Manual for the design of concrete building structures to Eurocode

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/302817.html

One engineer should be responsible for the overall design, including stability,and should ensure the compatibility of the design and details of parts and components even where some or all of the design and details of those parts and components are not made by the same engineer.
The structure should be so arranged that it can transmit permanent(dead) and variable
(wind and imposed)loads in a direct manner to the foundations. The general arrangement should
ensure a robust and stable structure that will not collapse progressively under the effects of misuse or accidental damage to any one element.
The permanent and variable load factors to be used for the proportioning of foundations
should be obtained from EC08 and EC76(see also Section 3.2.1).The factored loads are,
however,required for determining the size of foundation members and for the design of any
reinforcement.
