Building Design to Eurocode 2: Theory and Hands-on

Building Design to Eurocode 2: Theory and Handson Workshop

Introduction

This course explains the main features and changes contained in Eurocode 2 and the accompanying National Annex for UK specific conditions. It covers the Eurocode system, basis of design, structural analysis, material properties, design for bending, shear, compression, deflection and crack control. Delegates have the opportunity to design simple structural elements via worked examples and workshops.

Course Content:

• Basis of structural design, principles of limit state design, partial factors and structural analysis.
• Materials and durability requirements:
  • Design for ultimate limit states
  • Tying systems.
• Design for serviceability limit states:
  • Additional rules for precast concrete and lightweight concrete
  • Structural fire design general principles
  • Structural fire design design procedures.
