• Assessment and Retrofitting of existing structures for non-seismic actions is not yet covered by the relevant material-dependent Euro-Codes (or existing National Codes).
• The “framework” of the EC 8-3 (and the nGCSI) was specifically developed because :
For many older structures, seismic resistance was not considered during the original design/construction, whereas non-seismic actions were catered for, at least by means of “traditional” construction rules.
Seismic hazard evaluations in accordance with present knowledge may indicate the need for retrofitting programmes and campaings (“active” or “passive”).
Damage caused by earthquakes may create the need for major and costly structural interventions
(repair/strengthening), not to mention other consequences.

NOTE 1
The definition of the LS of NC given in EC 8-3 is different than that given in EC 8-1.
Thus, the LS of NC is closer to the actual collapse and corresponds to the fullest exploitation of the deformation capacity of the structural elements.

NOTE 2
• Distinction between “ductile” or “brittle” structural elements and mechanisms, i.e. deformation or strength controlled ones.
See additional details and rules given by the nGCSI(μ 2 , μφ 3).
• Distinction between “primary” (P) or “secondary” (S) seismic structural elements, using more or less conservative estimates of their capacities.

EC8-3 / STATE OF DAMAGE IN THE STRUCTURE
Three (3) LIMIT STATES (LS’s), namelyNear Collapse (NC), Significant Damage (SD) and Damage Limitation (DL).
The National Authorities decide whether all three LS’s shall be checked, or two of them, or just one of them.
NC : Pe = 2% in Lt = 50 years, Tr = 2.475 years
SD: Pe = 10% in Lt = 50 years, Tr = 475 years
DL: Pe = 20% in Lt = 50 years, Tr = 225 years

Since existing structures (old ones, damaged or not) :(i) reflect the state of knowledge at the time of their construction, (ii) possibly contain hidden gross errors and problems, and (iii) may have been submitted to previous actions (accidental or not) with unknown effects, structural evaluation/assessment, structural intervention and redesign (if needed) are typically subjected to a different and a more complex degree of uncertainly than the design of new structures.
Therefore, different sets of partial safety and structural safety factors are required, as well as different analysis, dimensioning and verification procedures, depending (among others) on the completeness and reliability of the information available.

EC8-3 / Capacities of ductile or brittle structural elements
• In general, mean value properties of the existing materials are used, as directly obtained from in-situ tests and from the additional sources of information, appropriately divided by the confidence factor (CF), accounting for the knowledge level (KL) attained.
• Especially for brittle primary seismic elements, their strengths shall be based on material strengths divided by appropriate partial safety factors (γm), taking into account that the γm values of the EC 8-1 are meant for the design of new buildings.
