| Abstract: |
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) officially created the Technical Committee CEN-TC 340:Anti-seismic Devicesin 1993. The mission of this TC was to proceed with the standardization of devices for use in structures erected in seismic areas and designed in accordance with EUROCODE 8:Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance. This European Standard, named EN 15129, specifies functional requirements of Seismic Hardware and general design rules thereof, material characteristics, manufacturing and testing requirements, as well as acceptance, installation and maintenance criteria of all the types of seismic devices. The scope of the paper is that of illustrating the structure of EN 15129, the criteria adopted in its drafting, the procedures followed for its approval, and some of the aspects which render this Standard unique and innovative. |
