Eurocode 5: Design of Timber Structures - Structural design of timber-concrete composite structures - Common rules and rules for buildings

1.1   Scope of CEN/TS 19103
(1)   CEN/TS 19103 gives general design rules for timber-concrete composite structures.
(2)   It provides requirements for materials, design parameters, connections, detailing and execution for timber-concrete composite structures. Recommendations for environmental parameters (temperature and moisture content), design methods and test methods are given in the Annexes.

NOTE   For the design of glued timber-concrete composites or bridges alternative references are available.
(4)   It covers the design of timber-concrete composite structures in both quasi-constant and variable environmental conditions. For ease of use, it provides simple design rules for quasi-constant environmental conditions and more complex rules for variable environmental conditions.
1.2   Assumptions
(1)   The general assumptions of EN 1990 apply.
(2)   CEN/TS 19103 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN  1992 (all parts), EN  1994 (all parts), EN 1995 (all parts), EN 1998 (all parts) when timber structures are built in seismic regions, and ENs for construction products relevant to timber structures.

European foreword

This document (FprCEN/TS 19103:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250

“Structural Euro-codes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all

Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters

by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the Vote on TS.

This document has been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to CEN by the European Commission

and the European Free Trade Association.

This document has been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product and

test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are relied

upon by this document.

0 Introduction
0.1 Introduction to the Eurocodes

The Structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of parts:

— EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of structural design;
— EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures;
— EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures;
— EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures;
— EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures;
— EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures;
— EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures;
— EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design;
— EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance;
— EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures.
— New Eurocodes under development
0.2 Introduction to EN 1995 (all parts)

(1) EN 1995 (all parts)applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in timber (solid

timber, sawn, planed or in pole form, glued laminated timber or wood-based structural products, e.g.

LVL) or wood-based panels jointed together with adhesives or mechanical fasteners. It complies with the

principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures and the basis of design and

verification given in EN 1990.

(2) EN 1995 (all parts) is concerned only with requirements for mechanical resistance, serviceability,

durability and fire resistance of timber structures. Other requirements concerning thermal or sound

insulation, for example, are not considered.
(3) EN 1995 (all parts) is subdivided into various parts:
— EN 1995-1 General;
— EN 1995-2 Bridges.

(4) EN 1995-1 “General” in itself does not exist as a physical document, but comprises the following two

separate parts:
— EN 1995-1-1 General – Common rules and rules for buildings;
— EN 1995-1-2 General – Structural fire design.
EN 1995-2 refers to the General rules in EN 1995-1-1.
This document supplements EN 1995.

0.3 Verb forms used in this Technical Specification

The verb “shall” expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted

in order to comply with the Eurocodes.

The verb “should” expresses a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national

regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches may be used/adopted

where technically justified.

The verb "may” expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.

The verb “can” expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of

concepts.
0.4 National annex for FprCEN/TS 19103

This document provides values within notes, indicating where national choices can be made. Therefore,

a national document implementing FprCEN/TS 19103 can have a National Annex containing all

Nationally Determined Parameters to be used for the assessment of buildings and civil engineering works

in the relevant country.
National choice is allowed in FprCEN/TS 19103 through the following subclauses:
• 4.3.1.2(5) Average timber moisture content due to the environmental conditions
• 4.4.1.1 Partial factor for shrinkage action
• 4.4.1.2 Partial factor for temperature action
• 4.4.1.2 Partial factor for moisture content action
• 4.4.2 Partial factor for connection shear strength

National choice is allowed in FprCEN/TS 19103 on the application of the following informative annexes:

• Annex A Yearly variations of moisture content averaged over the timber cross-section for timber-

concrete composite structures in variable environmental conditions

The National Annex can contain, directly or by reference, non-contradictory complementary information

for ease of implementation, provided it does not alter any provisions of the Eurocodes.

for the design of glued timber-concrete composites, nor for bridges.

NOTE For the design of glued timber-concrete composites or bridges alternative references are available.

(4) It covers the design of timber-concrete composite structures in both quasi-constant and variable

environmental conditions. For ease of use, it provides simple design rules for quasi-constant

environmental conditions and more complex rules for variable environmental conditions.

1.2 Assumptions
(1) The general assumptions of EN 1990 apply.

(2) FprCEN/TS 19103 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN 1992

(all parts), EN 1994 (all parts), EN 1995 (all parts), EN 1998 (all parts) when timber structures are built
