For fifteen years, the Commission, with the help of a Steering Committee with Representatives of Member States, conducted the development of the Eurocodes programme, which led to the first generation of European codes in the 1980’s. In 1989, the Commission and the Member States of the EU and EFTA decided, on the basis of an agreement1 between the Commission and CEN, to transfer the preparation and the publication of the Eurocodes to CEN through a series of Mandates, in order to provide them with a future status of European Standard (EN). This links de facto the Eurocodes with the provisions of all the Council’s Directives and/or Commission’s Decisions dealing with European standards (e.g. the Council Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products - CPD - and Council Directives 93/37/EEC, 92/50/EEC and 89/440/EEC on public works and services and equivalent EFTA Directives initiated in pursuit of setting up the internal market). The Structural Eurocode programme comprises the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:
1 Agreement between the Commission of the European Communities and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) concerning the work on EUROCODES for the design of building and civil engineering works (BC/CEN/03/89).
2 According to Art. 3.3 of the CPD, the essential requirements (ERs) shall be given concrete form in interpretative documents for the creation of the necessary links between the essential requirements and the mandates for hENs and ETAGs/ETAs. 3 According to Art. 12 of the CPD the interpretative documents shall : a) give concrete form to the essential requirements by harmonising the terminology and the technical bases and indicating classes or levels for each requirement where necessary ; b) indicate methods of correlating these classes or levels of requirement with the technical specifications, e.g. methods of calculation and of proof, technical rules for project design, etB. ; c) serve as a reference for the establishment of harmonised standards and guidelines for European technical approvals. The Eurocodes, de facto, play a similar role in the field of the ER 1 and a part of ER 2.
– decisions on the application of informative annexes, – references to non-contradictory complementary information to assist the user to apply the Eurocode. Links between Eurocodes and harmonized technical specifications (ENs and ETAs) for products There is a need for consistency between the harmonized technical specifications for construction products and the technical rules for works4. Furthermore, all the information accompanying the CE Marking of the construction products which refer to Eurocodes shall clearly mention which Nationally Determined Parameters have been taken into account. Additional information specific to EN 1998-4 The scope of EN 1998 is defined in 1.1.1 of EN 1998-1: 2004. The scope of this Part of EN 1998 is defined in 1.1. Additional Parts of Eurocode 8 are listed in EN 1998-1: 2004, 1.1.3.

2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION RULES 2.1 Safety requirements 2.1.1 General (1)P This standard deals with structures which may differ widely in such basic features as: – the nature and amount of the contents and associated potential danger – the functional requirements during and after the seismic event
– the environmental conditions. (2) Depending on the specific combination of the indicated features, different formulations of the general requirements are appropriate. For the sake of consistency with the general framework of the Eurocodes, the two-limit-states format is retained, with a suitably adjusted definition. 2.1.2 Ultimate limit state (1)P
The ultimate limit state for which a system shall be checked is defined as that corresponding to structural failure. In some circumstances, partial recovery of the operational capacity of the system lost by exceedance of the ultimate limit state may be possible, after an acceptable amount of repairs.
NOTE 1: The circumstances are those defined by the responsible authority or the client. (2)P For particular elements of the network, as well as for independent structures whose complete collapse would entail severe consequences, the ultimate limit state is defined as that of a state prior to structural collapse that, although possibly severe, would exclude brittle failures and would allow for a controlled release of the contents. When the failure of the aforementioned elements does not entail severe consequences, the ultimate limit state may be defined as corresponding to total structural collapse. (3)P The design seismic action for which the ultimate limit state may not be exceeded shall be established based on the direct and indirect consequences of structural failure. (4)P The design seismic action, AEd, shall be expressed in terms of: a) the reference seismic action, AEk, associated with a reference probability of exceedance, PNCR, in 50 years or a reference return period, TNCR, (see EN 1998-1:2004, 2.1(1)P and 3.2.1(3)) and b) the importance factor γI (see EN 1990:2002 and EN 1998-1:2004, 2.1(2)P, 2.1(3)P and (4)) to take into account reliability differentiation:
AEd = γIAEk
(2.1) NOTE: The value to be ascribed to the reference return period, TNCR, associated with the reference seismic action for use in a country, may be found in its National Annex. The recommended value is: TNCR = 475 years.
