The purpose of this book is to provide a straightforward introduction to the principles and methods of design for concrete structures. It is directed primarily at students and young engineers or designers who require an understanding of the basic theory and a concise guide to design procedures. Although the detailed design methods are generally according to European Standards (Eurocodes), much of the theory and practice is of a fundamental nature and should, therefore, be useful to engineers in countries outside Europe. The search for harmonization of Technical Standards across the European Community (EC) has led to the development of a series of these Structural Eurocodes which are the technical documents intended for adoption throughout all the member states. The use of these common standards is intended to lower trade barriers and enable companies to compete on a more equitable basis throughout the EC. Eurocode 2 (EC2) deals with the design of concrete structures and, in the UK, has replaced BS8110. Eurocode 2 consist of 4 parts and adopts the limit state principles established in British Standards. This book refers primarily to part 1, dealing with general rules for buildings. Eurocode 2 must be used in conjunction with other European Standards including Eurocode 0 (Basis of Design) that deals with analysis and Eurocode 1 (Actions) that covers loadings on structures. Other relevant Standards are Eurocode 7 (Geotechnical Design) and Eurocode 8 (Seismic Design).
