Preface Reinforced Concrete Design to Euro code 2 seventh edition :

The purpose of this book is to provide a straightforward introduction to the principles and methods of design for concrete structures. It is directed primarily at students and young engineers who require an understanding of the basic theory and a concise guide to design procedures. Although the detailed design methods are generally according to European Standards (Euro codes), much of the theory and practice is of a fundamental nature and should, therefore, be useful to engineers in countries outside Europe.

 The search for harmonization of Technical Standards across the European Community (EC) has led to the development of a series of these Structural Euro codes which are the technical documents intended for adoption throughout all the member states. The use of these common standards is intended to lower trade barriers and enable companies to compete on a more equitable basis throughout the EC. Euro code 2 (EC2) deals with the design of concrete structures and, in the UK, has replaced BS8110. Euro code 2 consist of 4 parts and adopts the limit state principles established in British Standards. 

This book refers primarily to part 1, dealing with general rules for buildings. Euro code 2 must be used in conjunction with other European Standards including Euro code 0 (Basis of Design) that deals with analysis and Euro code 1 (Actions) that covers loading's on structures. Other relevant Standards are Euro code 7 (Geotechnical Design) and Euro code 8 (Seismic Design). Several UK bodies have also produced a range of supporting documents giving commentary and background explanation.

 Further supporting documentation includes, for each separate country, the National Annex which includes information specific to the individual member states and is supported in the UK by the British Standards publication PD 6687:2006 which provides background information. Additionally, the Concrete Centre has produced The Concise Euro code for the Design of Concrete Buildings which contains material that has been distilled from EC2 but is presented in a way that makes it more user-friendly than the main Euro code and contains only that information which is essential for the design of more everyday concrete structures. The Institution of Structural Engineers has also produced a new edition of their Design Manual. 

These latter two documents also contain information not included in EC2 such as design charts and design methods drawn from previous British Standards. The presentation of EC2 is oriented towards computer solution of equations, encompasses higher concrete strengths and is quite different from that of BS8110.
