EN1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures is of fundamental importance to civil engineers given the predominance of concrete in civil engineering construction. The first part of the code, covering common design rules and design requirements for fire, is likely to be approved in January 2002 and should be released in EN standard form by 2003.The second and third parts, covering design of bridges and liquid-retaining structures respectively, are due for release in 2005.This paper looks primarily at the two sections that make up the first part. It explains the principles of ultimate and serviceability limit state design and the requirements for shear, durability and fire in particular. It also lists the other European standards to which concrete designers will need to refer.
