Provisions of the UK NA for EN 1991-2 for Highway and Footbridges

BS EN 1991-2 was published in 2003 to provide the traffic load on bridges. The UK National Annex (NA) to BS EN 1991-2 was published in 2008 and a UK Published Document is under preparation. The paper only covers highway bridges and footbridges. Rail bridges will be covered in a separate paper.

The works on the preparation of UK National Annex and Publication Document were undertaken by Atkins, TRL, Flint and Neill, Parsons Brinckerhoff and Arup for the Highways Agency. The paper describes the background to the development of the NA to BS EN 1991-2.