(5) The capacity of structural systems to resist seismic actions at the ultimate limit state in 13

(6) To avoid explicit inelastic analysis in design, the capacity of the structural systems to dissipate energy, through mainly ductile behaviour of its elements and/or other mechanisms, may be taken into account by performing a linear-elastic analysis based on a response spectrum reduced with respect to the elastic one, called ''design spectrum''. This reduction is accomplished by introducing the behaviour factor q, which is an approximation of the ratio of the seismic forces that the structure would experience if its response was completely elastic with 5% viscous damping, to the seismic forces that may be used in the design, with a conventional linear-elastic analysis model, still ensuring a satisfactory performance of the structural system at the ultimate limit state. (7)
The values of the behaviour factor q, which also account for the influence of the viscous damping being different from 5%, are given for the various types of constructions covered by EN 1998-4 in the relevant Sections of this Eurocode.
2.1.3 Damage limitation state (1)P Depending on the characteristics and the purposes of the structure considered, a damage limitation state that meets one or both of the two following performance levels may need to be satisfied: – ‘integrity’; – ‘minimum operating level’. (2)P In order to satisfy the ‘integrity’ requirement, the considered system, including a specified set of accessory elements integrated with it, shall remain fully serviceable and leak proof under the relevant seismic action. (3)P To satisfy the ‘minimum operating level’ requirement, the extent and amount of damage of the considered system, including some of its components, shall be limited, so that, after the operations for damage checking and control are carried out, the capacity of the system can be restored up to a predefined level of operation.
(4)P The seismic action for which this limit state may not be exceeded shall have an annual probability of exceedance whose value is to be established based on the following: − the consequences of loss of function and/or of leakage of the content, and
− the losses related to the reduced capacity of the system and to the necessary repairs. (5)P The seismic action for which the ‘damage limitation’ state may not be exceeded shall have a probability of exceedance, PDLR, in 10 years and a return period, TDLR. In the absence of more precise information, the reduction factor applied on the design seismic action in accordance with 2.2(3) may be used to obtain the seismic action for the verification of the damage limitation state. NOTE: The values to be ascribed to PDLR or to TDLR for use in a country may be found in its National Annex of this document. The recommended values are PDLR =10% and TDLR = 95 years.
(2)P Reliability differentiation shall be achieved by appropriately adjusting the value of the annual probability of exceedance of the design seismic action.
(3) This adjustment should be implemented by classifying structures into different importance classes and applying to the reference seismic action an importance factor γI, defined in 2.1.2(4)P and in EN 1998-1: 2004, 2.1(3)P, the value of which depends on the importance class. Specific values of the factor γI, necessary to modify the action so as to correspond to a seismic event of selected return period, depend on the seismicity of each region. The value of the importance factor γI = 1,0 is associated to the seismic action with the reference return period
indicated in 2.1.2(4)P. NOTE
For the dependence of the value of γI see Note to EN1998-1:2004, 2.1(4) (4) For the structures within the scope of this standard it is appropriate to consider three different importance classes, depending on the potential loss of life due to the failure of the particular structure and on the economic and social consequences of failure. Further classification may be made within each Importance Class, depending on the use and contents of the facility and the implications for public safety. NOTE
Importance classes I, II and III/IV correspond roughly to consequences classes CC1, CC2 and CC3, respectively, defined in EN 1990:2002, Annex B. (5) Class I refers to situations where the risk to life is low and the economic and social consequences of failure are small or negligible. (6) Situations with medium risk to life and local economic or social consequences of failure belong to Class II. (7) Class III refers to situations with a high risk to life and large economic and social consequences of failure. (8) Class IV refers to situations with exceptional risk to life and extreme economic and social consequences of failure. NOTE
The values to be ascribed to γI for use in a country may be found in its National Annex. The values of γI may be different for the various seismic zones of the country, depending on the seismic hazard conditions (see Note to EN 1998-1: 2004, 2.1(4)) and on the public safety considerations detailed in 2.1.4. The value of γI for importance class II is, by definition, equal to 1,0. For the other classes the recommended values of γI are γI = 0,8 for Importance Class I, γI = 1.2 for importance class III and γI = 1,6 for importance class IV, (9)P A pipeline system traversing a large geographical region normally encounters a wide variety of seismic hazards and soil conditions. In addition, a number of subsystems may be located along a pipeline transmission system, which may be either associated facilities (tanks, storage reservoirs etc.), or pipeline facilities (valves, pumps, etc.). Under such circumstan
