Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures - Part 1-1: General rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures

(1)P The basis for the design of buildings and civil engineering works in masonry is given in this Part 1-1 of Eurocode 6, which deals with unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry where the reinforcement is added to provide ductility, strength or improve serviceability. The principles of the design of prestressed masonry and confined masonry are given, but application rules are not provided. This Part is not valid for masonry 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 principles and application rules given in this EN may be applicable, but may need to be supplemented.
(3) Part 1-1 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.

Overview

EN 1996-1-1:2005/FprA1, known as Eurocode 6: Design of Masonry Structures - Part 1-1: General rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures, is a European Standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization). This standard establishes the fundamental principles and detailed application rules for the safety, serviceability, and durability of both reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures, primarily for buildings and civil engineering works.

Eurocode 6 Part 1-1 serves as the basis for designing masonry using techniques such as conventional masonry, reinforced masonry (to improve ductility and strength), and includes principles for prestressed and confined masonry, though application rules for the latter two are not provided. This standard is applicable to ordinary buildings, with certain provisions possibly restricted by practical or material limitations.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application

  • Covers design rules for unreinforced and reinforced masonry structures
  • Offers principles for prestressed and confined masonry (without detailed rules)
  • Not applicable to masonry with a plan area of less than 0.04 m²

• Structural Design Principles

  • Provides definitions for key components such as composite lintels and built-in length
  • Specifies key symbols and performance characteristics (tensile and shear strength)
  • Outlines conditions under which manufacturer-declared properties (such as strength of prefabricated lintels) are used for calculations

• Composite Lintels

  • Defines structural behavior for lintels made from prefabricated and complementary masonry elements
  • Specifies how to verify composite lintels for vertical and shear loading
  • Addresses the calculation of moments of resistance and factors for prefabricated parts

• National Annexes and Material Properties

  • Allows for some national choice in design equations and values, as specified in each country’s National Annex
  • Emphasizes compliance with European standards for material input data

Applications

EN 1996-1-1:2005/FprA1 is widely used in the design and construction of masonry buildings and civil structures across Europe. Its applications include:

• Structural Safety and Serviceability

  • Ensures that both reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements meet strength and durability requirements
  • Guides the proper design of load-bearing masonry walls, lintels, columns, and other structural elements

• Prefabricated Components

  • Allows for safe integration of composite lintels, combining prefabricated elements and in-situ masonry
  • Specifies verification methods for reliable load transfer between lintel components

• Adaptation to New and Established Materials

  • Can be supplemented for new materials or novel structural applications, based on the outlined principles

• Building Regulation Compliance

  • Provides a harmonized design approach for engineers and architects working under European building codes and regulations

Related Standards

For comprehensive masonry structure design and execution, Eurocode 6 Part 1-1 should be used alongside other relevant European and international standards, including:

• EN 845-2: Specification for ancillary components for masonry - Lintels
• EN 1996-1-2: Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures - Part 1-2: General rules - Structural fire design
• EN 1996-2: Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures - Part 2: Design considerations, selection of materials and execution of masonry
• EN 1990: Eurocode - Basis of structural design
• EN 1991 series: Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures

By adhering to EN 1996-1-1:2005/FprA1, practitioners ensure that masonry structures meet European best practices for safety, reliability, and durability, whether utilizing traditional or advanced masonry solutions. This standard provides essential guidance for professionals seeking to design robust and code-compliant masonry buildings.
