Design of concrete and reinforced concrete components in ­accordance with EC2

New DAfStb Issues 630 and 631 supersede Issues 220 and 240

Issues (“Hefte”) 220 and 240 published by the German Committee for Structural Concrete (DAfStb) have been widely used in engineering practice ever since their first editions appeared. These guidelines proved to be valuable aids in both structural design and structural integrity verification. Issue 220 primarily provides guidance, tables and nomograms for ULS design (combined bending and axial load, shear, torsion) and verification of buckling safety. Issue 240 concentrates on guidance and recommendations for determining internal forces (for framed structures, slabs, deep beams), SLS...
