000009570 520__ $$2eng$$aA Manual (IStructE/AFPS, 2008) has been prepared to assist practising design engineers in implementing the provisions of the new European seismic standard, Eurocode 8 (EC8). EC8 contains a number of innovative features, and has significant differences from previous seismic standards, but despite various sources of advice being available, the practising engineer still faces a formidable task in implementing it for the first time. The UK Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), in conjunction with SECED (the UK branch of IAEE) and its French counterpart society AFPS therefore decided to prepare a Manual on EC8. It is intended to form a standalone source for the seismic design of common building types, limited to steel and concrete (but not composite) construction, not more than 40m tall and without highly irregular configurations in plan or elevation. The Manual forms part of a suite of Manuals on the Eurocodes planned or published by IStructE. It simplifies the provisions of EC8 by limiting the scope of buildings covered, provides charts and tables to assist in computation and gives explanatory text, particularly where EC8 may be incomplete or somewhat imprecise. Where more recent information has become available since publication of EC8, further advice is provided. Although neither the UK nor (generally) France is an area of high seismicity, the Manual is also intended to assist engineers designing in other, more seismically active countries. The Manual is expected to be published during 2008, with parallel texts in French and English.
