Understanding Reinforced Concrete Design | Eurocode 2 Approach

Discover how to design reinforced concrete structures using the Eurocode 2 approach! Whether you're a Civil or Structural Engineer or an undergraduate student diving into the principles of structural design, this video is for you. From understanding the neutral axis of concrete beams to exploring the intricacies of rebar placement, concrete strength, and crack control, we cover it all. In this comprehensive guide, we explain: The fundamentals of reinforced concrete design as outlined in Eurocode 2. How to calculate and ensure compliance with ULS (Ultimate Limit State) and SLS (Serviceability Limit State) requirements. Key aspects of design, including minimum reinforcement areas, shear links, and maintaining structural integrity. We also demonstrate how to use CalcForge, a powerful and free open-source software for reinforced concrete design, to simplify your calculations. For those who enjoy the traditional approach, we show detailed hand calculations to determine the neutral axis position of concrete and analyze its structural behavior.
