(1) EN 1992-4 provides a design method for fastenings (connection of structural elements and non-structural elements to structural components), which are used to transmit actions to the concrete. NOTE 1 Additional rules for the transmission of the fastener loads within the concrete member to its supports are given in EN 1992 1 1:2004, 2.7 and Annex A of this EN. NOTE 2 Inserts embedded in precast concrete elements during production, under Factory Production Control (FPC) conditions and with the due reinforcement, intended for use only during transient situations for lifting and handling, are covered by CEN/TR 15728. (2) EN 1992-4 is intended for safety related applications in which the failure of fastenings can result in collapse or partial collapse of the structure, cause risk to human life or lead to significant economic loss. (3) The support of the fixture can be either statically determinate or statically indeterminate. Each support can consist of one fastener or a group of fasteners. (4) EN 1992-4 is valid for applications which fall within the scope of the EN 1992 series. In applications where special considerations apply, e.g. nuclear power plants or civil defence structures, modifications can be necessary. (5) EN 1992-4 does not cover the design of the fixture. NOTE Rules for the design of the fixture are given in the appropriate standards meeting the requirements on the fixture as given in EN 1992-4.
