Magnitude
Magnitude is a measure of the size (or energy release)
of the earthquake.
Each unit increase in magnitude scale is about a three
times increase in ground motion for the same distance
from the event. It is also about a 30 times increase in
energy release.

Allows for evolving design
methods
Can be applied to wide
range of design situations
in different locations
Cons
Can be daunting for
those with little design
experience
Less straightforward to
use
Could be ambiguous

Design Philosophy
Limit State Design is adopted in all Eurocodes
Defined in EN 1990
Fundamentally, all ULS and SLS shall be considered and
verified where applicable
Verification of Limit States should be carried out by either
the partial factor, or probabilistic methods
Important Considerations:

Note that the shear capacity of the beams and columns must be able to
resist a shear force derived from the bending moment strength capacities
considering actual reinforcement provided and material overstrength
(material probable strength being higher than the design strength value)
