BS PAS 8812:2016 gives guidance on the application of European
Standards to the design of temporary works in the
UK when adopted voluntarily, required by the Public
Procurement Directive [2] or stipulated by the client.NOTE See also PAS 8811, Temporary works - Client
procedures - Code of practice (in preparation).It covers:interpretation of key design approaches applicable
to all temporary works including:recommendations on suitable partial factors and
combinations of actions;recommendations on appropriate analysis
approaches;stability considerations;considerations on reuse of equipment, as in the
case of proprietary equipment;relationship between the Eurocodes and other
European Standards specifically associated with
temporary works; andclarification of design requirements for identified
groups of temporary works.The aim of this PAS is to promote consistency in the
design approach to temporary works and remove
uncertainties for temporary works designers.It does not cover issues relating to either the procedural
control of temporary works covered in BS 5975 or
specific requirements related to client procedures,
which are covered in PAS 8811 (in preparation).This PAS highlights issues to be taken into account
by the temporary works designer when selecting the
most appropriate standards to adopt, in relation to
the transfer of key design data and information across
all phases of the design cycle. This PAS is for use by
practitioners in the field of structural and geotechnical
design of temporary works.This PAS provides non-contradictory complementary
information (NCCI) with respect to existing standards
and other relevant guidance documents.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
