This document specifies requirements for data dictionaries that are used by product catalogues for building services to provide the semantics of their definitions and data modelling. For this purpose, it defines an overall model that contains:
—    subject kinds that allow to distinguish:
—    product subjects representing products in product catalogues;
—    catalogue subjects comprising meta data of product catalogues;
—    various kinds of blocks that collect properties of complex product features, including ports and in/outlets;
—    relationship types that allow to distinguish between different kinds of relationships like isSubtypeOf, hasPart, or hasBlock;
—    property kinds to distinguish between:
—    static properties describing products by providing property values in product catalogues;
—    dynamic properties that describe the behaviour of products;
—    external properties that represent external conditions that influence the behaviour of the product by influencing the values of dynamic properties.
This document also describes a mapping of the overall model to the data dictionary model of ISO 12006-3 by introducing a dictionary meta level.
Finally, to overcome deficiencies of the standards underlying ISO 16757-5 in capturing all aspects of product catalogues, this document provides some rules and recommendations for required data dictionary elements.
This document does not describe how product catalogues have to be organized, and it does not describe any formats for the exchange of product catalogues. Product catalogues are described in ISO 16757-5.

1.1   Scope of EN 1993-1-6
(1) EN 1993-1-6 provides rules for the structural design of plated steel structures that have the form of a shell of revolution (axisymmetric shell).
(2) This document is applicable to unstiffened fabricated axisymmetric shells formed from isotropic rolled plates using both algebraic and computational procedures, and to stiffened axisymmetric shells with different wall constructions using computational procedures. It also applies to associated circular or annular plates and to beam section rings and stringer stiffeners where they form part of the complete shell structure. The general computational procedures are applicable to all shell forms.
(3) This document does not apply to manufactured shells or to shell panels or to elliptical shell forms, except that its computational procedures are applicable to all shell structures. This document does not apply to structures under seismic or other dynamic loading. It does not cover the aspects of leakage of stored liquids or solids.
(4) Cylindrical and conical panels are not explicitly covered by this document. However, the provisions of 9.8 can be used provided that appropriate boundary conditions are taken into account.  
(5) This document defines the characteristic and design values of the resistance of the structure.
(6) This document is concerned with the requirements for design against the ultimate limit states of:
—   plastic failure;
—   cyclic plasticity;
—   buckling;
—   fatigue.
(7) Overall equilibrium of the structure (sliding, uplifting, overturning) is not included in this document. Special considerations for specific applications are included in the relevant application parts of EN 1993.
(8) Detailed formulae for the simple calculation of unstiffened cylinders, cones and spherical domes are given in the Annexes.
(9) Provisions for simple calculations on specific stiffened shell types are given in EN 1993-4-1.
(10) This document is intended for application to steel shell structures. Where no standard exists for shell structures made of other metals, including high strength steels, the provisions of this document are applicable provided the appropriate material properties of the metal are taken into account.
(11) The provisions of this document are intended to be applied within the temperature ranges defined in the relevant EN 1993 application parts.
(12) Where no application part defines a different range, this document applies to structures within the following limits:
—   design metal temperatures lie within the range −50 °C to +100 °C, except when using the special provisions given in 5.1;
—   radius to thickness ratios (r/t) within the range 50 to 2 000;
—   manufactured circular hollow sections according to EN 10210 and EN 10219 are outside the scope of this document and are covered by EN 1993-1-1. However, if no other provisions are available, the rules of this document are useful for manufactured circular hollow sections. In particular, this document is applicable to the design of manufactured piles (see EN 1993-5) provided the imperfections and tolerance requirements of EN 1993-5 are adopted in place of those specified in this document, and where no other standard covers the specific pile geometry.
NOTE 1   Experimental and theoretical data relating to manufactured circular hollow sections were not considered when this document was drafted. The application of this document to such structures therefore remains the responsibility of the user.  
NOTE 2   The stress design rules of this document can be rather conservative if applied to some geometries and loading conditions for relatively thick-walled shells.
NOTE 3   Thinner shells than r/t = 2 000 can be treated using these provisions but the provisions have not been verified for such thin shells.
NOTE 4   The maximum temperature is restricted so that the influence of creep can be ignored where high temperature creep effects are not covered by the relevant application part.

1.1   Scope of prEN 1993-1-7
(1) prEN 1993-1-7 provides rules for the structural design of assemblies of unstiffened and stiffened steel plates whose elements are under predominantly distributed transverse loads.
(2) prEN 1993-1-7 is applicable to containment structures such as silos, tanks, digesters and lock gates, where the external actions chiefly act transversely on their individual plates or panels. Where a plate or panel under bending is additionally subject to membrane forces that have a significant effect on the resistance, this document covers assessment of the resistance through its computational analysis procedures.
(3) prEN 1993-1-7 is applicable to structures with rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular component plate segments, each with one axis of symmetry.
(4) prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to plates or panels where the dominant structural resistance requirement relates to membrane forces in the plates (for these, see EN 1993-1-5).
(5) prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to plates or panels whose curvature (out of flatness) exceeds that defined in 1.1 (14). For such curved plates, see EN 1993-1-6.

