Sec.3
J 300 Load effects in structures and
soil or foundation
Sec.3 J
301 Displacements, forces or stresses in the structure and foundation,
shall be determined for relevant combinations of loads by means
of recognised methods, which take adequate account of the variation
of loads in time and space, the motions of the structure and the
design condition which shall be verified. Characteristic values
of the load effects shall be determined.
Sec.3 J
302 Non-linear and dynamic effects associated with loads and structural
response, shall be accounted for when relevant.
Sec.3 J
303 The stochastic nature of environmental loads should be adequately
accounted for.

304 Description of the different types of analyses are covered
in the sections for special considerations for each type of unit
