Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 3: Liquid retaining and containment structures
Also Known As:
Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 3: Liquid retaining and containment structures is a standard that provides detailed rules for the structural design of elements in containment structures. This standard focuses on structures that directly support stored liquids and granular materials and are constructed using reinforced, prestressed, plain, and/or lightly reinforced concrete.
The standard serves as a complementary document to Part 1 of Eurocode 2 and provides specific guidelines for the design of containment structures. It covers various aspects of design, including the selection of materials, design loads, structural analysis, and detailing requirements.
The objective of Eurocode 2-3 is to ensure the integrity and durability of liquid retaining and containment structures. It provides engineers with a comprehensive framework for designing these structures to safely and efficiently withstand the forces and loads imposed by the stored liquids or granular materials.
