BS EN 1992-2:2005

This standard BS EN 1992-2:2005 Eurocode 2. Design of concrete structures is classified in these ICS categories:

• 93.040 Bridge construction
• 91.080.40 Concrete structures
• 91.010.30 Technical aspects

(101)P Part 2 of Eurocode 2 gives a basis for the design of bridges and parts of bridges in plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete made with normal and light weight aggregates.

(102)P The following subjects are dealt with in Part 2.

Section 1: General

Section 2: Basis of design

Section 3: Materials

Section 4: Durability and cover to reinforcement

Section 5: Structural analysis

Section 6: Ultimate limit states

Section 7: Serviceability limit states

Section 8: Detailing of reinforcement and prestressing tendons — General

Section 9: Detailing of members and particular rules

Section 10: Additional rules for precast concrete elements and structures

Section 11: Lightweight aggregate concrete structures

Section 12: Plain and lightly reinforced concrete structures

Section 113: Design for the execution stages

BS EN 1992-2 gives principles and application rules for the design of concrete bridges in addition to those stated in BS EN 1992-1-1. All relevant clauses of BS EN 1992-1-1 are applicable unless specifically deleted or varied by BS EN 1992-2. Clauses of EN 1992-1-1 that apply to the design of bridges are listed at the beginning of each section. In addition to dealing with the design requirements at various limit states, the code also provides guidance on safety format for non-linear analysis. Twelve informative annexes provide detailed guidance on specific topics.
