This European Standard, BS EN 1991-2 defines imposed loads (models and representative values) associated with road traffic, pedestrian actions and rail traffic which include, when relevant, dynamic effects and centrifugal, braking and acceleration actions and actions for accidental design situations. Imposed loads defined in this standard are intended to be used for the design of new bridges, including piers, abutments, upstand walls, wing walls and flank walls etc., and their foundations. The load models and values given in this standard should be used for the design of retaining walls adjacent to roads and railway lines.
BS EN 1991-2:2003 supersedes DD ENV 1991-3:2000, which is withdrawn.
