Hello, I am currently working on a new project which requires the use of Eurocode which I am not yet too familiar with. I was wondering if there is a specific section in Eurocode 2 or Eurocode 8 which dictates the requirement of anchoring equipment in seismically active locations. I am assuming there is a requirement similar to ASCE 7, Chapter 13.

I have had no luck with my search. And have even checked the National Annexes. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate that!
