BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014
This standard BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures is classified in these ICS categories:
- 91.080.40 Concrete structures
- 91.010.30 Technical aspects
1.1.1 Scope of Eurocode 2
P Eurocode 2 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990: Basis of structural design.
P Eurocode 2 is only concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of concrete structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered.
P Eurocode 2 is intended to be used in conjunction with:
EN 1990: Basis of structural design EN 1991: Actions on structures hEN’s: Construction products relevant for concrete structures ENV 13670: Execution of concrete structures EN 1997: Geotechnical design EN 1998: Design of structures for earthquake resistance, when concrete structures are built in seismic regions. P Eurocode 2 is subdivided into the following parts:
| Part 1.1: | General rules and rules for buildings |
| Part 1.2: | Structural fire design |
| Part 2: | Reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges |
| Part 3: | Liquid retaining and containing structures |
1.1.2 Scope of Part 1-1 of Eurocode 2
P Part 1-1 of Eurocode 2 gives a general basis for the design of structures in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete made with normal and light weight aggregates together with specific rules for buildings.
P The following subjects are dealt with in Part 1-1.
Section 1: General Section 2: Basis of design Section 3: Materials Section 4: Durability and cover to reinforcement Section 5: Structural analysis Section 6: Ultimate limit states Section 7: Serviceability limit states Section 8: Detailing of reinforcement and prestressing tendons - General Section 9: Detailing of members and particular rules Section 10: Additional rules for precast concrete elements and structures Section 11: Lightweight aggregate concrete structures Section 12: Plain and lightly reinforced concrete structures P Sections 1 and 2 provide additional clauses to those given in EN 1990 “Basis of structural design”.
P This Part 1-1 does not cover:
the use of plain reinforcement
resistance to fire;
particular aspects of special types of building (such as tall buildings);
particular aspects of special types of civil engineering works (such as viaducts, bridges, dams, pressure vessels, offshore platforms or liquid-retaining structures);
no-fines concrete and aerated concrete components, and those made with heavy aggregate or containing structural steel sections (see Eurocode 4 for composite steel-concrete structures).
This design standard provides requirements for design and detailing of concrete structures. The chapters are laid out generally on the basis of phenomena. The normative text comprises principles (identified with P after the clause number) and application rules. The principles apply to all concrete structures. The code also incorporates particular rules for building structures. The code uses limit state design philosophy and covers the commonly applicable limit states. A number of nationally determined parameters are allowed to cater for safety factors and for the differing geographical, geological and climatic conditions throughout Europe. The code represents the up-to-date knowledge and experience of some 28 countries across Europe.
