Temporary works. Application of European Standards in design. Guide
This PAS gives guidance on the application of European Standards to the design of temporary works in the UK when adopted voluntarily, required by the Public Procurement Directive [2] or stipulated by the client.
NOTE See also PAS 8811, Temporary works – Client procedures – Code of practice (in preparation).
It covers:
interpretation of key design approaches applicable to all temporary works including:
recommendations on suitable partial factors and combinations of actions;
recommendations on appropriate analysis approaches;
stability considerations;
considerations on reuse of equipment, as in the case of proprietary equipment;
relationship between the Eurocodes and other European Standards specifically associated with temporary works; and
clarification of design requirements for identified groups of temporary works.
The aim of this PAS is to promote consistency in the design approach to temporary works and remove uncertainties for temporary works designers.
It does not cover issues relating to either the procedural control of temporary works covered in BS 5975 or specific requirements related to client procedures, which are covered in PAS 8811 (in preparation).
This PAS highlights issues to be taken into account by the temporary works designer when selecting the most appropriate standards to adopt, in relation to the transfer of key design data and information across all phases of the design cycle.
This PAS is for use by practitioners in the field of structural and geotechnical design of temporary works.
This PAS provides non-contradictory complementary information (NCCI) with respect to existing standards and other relevant guidance documents.
