ÖNORM B 1992-2

This Austrian Standard specifies national parameters to ÖNORM EN 1992-2 and shall be applied jointly with ÖNORM EN 1992-2 in Austria. EN 1992-2 describes the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of concrete structures, together with specific provisions for bridges. It is based on the limit state concept used in conjunction with a partial factor method. EN 1992-2 gives Principles and Application Rules for the design of bridges in addition to those stated in EN 1992-1-1. All relevant clauses of EN 1992-1-1 are applicable to the design of bridges unless specifically deleted or varied by EN 1992-2. It has been appropriate to introduce in EN 1992-2 some material, in the form of new clauses or amplifications of clauses in EN 1992-1-1, which is not bridge specific and which strictly belongs to EN 1992-1-1. These new clauses and amplifications are deemed valid interpretations of EN 1992-1-1 and designs complying with the requirements of EN 1992-2 are deemed to comply with the Principles of EN 1992-1-1. Clauses in EN 1992-2 that modify those in EN 1992-1-1 are numbered by adding "100" to the corresponding clause number in EN 1992-1-1. When additional clauses or sub-clauses are introduced in EN 1992-2, these are numbered by adding "101" to the last relevant clause or sub-clause in EN 1992-1-1. EN 1992-2 also serves as a reference document for other CEN/TCs concerning structural matters.
