NATIONAL ANNEX (INFORMATIVE) TO SLS EN 1992-3 : 2016

EUROCODE 2 : DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES –
PART 3 : LIQUID RETAINING AND CONTAINMENT STRUCTURES

INTRODUCTION

This National Annex has been prepared by the Working group on the development of the National
Annexes to Euro Codes (SC35/WG/12), design of concrete structures. It is to be used in
conjunction with SLS EN 1992-3 : 2012.

This National Annex was approved by the Sectoral Committee on Building and Construction
Materials and was authorized for adoption and publication as a Sri Lanka National Annex by the
Council of the Sri Lanka Standards Institution on 2016-05-26.

In the preparation of this National Annex, the assistance derived from the publication of the
British Standards Institution (BSI), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the
Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) is gratefully acknowledged.

Sub clause Nationally Euro code recommendation Sri Lanka decision

Determined
Parameter

7.3.1(111) Values of wk1 For hD/h ≤ 5, wk1 = 0.2 mm Use the recommended
For hD/h ≥ 35, wk1 = 0.05 mm values
For intermediate values of hD /h linear
interpolation between 0.2 and 0.05 may
be used
7.3.1 (112) Value of xmin The lesser of 50 mm or 0.2h where h is Use the recommended
the element thickness values

7.3.3 Maximum bar Figure 7.103N and Figure 7.104N Use the recommended
diameter and values
bar spacing

8.10.1.3(10 Value of k 0.25 Use the recommended

3) values

9.11.1 Value of t1 t1 = 120 mm Use the recommended

(102) and t2 t2 = 150 mm  values

NA.3 Decisions on the status of informative annexes

SLS EN 1992-3: 2012, Annexes L, M and N may be used.

SLS EN 1992-3: 2012, Annex K should not be used. PD 6687-1 [1] includes an alternative
