    • Densities of construction materials and stored materials;

    • Self-weight of construction works;

    • Imposed loads for buildings.

  2. Section 4 and Annex A give nominal values for densities of specific building materials, additional materials for bridges and stored materials. In addition for specific materials the angle of repose is provided.

  3. Section 5 provides methods for the assessment of the characteristic values of self-weight of construction works.
