NA+A2:2014 to BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 PDF Download

BS EN 1992-1-1 is a standard that provides general rules for the design of concrete structures, including buildings, with specific guidelines for plain, reinforced, and prestressed concrete. It covers various aspects such as shear punching resistance, ductility characteristics, and creep in plain concrete walls and columns.

The UK National Annex to BS EN 1992-1-1 supplements this standard by providing specific UK decisions where national choice is allowed. It includes changes to National Determined Parameters and incorporates updated values for punching shear resistance, particularly for slabs and column bases with shear reinforcement.

The aim of this new version of the standard is to correct errors and incorporate technical advancements. As the next generation of Eurocodes is being prepared, it is crucial to have an up-to-date and technically correct concrete Eurocode available until 2020, when the new Eurocodes will be launched.

This standard is intended for use by designers and professionals in the concrete industry who need to adhere to the latest guidelines and regulations for the design of concrete structures in the UK. It provides essential information and ensures that the structures are designed and constructed to meet the required safety and performance standards.
