The Concrete Eurocode
- Introductory course on Eurocode 2 for concrete structures design.
- Focus on key elements of the new design code.
- Interactive with practical design problems and tutorial examples.
- Suitable for project engineers and graduate engineers.
- Covers material properties, analysis, and design for various limit states.
Overview
The one-day course on EN1992 Parts 1-1 & 1-2 focuses on the design of concrete structures according to Eurocode 2. It covers material properties, analysis, ultimate and serviceability limit states design, lightweight concrete, and structural fire design. The course is interactive with practical design problems and tutorial examples. Suitable for project engineers and graduate engineers, it encourages active participation with limited delegate numbers. The course runs from 8 am to 4 pm, providing course notes in a .pdf format, and includes morning coffee, afternoon tea, and a light lunch.
Who should attend
Project Engineers, Graduate Engineers

EN1992 Parts 1-1 & 1-2 -DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES
COMMON RULES FOR BUILDINGS AND CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES AND STRUCTURAL FIRE DESIGN
This introductory one-day course provides an opportunity to be introduced to Eurocode 2 focusing on the key elements of the new design code.
After a brief introduction to the Eurocode system, the relevant parts of BSEN 1990 (Basis of structural design) and BSEN 1991-1-1 (Actions on structures) will be discussed. It will be followed by detailed coverage of EC2 broadly under the following themes:
• Material properties
• Analysis
• Design for ultimate limit states (bending with and without axial forces, shear, torsion and punching shear)
• Design for serviceability limit state (cracking, deflection)
• Lightweight concrete and
• Structural fire design.
The course is highly interactive with worked tutorial examples and is based on practical design problems. Delegates should bring with them their Codes and the National Annex (for BOTH Part 1.1 & Part 1-2) & a calculator: participation is actively encouraged throughout and delegate numbers are limited to approx. 16 participants to encourage this workshop approach.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Any one who wishes to have an overview of the main provisions of EC2 will benefit by attending the course. Project engineers with responsibility for design and graduate engineers will find the course directly relevant to their day-to-day work.
TIMING
This course starts at 8 am with registration and will run until 4 pm. Course notes are provided to participants as a .pdf file: participants require to print this out beforehand or bring it with them on a laptop. All timings, except the start time, are approximate and may be adjusted to suit natural breaks in the programme.
Morning coffee, afternoon tea and a light lunch are provided
