Comparisons with current practice – Concrete design
• Uses cylinder strength ( ≈ 0.8fcu )• More rooted in plasticity theory• Consistent approach for reinforced concrete and
prestressed concrete• Greater coverage of non-linear analysis and time

γ = 1.15 as BS 5400

Overall effect on Flexural design at ULS
• Compression steel more advantage than in BS 5400 but otherwise Very Similar
• Some change due to loading (e.g. switching from the old “HB” abnormal loads to new loads similar to the loads already used in BD 86 assessment

Case 1: No designed links
• For RC approach and results fairly similar to BS 5400 except more benefit for compression
• For Prestressed approach same as for RC with axial load. Tends to be more conservative than BS 5400, except for external prestress.

Case 2: Designed Links
• Unlike BS 5400 which uses the addition principle ( V = Vconcrete + Vlinks)
• In EN 1992 - shear is taken by the links once the shear strength without links are exceeded and the strength is calculated using the varying angle truss approach

Strength limited by Links
VRd,S = (Asw / s) *z * fywd * cot θ
whereAsw / s = Link Area / Spacingz = Lever Arm (normally 0,9d for RC)fywd = Design yield strength of links
(i.e. with γ factor of 1,15)θ = Angle of struts (1< cotθ <2,5)

Strength limited by Concrete
VRd,max = αcw * b * w * z * ν1 * fcd / (cot θ + tan θ)
where αcw = Coefficient taking account of
compression stress (1.0 for R.C. can be up to 1.25)
bw = Web width (after reductions for ducts)
fcd = Design concrete strength(As in flexure but αcc can be 1.0)

Choice of θ
For minimum links cot θ = 2.5
But, for maximum shear cot θ = 1.0 (45o truss)
If shear too great for cot θ of 2.5 but within limit,
optimum is with:
VRd,s = VRd.max
for higher shear, pays to use 80% yield

conservative for these• Design calculations more complicated (can optimise θ for

Table 7.101N – Recommended values for wmax & relevant combination rules
a For X0, XC1 exposure classes, crack width has no influence on durability and this limit is set to guarantee acceptable appearance. In the absence of appearance conditions this limit may be relaxed.b For these exposure classes, in addition, decompression should be checked under the quasi-permanent combination of loads.c For the crack width checks under combinations which include temperature distribution, the resulting member forces should be calculated using gross section concrete properties and self-equilibrating stresses may be ignored. d 0.2 applies to the parts of the member that do not have to be checked for decompression

prestressed together, still tends to give:

Cracking in PSC
• More sensitive to damage from corrosion than normal reinforcement due to smaller diameter and higher level of stress under which they normally operate
Therefore more onerous ruler and reflects in stricter crack control criteria for bonded tendons
• Checked under frequent OR quasi-permanent load combination depending on exposure class
