In the [[eurocode]] series of [[European Committee for Standardization|European standards]] related to [[construction]], '''''Eurocode 0: Basis of structural design''''' ('''EN 1990''') establishes the basis that sets out the way to use Eurocodes for structural design.

In the [[Eurocode]] series of [[European Committee for Standardization|European standards]] (EN) related to [[construction]], '''''Eurocode: Basis of structural design''''' (informally '''''Eurocode 0'''''; abbreviated '''EN 1990''' or, informally, '''EC 0''') establishes the basis that sets out the way to use Eurocodes for structural design. Eurocode 0 establishes Principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability and durability of structures, describes the basis for their design and verification and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability. Eurocode 0 is intended to be used in conjunction with [[EN 1991]] to [[EN 1999]] for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works, including geotechnical aspects, structural fire design, situations involving earthquakes, execution and temporary structures.

'''ENEurocode 1990'''0 is also applicable:

'''EN 1990''' establishes Principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability and durability of structures, describes the basis for their design and verification and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability.

'''EN 1990''' is intended to be used in conjunction with [[EN 1991]] to [[EN 1999]] for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works, including geotechnical aspects, structural fire design, situations involving earthquakes, execution and temporary structures.

'''EN 1990''' is also applicable:

*for the design of structures where other materials or other actions outside the scope of EN 1991 to EN 1999 are involved,

*for the structural appraisal of existing construction, in developing the design of repairs and alterations or in assessing change of use.

'''ENEurocode 1990'''0 may be used, when relevant, as a guidance document for the design of structures outside the scope of the EN Eurocodes EN 1991 to EN 1999, for:

*assessing other actions and their combinations;

*modelling material and structural behaviour;
