The Concrete Centre itself, the original publisher of the two-volume project, has published other materials that cover the missing topics. The "How to Design Concrete Structures using Eurocode 2" publication is an invaluable companion, providing chapters on , Deflection calculations , Retaining walls , and Structural fire design . This effectively acts as a descriptive guide to supplement the numerical examples found in the JRC and Threlfall books.
While Volume 1 typically covers the fundamentals of beams, columns, and slabs, delves into more complex structural elements and advanced design scenarios. Why Worked Examples are Essential
Using strut-and-tie models, which are crucial for beams where the span-to-depth ratio is small. 2. Advanced Column and Wall Design
This report is a direct and authoritative alternative to the missing Volume 2.
SLS design ensures the structure remains functional and durable during normal use.

Foundation design is arguably the most critical aspect of any structure, as it transmits all loads to the supporting ground. The planned chapters would have offered worked examples for typical foundation types:
Fire resistance is a key aspect of modern building safety. The fire chapter would have provided essential guidance on designing concrete elements to maintain their load-bearing function during a fire. Planned examples likely would have covered:
Bridge design under Eurocode 2 requires a strict harmony between EN 1992-2 and the loading requirements specified in Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-2). Volume 2 emphasizes the safety, durability, and robust detailing of structures subjected to cyclic environmental and traffic actions.
A rectangular slab with a span of 4 meters and a thickness of 0.2 meters is subjected to a permanent load of 2 kN/m^2 and a variable load of 1.5 kN/m^2. The slab is reinforced with a mesh of 10 mm diameter bars at 200 mm spacing.
