In-house course

This course can be delivered in the offices of a company to a group of up to 16 engineers. It is currently not available as a public course.

​

Introduction

Eurocode 2 is the new design standard for the design of elements in concrete buildings. This course will provide background to the provisions in the code and explain how to apply them to building structures. Practical workshop sessions allow delegates to get to grips with the details and be confident of using Eurocode 2 for real projects.

​

• Have an understanding of the content of Eurocode 2 for building structures

• Be able to find their way around Eurocode 2

• Have an understanding of the content of Eurocode 2 for buildings, including:

  • Materials

  • Durability

  • Structural

  • Analysis

• Know how to apply Eurocode 2 to:
