Do you prefer using the official "Worked Examples" series, or do you rely on software (Tekla, TEDDS, etc.) for your EC2 compliance checks?
That is precisely why of the "Worked Examples" (published by The Concrete Centre/Institution of Structural Engineers) remains a gold standard.
If you design concrete for a living and only own Volume 1, you are only half prepared. Worked Examples To Eurocode 2 Volume 2
🔹 It doesn't just give you the numbers; it shows you the rebar layout. Anchorage lengths, curtailment, and congestion solutions are illustrated step-by-step.
The worked examples assume you already know the code. They are dense, highly technical, and not for beginners. But for a senior engineer designing a transfer structure or a water-retaining tank? Pure gold. Do you prefer using the official "Worked Examples"
"Worked Examples to Eurocode 2 Volume 2" is the missing manual for: ✅ Strut-and-tie models ✅ Deep beams & corbels ✅ Pile caps ✅ Crack control for water-tight structures
🔹 While Volume 1 covers fundamentals (beams, slabs, columns), Volume 2 dives into the tricky stuff— discontinuity regions (D-regions), deep beams, corbels, and pile caps. 🔹 It doesn't just give you the numbers;
While Volume 1 of the "Worked Examples to Eurocode 2" serves as an excellent primer for routine member design, Volume 2 is where the complexity escalates. This publication is intended for practicing engineers who need to apply EC2 to structures that fall outside the standard beam-slab-column paradigm.
