Eurocode 6 - Design of masonry structures - Part 1-1: General rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures
(1) The basis for the design of building and civil engineering works in masonry is given in this Part 1-1 of EN 1996, which deals with unreinforced masonry, reinforced masonry and confined masonry. Principles for the design of prestressed masonry are also given. This Part 1-1 of EN 1996 is not valid for masonry elements with a plan area of less than 0,04 m2.
(2) For those types of structures not covered entirely, for new structural uses for established materials, for new materials, or where actions and other influences outside normal experience have to be resisted, the provisions given in this Part 1-1 of EN 1996 may be applicable, but may need to be supplemented.
(3) Part 1-1 of EN 1996 gives detailed rules which are mainly applicable to ordinary buildings. The applicability of these rules may be limited, for practical reasons or due to simplifications; any limits of applicability are given in the text where necessary.
(4) Part 1-1 of EN 1996 does not cover:
- resistance to fire (which is dealt with in EN 1996-1-2);
- particular aspects of special types of building (for example, dynamic effects on tall buildings);
- particular aspects of special types of civil engineering works (such as masonry bridges, dams, chimneys or liquid-retaining structures);
- particular aspects of special types of structures (such as arches or domes);
- masonry where gypsum, with or without cement, mortars are used;
- masonry where the units are not laid in a regular pattern of courses (rubble masonry);
- masonry reinforced with other materials than steel.

Evrokod 6 - Projektiranje zidanih konstrukcij - 1-1. del: Splošna pravila za armirano in nearmirano zidovje
(1) Osnova za projektiranje gradenj in gradbenih del v zidanju je podana v tem delu 1-1 standarda EN 1996, ki obravnava nezidano zidovje, armirano zidovje in omejeno zidovje. Podana so tudi načela za projektiranje prednapetega zidovja. Ta del 1-1 standarda EN 1996 ni veljaven za zidne elemente s površino manjšo od 0,04 m2.
(2) Za tiste vrste konstrukcij, ki niso v celoti pokrite, za nove strukturne uporabe uveljavljenih materialov, za nove materiale ali kjer je treba upreti se delovanjem in drugim vplivom zunaj običajnih izkušenj, se določbe, podane v tem delu 1-1 standarda EN 1996, lahko uporabijo, vendar jih je morda treba dopolniti.
(3) Del 1-1 standarda EN 1996 podaja podrobna pravila, ki so predvsem uporabna za običajne stavbe. Uporabnost teh pravil je lahko omejena iz praktičnih razlogov ali zaradi poenostavitev; morebitne omejitve uporabnosti so podane v besedilu, kjer je to potrebno.
(4) Del 1-1 standarda EN 1996 ne pokriva:
- odpornosti proti požaru (ki je obravnavana v EN 1996-1-2);
- posebnih vidikov posebnih vrst stavb (na primer, dinamični učinki na visoke stavbe);
- posebnih vidikov posebnih vrst gradbenih del (kot so zidani mostovi, jezovi, dimniki ali objekti za zadrževanje tekočin);
- posebnih vidikov posebnih vrst konstrukcij (kot so oboki ali kupole);
- zidovja, kjer se uporabljajo mavčne malte, z ali brez cementa;
- zidovja, kjer enote niso položene v rednem vzorcu vrst (razvaljeno zidovje);
- zidovja, armiranega z drugimi materiali kot jeklo.
