What is this BS EN 1995-1-1+A2 about? 

BS EN 1995-1-1+A2 gives general design rules for timber structures together with specific design rules for buildings. 

Note: The following subjects are dealt with in EN 1995-1-1+A2: 

• Section 1: General 
• Section 2: Basis of design 
• Section 3: Material properties 
• Section 4: Durability 
• Section 5: Basis of structural analysis 
• Section 6: Ultimate limit states 
• Section 7: Serviceability limit states 
• Section 8: Connections with metal fasteners 
• Section 9: Components and assemblies 
• Section 10: Structural detailing and control 

BS EN 1995 is intended to be used in conjunction with: 

• EN 1990:2002 Eurocode – Basis of design 
• EN 1991 “Actions on structures” 

BS EN 1995-1-1+A2 does not cover the design of structures subject to prolonged exposure to temperatures over 60°C.
