GSO EN 1998-5:2011 Scope
(1)P This Part of Eurocode 8 establishes the requirements, criteria, and rules for the
siting and foundation soil of structures for earthquake resistance. It covers the design of
different foundation systems, the design of earth retaining structures and soil-structure
interaction under seismic actions. As such it complements Eurocode 7 which does not
cover the special requirements of seismic design.
(2)P The provisions of Part 5 apply to buildings (EN 1998-1), bridges (EN 1998-2),
towers, masts and chimneys (EN 1998-6), silos, tanks and pipelines (EN 1998-4).
(3)P Specialised design requirements for the foundations of certain types of
structures, when necessary, shall be found in the relevant Parts of Eurocode 8.
(4) Annex B of this Eurocode provides empirical charts for simplified evaluation of
liquefaction potential, while Annex E gives a simplified procedure for seismic analysis
of retaining structures.
NOTE 1 Informative Annex A provides information on topographic amplification factors.
NOTE 2 Informative Annex C provides information on the static stiffness of piles.
NOTE 3 Informative Annex D provides information on dynamic soil-structure interaction.
NOTE 4 Informative Annex F provides information on the seismic bearing capacity of shallow
foundations.
