Organization: ISO
Publication Date: 1 March 2013
Status: active
Page Count: 48
ICS Code (Structures of buildings in general): 91.080.01
scope:

This International Standard covers physical quantities in a general sense. The kernel-index-method enables to form (compound) symbols of physical quantities related to a particular material and/or a particular technical field of design of structures.

It also gives the main names, symbols, and units for physical quantities within the field of design of structures.

Annex A in a general sense covers 'generic quantities' which are genuine to this field. The Kernel-index-method can likewise be applied.
