the acceptance of final EN Eurocode standards. Most uncertainties and questions were connected with Eurocode 8 which is of specific importance for Croatia since 92 percent of state teritory is earthquake prone (MSK intensities 7° and above). This paper considers specially earthquake design response spectra, design ductilities (DCL, DCM and DCH) and material selection. Experiences gained will serve when decision will be made about National Determined Parameters. Solutions are directed to find acceptable reliability and safety for earthquake resistant structures with reasonable cost increase.
