BS EN 1992-3:2006 PDF Download

BS EN 1992-3:2006, also known as Eurocode 2, is a standard that provides additional rules for the design of concrete structures specifically for the containment of liquids or granular solids. It applies to structures made of plain, lightly reinforced, reinforced, or prestressed concrete.

This standard focuses on the design of elements that directly support the stored liquids or materials, such as the walls of tanks, reservoirs, or silos. It provides principles and application rules for ensuring the structural integrity and safety of these elements.

It is important to note that elements that support the primary elements, such as the tower structure supporting a tank in a water tower, should be designed according to the provisions outlined in BS EN 1992-1-1.

BS EN 1992-3:2006 replaces the previous standard DD ENV 1992-4:2000, providing updated guidelines and regulations for the design of concrete structures for the containment of liquids and granular solids.
