Eurocode 2: Context
34
Code deals with phenomenon, rather than element types so
Bending, Shear, Torsion, Punching, Crack control, Deflection
control (not beams, slabs, columns)
Design is based on characteristic cylinder strength
No derived formulae (e.g. only the details of the stress block is
given, not the flexural design formulae)
No tips (e.g. concentrated loads, column loads, )
Unit of stress in MPa
Plain or mild steel not covered
Notional horizontal loads considered in addition to lateral loads
High strength, up to C90/105 covered
No materials and workmanship

Eurocode 2 & the UK
what does it mean?
A paper by Moss and Webster (BS8110 vs EC2, TSE 16/03/04)
concluded:
big impact
learning curve
not wildly different from BS8110 in terms of the design approach.
similar answers
marginally more economic.
less prescriptive and more extensive than BS8110
gives designers the opportunity to derive benefit from the
considerable advances in concrete technology over recent years
believe that after an initial acclimatisation period, EC2 will be
generally regarded as a very good code.
