Eurocode 1 (EN1991) offers information on the actions to be considered in the design of buildings and public works.

It is made up of four parts, of which the first is divided into two, and deals with densities, own weights and loads imposed on the building, as well as actions of fire, snow, wind, thermal and rheological effects, loads during execution and accidental actions.

The remaining three parts are more specific and deal with traffic loads on bridges, actions of cranes and machinery, silos, tanks, etc.
