(3)   EN 1991 1 2 contains thermal actions either nominal or physically based. More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in annexes.
(4)   EN 1991 1 2 does not cover the assessment of the damage of a structure after a fire.
(5)   EN 1991 1 2 does not cover supplementary requirements concerning, for example:
-   the possible installation and maintenance of sprinkler systems;
-   conditions on occupancy of building or fire compartment;

1.2   Assumptions
(1)   In addition to the general assumptions of EN 1990 the following assumptions apply:
-   any active and passive fire protection systems taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained;
-   the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel, or is given by the relevant national regulation.

NOTE   Liquid loads on tanks are very precisely defined. Many loads on silos are not known with great precision. This standard provides guidance for many practical situations for which very limited certain knowledge is available, and the information is derived from the limited experimental and analytical information available, coupled with conclusions drawn from failure investigations. The information is not based on a sound statistical treatment of experimental data.
(3) EN 1991 4 is intended for use with concrete, steel, aluminium, timber and FRP storage structures.
NOTE   FRP is the standard acronym for fibre reinforced polymer materials.
(4) EN 1991 4 may be used for the structural assessment of existing construction, in developing the design of repairs and alterations or for assessing changes of use.
NOTE   Where the structural appraisal of an existing structure is being considered, reference can be made to the National Annex and to the client concerning the relevance of the current standard.

-   the silo planform cross-section shapes are limited to those shown in Figure 1.1c.
NOTE 1   Minor variations to these shapes can be accepted provided the structural consequences of the resulting changes in pressure are expected to be considered. Further information concerning planform cross-section geometries is given in 7;
NOTE 2   Further information concerning planform cross-section geometries is given in Clause 7.
-   the relevant overall height of the silo hb (Figure 1.1a) is measured from the level of the equivalent surface of the stored solid (see 3.2.17) when the silo is filled to its maximum capacity, down to the apex of the cone of the hopper or to the flat base where there is no hopper;
NOTE   For the evaluation of ho to calculate hb, see (2).
-   the effective diameter dc of the silo should be determined as indicated in Figure 1.1c;
-   the following dimensional limitations on the overall height hb and aspect ratio hb/dc apply (see Figure 1.1):
hb/dc < 10   (1.1)
hb < 100 m   (1.2)
dc < 60 m   (1.3)
-   the structural transition lies in a single horizontal plane (see Figure 1.1a);
-   the relevant cylindrical section height of the silo hc (Figure 1.1a) should be measured from the level of the equivalent surface of the stored solid (see 3.2.17) when the silo is filled to its maximum capacity, down to the structural transition (see Figure 1.1a) or to the flat base where there is no hopper;
(2) For a symmetrically filled circular silo of diameter dc, h0 should be determined as:
   (1.4)

   (1.5)
where:

Part 5 of ENV 1991 specifies imposed loads (models and representative values) associated with cranes on runway beams,staionary machines and transport vehicles which include, when relevant, dynamic effects and braking, acceleration and accidental forces. Section 1 defines common definitions and notation, section 2 specifies actions induced by cranes and runways, section 3 specifies action induced by stationary machines, section 4 specifies actions due to transport vehicles.

This Part gives the description of the design philisophy in case of accidental design situations in general and covers the accidental actions due to impact and explosions in detail. It refers to exceptional conditions applicable to the structure caused by human activities, e.g. fire, explosion or impact; actions arising from war-fare and sabotage are excluded. Accidental actions arising from the natural environment such as tornadoes, extreme erosion or falling rocks are not included. However, they may be incor- porated in design using principles similar to those contained in this part.

(1) P ENV 1991 provides general principles and actions for the structural designof building and civil engineering works including some geotechnical aspects and shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1992-1999. (2) It may also be used as a basis for the design of structures not covered in ENV 1992-1999 and where other materials or other structural design actions are involved.
