Example: a bridge deck launched with a counterweight where loss of static equilibrium may be possible

Where the results of a verification are very sensitive to variations of the magnitude of a permanent action from place to place in the structure, the unfavourable and the favourable parts of this action shall be considered as individual actions
and can be simplified as: The combination of action in curly braces {} can be expressed as:
where "+" implies "to be combined with" implies "the combined effect of"
Ad - design value of the accidental action Combinations of actions for seismic design situation
The partial factors for properties of materials and products should be obtained from EN 1992 to EN 1999
Serviceability limit states in buildings should take into account criteria related, for example, to floor stiffness, differential floor levels, storey sway or/and building sway and roof stiffness. Stiffness criteria may be expressed in terms of limits for vertical deflections and for vibrations. Sway criteria may be expressed in terms of limits for horizontal displacements.
The appropriate combinations of actions should be selected depending on serviceability requirements and performance criteria imposed for the particular project, the client or the relevant national authority
For serviceability limit states the partial factors M for the properties of materials should be taken as 1.0 except if differently specified in EN 1992 to EN 1999.
