Full title and description

SP 178.1325800.2014 — Национальное приложение к EN 1991-4:2006 (Eurocode 1). Actions on structures — Part 4: Silos and tanks. National application / annex setting national choices and parameters for the application of EN 1991‑4 in the Russian Federation.

Abstract

This document is the Russian national annex (СП) associated with Eurocode EN 1991‑4:2006 (Actions on structures — Part 4: Silos and tanks). It accompanies the full Eurocode text by providing the national foreword and the nationally determined parameters where the Eurocode leaves options for national choice, and gives the values and rules to be used on the territory of the Russian Federation when designing silos, bunkers and storage tanks for particulate solids and fluids.

General information

• Status: Active.
• Publication date: 2014 (designation year: 2014).
• Publisher: Published as a Russian national technical document (СП — Свод правил); prepared under national bodies responsible for construction standards (work by NIЦ "Строительство" / Central research institute of building structures as indicated in the national foreword).
• ICS / categories: Related to construction standards and actions on structures — ICS 91.010.30 (technical aspects of structural actions) and related building-structures categories (Eurocode 1 family).
• Edition / version: First issue under the SP designation (2014).
• Number of pages: 10 pages (national annex document length as distributed in electronic form).

Scope

The scope of SP 178.1325800.2014 is to provide the national application (nationally determined parameters and explanatory notes) to EN 1991‑4:2006 for the design of silos, bunkers and tanks used to store particulate solids and fluids within the Russian Federation. It specifies the national choices where the Eurocode allows variation, and therefore is intended to be used together with the full Eurocode text and with EN 1990 (Basis of design) and other relevant Eurocode parts.

Key topics and requirements

• Nationally determined parameters for actions on silos and tanks (values and options left open by EN 1991‑4).
• Rules for representation and combination of loads specific to silos and tanks: static pressures from stored solids and fluids, surcharge and eccentric discharge loads, flow-induced loads and transient discharge effects.
• Considerations for wind and environmental actions as they interact with silo/tank loading (used in combination with other EN 1991 parts and the national choices).
• Guidance on application of EN 1991‑4 clauses with national numerical values or selections required for design in Russia.
• Reference to national foreword, application principles and mandatory use of the national annex where Eurocode text indicates national choice.

Typical use and users

Used by structural and civil engineers, silo and tank designers, construction regulatory authorities, and standards/practice managers who apply Eurocode procedures in the Russian Federation. Typical applications include the structural design and verification of storage silos, hoppers, bunkers, tanks and related supporting structures subject to stored-material pressures, discharge loads and environmental actions.

Related standards

Directly related to EN 1991‑4:2006 (Eurocode 1 Part 4) and to EN 1990 (Basis of structural design). In the Russian system it is part of the set of national applications (СП / НП) implementing the Eurocodes (for example, other SP documents in the 2014 series implement other EN parts). Designers should also consult the full EN 1991‑4 text, EN 1992–EN 1999 as relevant, and national EN‑related standards adopted in Russia.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SP 178.1325800.2014 is the Russian national application (national annex) to EN 1991‑4:2006 (Eurocode 1 — Actions on structures, Part 4: Silos and tanks). It provides the national choices and parameters required for applying EN 1991‑4 in Russia.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the nationally determined values and guidance where EN 1991‑4 leaves options for national choice, and explains how to apply EN 1991‑4 rules for loads on silos, bunkers and tanks (pressures from solids and fluids, discharge-related loads, combinations with environmental actions, etc.) within the Russian regulatory context.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural and geotechnical engineers, silo/tank designers, code compliance reviewers and construction authorities applying Eurocode‑based methods in projects located in the Russian Federation. It is used alongside the full EN 1991‑4 Eurocode text.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Distributed sources list SP 178.1325800.2014 as active; it is the national annex edition associated with the 2014 SP series. Users should check the latest national standards registry or publisher for any amendments or newer editions before use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one of the national applications (СП) implementing the Eurocodes in Russia; it is used in conjunction with other SP documents that implement EN 1990 and other EN 199x series parts relevant for structural design.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Eurocode, EN 1991‑4, silos, tanks, stored solids, granular pressure, national annex, СП, Russia, actions on structures.
