Overview

EN 1995-1-1:2025 - Eurocode 5, Part 1-1 provides the general rules and specific design requirements for the design of timber structures, with a focus on buildings and timber civil engineering works. Intended to be used with EN 1990 (basis of structural design), EN 1991 (actions on structures) and EN 1998 (seismic design) where applicable, this Eurocode sets out limit state design principles, material provisions and verification procedures for modern timber products such as glued laminated timber (GL), cross-laminated timber (CLT), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and traditional sawn and finger-jointed timbers.

Key Topics

  • Scope & assumptions - General design rules for timber structures and integration with other Eurocodes for seismic regions.
  • Basis of design - Principles of limit state design, basic variables and stiffness values for structural analysis.
  • Materials - Requirements and design guidance for SL (strength graded timber), GST, GL, CLT, LVL, adhesives and softboards.
  • Durability - Measures against biological attack, moisture effects and corrosion protection for fasteners.
  • Structural analysis - Modelling, imperfections, second-order effects and simplified methods for stability assessment.
  • Ultimate and serviceability limit states (ULS & SLS) - Member resistance, stability, deformations, vibrations and compressive deformations perpendicular to grain.
  • Connections - Design of dowel-type fasteners, shear connectors, punched metal plate fasteners, bonded-in rods, carpentry connections and spacing/end distance rules.
  • Special elements - Design of diaphragms, built‑up and mechanically jointed members, thin-webbed/flanged beams and timber foundation piles.
  • Fatigue & robustness - Fatigue verification methods and informative annexes offering guidance on robustness, buckling, non-linear methods and additional provisions for CLT.

Applications

This Eurocode is essential for:

  • Structural engineers designing timber buildings and timber bridges or civil engineering elements.
  • Architects and contractors specifying timber systems (CLT, GL, LVL) and connections.
  • Manufacturers and fabricators of engineered timber products requiring compliance guidance.
  • Building control bodies and consultants assessing safety, serviceability and durability of timber designs.

Practical uses include component sizing, connection design, global structural analysis, bracing and stability checks, vibration and deflection control, and detailing for durability and fire resistance in combination with national annexes.

Related Standards

  • EN 1990 - Basis of structural design
  • EN 1991 (all parts) - Actions on structures
  • EN 1998 (all parts) - Seismic design
  • National Annexes to Eurocode 5 for country-specific parameters and partial factors

Keywords: Eurocode 5, EN 1995-1-1, design of timber structures, timber design Eurocode, CLT, glued laminated timber, timber connections, structural timber standards.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1995-1-1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250 “Structural
Eurocodes”, 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 CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1995-1-1:2004 and its amendments and corrigenda.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part of
the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to CEN by
the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have 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 the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National Annexes.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are listed below:
 inclusions of main timber products, e.g. cross laminated timber (CLT);
 inclusion of product groups with similar material behaviour;
 inclusion of material parameters needed for the design according to this document;
 improved guidance on durability;
 inclusion of provisions on holes in beams;
 extension of compression perpendicular to grain verifications to serviceability limit state design;
 inclusion of provisions on reinforcements;
 improved guidance on vibration verification;
 inclusion on guidance on fatigue verification;
 inclusion of provisions on carpentry connections;
 inclusion of provisions on bonded-in rods;
 inclusion of provisions on foundations with timber piles;
 improved provisions on robustness.

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 and geotechnical 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 parts are under development, e.g. Eurocode for design of structural glass
The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant authorities
(in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations), educators, software
developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and execution standards.
NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,
can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes
identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.
0.2 Introduction to EN 1995 (all parts)
EN 1995 (all parts) applies to the design of timber structures and gives specific design rules for buildings
and civil engineering timber works.
EN 1995 is subdivided in various parts:
EN 1995-2, Eurocode 5 — Design of timber structures — Part 2: Bridges
EN 1995-3, Eurocode 5 — Design of timber structures — Part 3: Execution
EN 1995-1 in itself does not exist as a physical document, but comprises the following three separate
documents, the basic part being EN 1995-1-1:
EN 1995-1-1, Eurocode 5 — Design of timber structures — Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings
EN 1995-1-2, Eurocode 5 — Design of timber structures — Part 1-2: Structural fire design
CEN/TS 19103, Design of timber structures — Structural design of timber-concrete composite structures –
Common rules and rules for buildings
oSIST prEN 1995-1-1:2023
prEN 1995-1-1:2023 (E)
EN 1995-2 “Bridges” refers to the common rules in EN 1995-1-1. The Clauses in EN 1995-2 supplement,
modify or supersede them, where relevant.
EN 1995-3 “Execution” refers to the common rules in EN 1995-1-1. The Clauses in EN 1995-3 supplement
the Clauses in EN 1995-1 and 1995-2.
0.3 Introduction to EN 1995-1-1
EN 1995-1-1 gives general design rules for timber structures and civil engineering timber works.
0.4 Verbal forms used in the Eurocodes
The verb “shall" expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted
in order to comply with the Eurocodes.
