A new tool to ease the transition from BS 8110 to the new Eurocodes has been published by The Concrete Centre. Concise Eurocode 2 cuts through all the relevant Eurocodes and UK National Annexes to give simple guidance on how to design building structures to Eurocode 2. The main thrust of the guide is to put the requirements of Parts 1-1 and 1-2 of Eurocode 2 into plain English and into a logical order. It starts by explaining the basis of design, materials and analysis, before dealing with the phenomena of bending and axial force, shear, punching shear, torsion and serviceability - as per the code.
