| Summary: |
| It is the responsibility of each country that introduces Eurocodes in national
standardization to bring national annexes to Eurocodes that regulate nationally
determined parameters in elements specific to each country individually. Institute for
Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina opened this process in 2013. However, the
most specific aspect for each country is related to the natural actions to the structures,
like snow load, wind, seismic and thermal actions. Definition of such parameters require
a comprehensive approach and significant efforts by many stakeholders to uniform levels
of safety in construction in Europe and particular country. Institute for Standardization
of Bosnia and Herzegovina through its technical committee BAS TC 58 – Structural
Design - Eurocodes EN 1990, 1, 7, 8 and 9 and supported by partners from Czech Republic
and hydrometerlogical institutes from Bosnia and Herzegovina produced, adopted and
published national annexes to Eurocodes 1 and 8, that define natural actions to the
structures. This enables structural and civil engineers unique approach to the design of
load bearing engineering structures by applying the most modern codes for structural
design and for highest level of safety in construction practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina. |
