Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures

The structural Eurocodes are a set of unified international codes of practice for designing buildings and civil engineering works, and will replace National Codes. They are linked de-facto with EU legislation e.g. the Construction Products Directive and Public Procurement Directives, and their adoption will provide opportunities and benefits to the profession. There are ten Eurocodes with a total of 58 parts covering Basis of Structural Design, actions, the main structural materials, and geotechnical and seismic design. The general rules for the design of concrete structures are given in Eurocode 2. In this part additional necessary information is given for the special area of design of buildings under static loading.
