| Abstract: | According to the German National Annex to DIN EN 1996‐3, a calculative verification of the bracing system may be omitted if, besides other requirements, an obviously sufficient number of sufficiently long shear walls is in place. If it is questionable whether a building complies with this requirement, a time‐consuming verification of the bracing system according to DIN EN 1996‐1‐1/NA is unavoidable. This article therefore presents a simplified verification method for the bracing system, which will prospectively be included in the next revision of DIN EN 1996‐3. The simplified bracing verification can already be used as a decision‐making aid to omit the calculative bracing verification according to DIN EN 1996‐1‐1/NA. |