(7)    prEN 1993-1-7 does not apply to cold-formed sheeting. For such plates, see EN 1993-1-3.
(8) This document is only concerned with the requirements for design of plates and plate assemblies against the ultimate limit states of:
-   plastic failure;
-   cyclic plasticity;
-   buckling;
-   fatigue.
(9) Overall equilibrium of the structure (sliding, uplifting, or overturning) is not included in this document. Special considerations for specific applications are available in the relevant applications parts of EN 1993.
(10) The rules in this document refer to plate assemblies that are fabricated using unstiffened or stiffened plates or panels. The document is also applicable to the design of individual plates or panels that are predominantly subject to actions transverse to the plane of each plate. Both frictional actions on the plate surface and forces imposed by adjacent components of the plate assembly also induce in-plane actions in each plate.
(11) This document gives algebraic rules and guidance to account for bending with small membrane forces in the individual plates or panels. Where an unstiffened or stiffened plates or panels is subject to significant magnitudes of both bending and in-plane forces, the computational analysis procedures of this document apply.
(12) Where no application part defines a different range, this document applies to structures within the following limits:
-   design metal temperatures within the range −50 °C to +100 °C;
-   the geometry of individual plate segments is limited to rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal shapes with b/t greater than 20, or b1/t greater than 20, as appropriate (see Figure 3.2);
-   Single plate elements are treated as flat where the deviation from flatness e0 meets the condition   (see Figure 9.1). Where this criterion is not met, it is appropriate to treat the plate as a shell panel (see EN 1993-1-6).
1.2   Assumptions
(1) Unless specifically stated, the provisions of EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts) and EN 1993 (all parts) apply.
(2) The design methods given in prEN 1993-1-7 are applicable if:
-   the execution quality is as specified in EN 1090 2, and
-   the construction materials and products used are as specified in the relevant parts of EN 1993 (all parts), or in the relevant material and product specifications.
(3) The provisions in this document apply to materials that satisfy the brittle fracture provisions given in EN 1993-1-4 and EN 1993-1-10.
(4) In this document, it is assumed that wind loading, seismic actions and bulk solids flow can, in general, be treated as quasi-static actions.

This CEN/TS gives complementary provisions for the use of reclaimed structural components in the execution of steel structures in EXC1 to EXC3 according to EN 1090-2. The provisions apply to products used in structures to be designed according to EN 1993-1-1 without seismic and/or fatigue design.  
This CEN/TS specifies requirements for the reusability assessment of reclaimed structural components and the declaration of mechanical and geometrical properties as well as weldability. The properties to be declared are those listed as required relevant properties to be specified according to clause 5.1 of EN 1090-2:
• strength (yield and tensile);
• elongation;
• tolerances on dimensions and shape;

This document (part 2) provides extended standard semantic modelling patterns for (at least) the following domain-specific asset aspects:
-   support for distinction between two subtypes of physical objects: spatial regions and real ("tangible") objects; the latter being discrete or continuous ("bulk matter");
-   support for the materialization of physical objects, adding generic chemistry aspects directly relevant for the built environment dealing with materials like concrete, steel, wood and asphalt;
-   support for the interaction between objects including connections, interfaces and ports. Interactions being defined as activities where material, information, energy or forces are transferred;
-   support for the definition of unstructured, human-interpretable, requirements, coming from appointing party needs, laws and regulations or sector recommendations;
-   support for implicit groups having no explicit members (to model situations like "all main girders of some steel bridge");
-   support for the explicit modelling of measurements reusing the existing W3C SOSA ontology (as a lightweight but self-contained SSN core ontology);
-   support for spatial geometry (location/shape) reusing OGC GeoSPARQL (GML/WKT) and the WGS84_pos ontology (GPS).

This New Work Item will extend the basic information given in the EN ISO19650 and in the "Guidance to EN ISO 19650". It will detail and structure the concept of a Common Data Environment (CDE) as a workflow for the collaborative process of managing the information and information containers as solutions that fit to the management and project processes inherent for BIM
It may be necessary to introduce further concept details as elements for understanding and implementation. Archiving and versioning of information containers can become very complex when considering various typical information situations of a project.
Further elements, rules and terminology for information management and digitisation may need to be explained and technically framed in the context of a CDE. It will be a large advantage developing at the same time the "Open API for CDE" in TC442 WG2
In particular this Work Item will describe
- how to link a CDE according to EN ISO 19650 to an already existing Asset Management Systems of the Asset Owner.
- how to maintain and manage "living documents" like Information Models (AIM, PIM)
- how to maintain, exchange and manage Information Requirements like (OIR, AIR, EIR) as well as BIM Execution Plans (BEP)
- how to use and implement Information Delivery Plans for the above entities (MIDP and TIDP in ISO 19650)
- how to manage and collaborate between various Information Containers like models, requirements, container states
- how to support Process Workflow by a CDE based on the IDM concept
It will simply have to describe how to provide "Common Data Environment" throughout the whole life cycle (horizontal aspect) and throughout the spectrum of management levels and stakeholders (vertical aspect).
In the work item proposed here, all important terms, processes and targets are to be expanded around the CDE concept. Relations to already existing normatives will be given.
Informative attachments such as templates and examples could be provided to the benefit of planner, supplier and operator as further guidelines.
