Application issues of Eurocodes in building design in the Russian Federation

Abstract

With the development and simplification of The article describes the application of European norms in the domestic practice for the design of reinforced concrete structures using European norms Eurocode-2. For Eurocode-2, the number of nationally defined parameters is more than a hundred. These are different coefficients, shrinkage, creep of concrete, thickness of protective layers of concrete for steel fittings depending on the type, environment of operation, etc. Differ in the SNIP on the design of designs and individual Eurocodes, the size and shape of the samples tested to determine the strength (regulatory] characteristics of building materials, making it impossible to apply many of the calculation formulas directly. Addressing these issues is a rather capacious task. Many series of prototypes will be reguired only to determine statistically reliable transitional coefficients for the strength of the materials used in SNIP and Eurocodes.
