[pdf] Designers Guide to EN 1992 1 1 And EN 1992 1 2 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures. General Rules And Rules For Buildings And Structural Fire Design (designers' Guide to Eurocodes)

A concise and practical introduction to the new European Code of Practice for Design of Concrete Structures, EC2.

The book introduces the comprehensive analysis methodology regarding progressive collapse, and the critical issues may happen in concrete structures. Main topics include: the influential parameters of the development of the main load-resisting mechanisms; the dynamic effects with sudden column removal scenarios; the contribution of non-structural components to improve the resilience of concrete structures; uncertainties in progressive collapse analysis. Based on the empirical research of the author and his team, the book provides valuable knowledge in the field of progressive collapse and bridges the gap between academic research and practice.
