Accidental actions in steel structures
conference paper
Part 1-7 of EN 1991 covers accidental actions and gives rules and values for impact loads due to road, train and ship traffic and loads due to internal explosions. In this paper, the application of Part 1-7 of EN 1991 for steel structures is explained. Background information and design strategies are given. Also some application examples are presented. It is shown that often relatively simple measures may provide sufficient robustness to prevent disproportionate damage
