Performance Criteria: Objective standards set to evaluate whether a structure meets its intended function, often referenced in project specifications and standards such as Eurocode.
Eurocode: A set of European standards providing principles, rules, and requirements for the design of structures, ensuring safety, durability, and serviceability.
Basic Requirements (Exigences de base): Fundamental conditions that a structure must satisfy, including resistance, durability, serviceability, fire resistance, and robustness.
States of Limit (États limites): Conditions beyond which a structure no longer fulfills safety or serviceability requirements, such as failure modes or excessive deformation.
Reliability and Safety Coefficients: Factors (γF, γM) applied to characteristic values of actions and resistances to account for uncertainties, ensuring a desired level of safety.
