Eurocode 2 - Design of Concrete Structures: Design of Fastenings for Use in Concrete
Also Known As:
BS EN 1992-4:2018 is a standard that provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for the design of fastenings in concrete structures. It is based on a series of older CEN Technical Specifications and brings together various aspects of fastener design into a single source. This standard is intended for use by the structural design community, relevant trade bodies, structural engineering consultancy services, and member associations.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a reliable and stable method for designing fastenings, which are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete components. The design method outlined in this standard is based on physical models that combine tests and numerical analysis, consistent with BS EN 1990:2002. The standard focuses on safety-related applications where the failure of fastenings could lead to structural collapse, risk to human life, or significant economic loss. It covers various types of fasteners, including cast-in fasteners, post-installed mechanical fasteners, and post-installed bonded fasteners.
BS EN 1992-4:2018 is accompanied by a UK National Annex and three Technical Reports that provide additional guidance on specific aspects of fastener design. This update consolidates and replaces a series of previous CEN Technical Specifications, reflecting the evolution of concrete fastening technologies and design practices.
