Bases for design of structures — General requirements
This document provides the requirements for structural design and procedures following a semi-probabilistic approach that conform to the general principles for structural reliability as stipulated by ISO 2394. The scope of requirements and procedures are accordingly limited to the design of structures for which sufficient knowledge and experience are commonly available on design and construction practice to ensure that target levels of reliability account for the nature and consequences of structural failure. Situations outside these limitations are covered by ISO 2394. The methods that are included in this document are the semi-probabilistic limit states approaches that are proven to achieve sufficient and consistent levels of structural reliability. This document relies on standardized procedures for the characterization of the load bearing performance of the structures within its scope. Sufficient information is needed on uncertainties of design variables and models to be able to derive semi-probabilistic design measures for verification of structural reliability within the scope of this and the related design standards.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
This document incorporates the general principles of structural design as set out in ISO 2394. The
general requirements relevant to the design of structures given here are expressed according to the
semi-probabilistic approach as presented in ISO 2394. The general requirements are based on the
premise that sufficient information is available on all aspects that are needed to set target levels of
reliability and for uncertainty representation to be categorized and standardized, to ensure realization
of such reliability through a semi-probabilistic approach. Procedures for deriving semi-probabilistic
requirements and design methods from risk and reliability approaches are provided in ISO 2394.
The general requirements for actions on structures and the material independent resistance of the
structures provided in this document are expressed on the basis of related standards for all actions and
structural materials relevant to the scope of application.
The main duties for standards organisations in adopting this document are:
— to set target levels of reliability;
— to provide a suitable format and a set of quantitative design parameters;
— to establish the relevant standards from which input values for actions and resistance are to be
obtained.
International Standards on actions are referenced here in lieu of standards within the jurisdiction of
the adopting group.
As this document is an International Standard, its scope represents general consensus for standardized
procedures for the semi-probabilistic design verification requirements of structural reliability.
Thus, this document is intended to promote harmonization of structural design practice. Additional
requirements and procedures need to be added to provide for specific types of structures, conditions or
design practice.
This document has the following aims:
— to facilitate international practice in structural design by expressing the general requirements for
the basis for the design of structures;
— to obtain international standardization of the process for setting up rules for structural design,
while allowing each economy to specify its own levels of structural performance, in accordance
with its own needs;
— to provide a means of promoting commonality, interchangeability, consistency and comparability
of structural standards developed by different economies, such that regulators, standards writers,
designers and academics could then adopt such standards with confidence in their international
acceptance;
— to encourage regulatory authorities in each country to describe their mandatory requirements in
an internationally agreed format;
— to facilitate future coordination between the various specialist subcommittees and working groups
for ISO structural standards;
— to create transparency in the process of comparison of national standards for structural design.
Annex A to Annex D provide additional guidance on the adoption of this document and its adaptation to
suit the conditions and requirements of the relevant standardization organisation.

practice to ensure that target levels of reliability account for the nature and consequences of structural
failure. Situations outside these limitations are covered by ISO 2394.
The methods that are included in this document are the semi-probabilistic limit states approaches that
are proven to achieve sufficient and consistent levels of structural reliability.
This document relies on standardized procedures for the characterization of the load bearing
performance of the structures within its scope. Sufficient information is needed on uncertainties of
design variables and models to be able to derive semi-probabilistic design measures for verification of
structural reliability within the scope of this and the related design standards.
