This Published Document is a background paper that gives non-contradictory complementary information for use in the UK with BS EN 1991‑1‑4:2005 and its UK National Annex.

This Published Document gives:

  1. background to the decisions made in the National Annexes for some of the Nationally Determined Parameters;

  2. commentary on some specific subclauses from BS EN 1991‑1‑4:2005 ; and

  3. additional data that can be used in conjunction with BS EN 1991‑1‑4:2005 .
