The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
1.1 Scope of EN 1993-1-11
(1) EN 1993-1-11 provides rules for structural design of tension components made of steel, in addition to other parts of EN 1993, for use in structures made of steel or other materials such as concrete, steel-concrete composite and timber.
(2) EN 1993-1-11 covers the resistance, serviceability and durability of steel tension elements.
(3) The following items/aspects are outside the scope of EN 1993-1-11:
— pre- or post-tensioned systems in accordance with EN 1992-1-1;
— reinforcing steel as part of a concrete structure in accordance with EN 1992-1-1;
— tension components in piling;
— detailed design of terminations.
1.2 Assumptions
(1) Unless specifically stated, EN 1990, EN 1991 and the EN 1993-1 series apply.
(2) The design methods given in EN 1993-1-11 are applicable if:
— execution quality is according to EN 1090-2; and
— the construction materials and products used are as specified in the relevant parts of the EN 1993 series, or in the relevant material and product specifications.
