National Annex NA (informative) to
BS EN 1995-2:2004, Eurocode 5: Design of
timber structures – Part 2: Bridges
Introduction
This National Annex has been prepared by BSI Subcommittee B/525/5,
Structural use of timber. In the UK it is to be used in conjunction with
BS EN 1995-2 for the structural design of timber bridges, together with
BS EN 1995-1-1, BS EN 1990 and BS EN 1991 and their respective
National Annexes.
NA.1 Scope
This National Annex gives:
a) the UK decisions for the Nationally Determined Parameters
described in the following subclauses of BS EN 1995-2:2004:
• 2.3.1.2(1)
• 2.4.1
• 7.2
--`,``,,``,,`,,`,`,,,,,,,,,,,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
• 7.3.1(2)
b) the UK decisions on the status of BS EN 1995-2:2004 informative
annexes;
c) reference to non-contradictory complementary information.
NA.2 Nationally Determined Parameters
NA.2.1 Assignment of loads to load-duration classes
[BS EN 1995-2:2004, 2.3.1.2(1)]
Variable actions due to the passage of vehicular and pedestrian traffic
should be regarded as short-term actions.
Actions occurring during erection should be regarded as short-term
actions.

NA.2.2 Partial factors for material properties
[BS EN 1995-2:2004, 2.4.1]
BS EN 1995-2:2004, Table 2.1 is implemented nationally by using
Table NA.1.
Table NA.1 Partial factors γM for material properties
Fundamental combinations Solid timber – untreated γM = 1,3
Solid timber – preservatively treated γM = 1,3
Glued laminated timber γM = 1,25
LVL, plywood, OSB γM = 1,2
Connections γM = 1,3
Shear connectors between timber and concrete in composite members γM,v = 1,25
Steel used in composite members γM,s = 1,15
Pre-stressing steel elements γM,s = 1,15
Concrete used in composite members γM,c = 1,5
Fatigue combinations Timber and wood-based materials γM,fat = 1,0
Connections γM,fat = 1,0
Shear connectors between timber and concrete in composite members γM,v,fat = 1,0
Accidental combinations All materials γM,acc = 1,0
NA.2.3 Limiting values for deflections
[BS EN 1995-2:2004, 7.2]
BS EN 1995-2:2004, Table 7.1 is implemented nationally by using
Table NA.2.
Table NA.2 Limiting values for deflections of beams and trusses
Action Limiting value for deflections in
beams and trusses of span, l
Characteristic traffic load l/400
Pedestrian load and low traffic load l/200

NA.2.4 Damping ratios [BS EN 1995-2:2004, 7.3.1(2)]
Where no other values have been verified, the damping ratio (ζ) should
be taken as:
ζ = 0,010 for structures without mechanical joints;
ζ = 0,015 for structures with mechanical joints.
