Manual for Detailing Reinforced Concrete Structures to EC2

Abstract

This book begins with an introductory chapter that summarises specifications on concrete cover, reinforcing bar placement and spacing, hook bending radii, anchorages and bar welding. It also briefly discusses questions that have been scantily addressed in most countries’ codes, such as how bars should be tied or spacers and chairs placed. The second chapter is a description of the 213 construction details that comprise the book.
