Worked Examples To Eurocode 2 Volume 2 -

The slab requires additional shear reinforcement.

Eurocode 2 (EC2) is a widely used European standard for the design of concrete structures. It provides a comprehensive framework for the design of buildings and civil engineering works, ensuring their safety, durability, and sustainability. To facilitate the application of EC2, several worked examples have been developed to illustrate its practical use. This article presents a selection of worked examples from Volume 2 of the Eurocode 2 series, covering various aspects of concrete structure design.

The column is checked for buckling:

VEd = 1.35 x (10 x 6 / 2) + 1.5 x (5 x 6 / 2) = 54.5 kN

A rectangular beam with a span of 6 meters and a cross-sectional area of 0.3 x 0.6 meters is subjected to a permanent load of 10 kN/m and a variable load of 5 kN/m. The beam is reinforced with 4 longitudinal bars of 16 mm diameter and 2 stirrups of 8 mm diameter. worked examples to eurocode 2 volume 2

As.provided = (π x (10/2)^2) / 0.2 = 392 mm^2

The slab is checked for punching shear:

VRd,c = 0.12 x (1 + (0.6/0.3)) x 0.3 x 0.6 x 25 = 45.9 kN

Using EC2, the design bending moment is calculated as: The slab requires additional shear reinforcement

As.provided = 4 x π x (16/2)^2 = 804 mm^2
