RC Design 1 (Eurocode)

Reinforced concrete design to EN 1992-1-1, with EN 1990 load combinations, for students who work to the Eurocodes. The same eight lessons as RC Design 1, each on the Eurocode 2 route of a STATIX calculator.

Lessons

Lesson 1Beams in bendingEN 1990 combinations, design strengths, the stress block, K and K′, cover and the bars. Lesson 2Doubly reinforced and flanged beamsCompression steel and its yield check, the effective flange width, the neutral axis in the flange or the web. Lesson 3Shear and linksV_Rd,c, the variable strut angle, V_Rd,s and V_Rd,max, minimum links and spacing. Lesson 4Deflection and crackingSpan over depth (7.4.2), long-term deflection, bar size and spacing, and the crack width. Lesson 5ColumnsSlenderness and λ_lim, imperfections, nominal curvature, unequal end moments and biaxial bending. Lesson 6Two-way slabsThe plate method, corners, the two layers of steel, minimum steel and spacing, span over depth and shear. Lesson 7Footings and punchingBearing pressure and the EN 1997-1 approaches, bending and shear at the face, punching on a column base. Lesson 8Detailing and the bending scheduleCover with Δc_dev, bond and anchorage, laps, bend formers, spacing, and the schedule in SANS 282 shapes.

Who it is for

Students at universities and colleges that teach to the Eurocodes.
Graduate engineers moving to Eurocode projects.
Engineers who know the SA code and want the Eurocode side by side: every lesson links its twin in RC Design 1 (SANS 10100-1).

Which values the lessons use

EN 1992-1-1 leaves some values to each country’s national annex. The lessons follow the calculators’ Eurocode 2 route: EN 1990 equation 6.10 with the recommended factors, and the recommended values of EN 1992-1-1, except α_cc, which is 0.85 for bending and axial load and 1.0 for shear. Each lesson says which values it uses, so you can compare them with your own country’s annex. The SA annex (SANS 51992-1-1) is a separate route on the calculators.

The STATIX tools it uses

The RC beam and crack width and deflection calculators.
The RC column and slab design calculators.
The pad footing and punching shear calculators, and the project board for the schedule.

How each lesson works

Learning outcomes and what you need before you start.
Short theory with many sketches, with clause numbers to look up in your own copy of the code.
Worked examples by hand, every number shown, checked against the STATIX calculators.
The same problem in a STATIX calculator.
Exercises with answers, a short self-check quiz and the lesson on one page.

Universities and colleges

Universities and colleges: one licence for the department; students sign in with their university email. Lecturers can use the lessons and the calculators in class and in tutorials.

Course material for learning. Check every value against the current codes and have every design checked by a registered professional engineer.
