• In EC2, there is no notional

horizontal load.

• Global geometric imperfections due

to out-of-plumbness of vertical

elements must be modelled by

equivalent loads in two design

situations:

Persistent design situations:

Possible extreme loading condition

of wind, imposed loads.

Accidental design situations: fire,

impact.

• Imperfection loads are quantified by three considerations:

Global analysis of building structures.

Analysis of isolated vertical members.

Analysis of floor diaphragms as horizontal elements

transferring forces to bracing members.

Only imperfection loads in global analysis are similar to

notional horizontal loads, although they are very different in

the way to be considered.

• Imperfections need not be considered for serviceability limit

states.

• The structure is assumed with inclination θl, given by:

where: θ0 is the basic value (θ0 = 1/200)

• αh is the reduction factor for height

• αm is the reduction factor for number of members:

where m is the number of vertically continuous members

in the storey contributing to total horizontal forces on the

floor.

First order elastic analysis: represents conditions at

normal service loads very well (Section 5.4)

First order elastic analysis with limited redistribution:

excluded nonlinearity, represents conditions at normal

service loads very well (Section 5.5)

First order inelastic analysis: Plastic analysis with no

geometrical nonlinearity (Section 5.6)

Second order elastic analysis: Effects of finite

deformation considered. Good representation of P- effect

(Section 5.7)

Second order inelastic analysis: Both geometrical and

material nonlinearities are considered. Model can faithfully

reflect the behavior of structures up to ultimate limit state

Comparison of shear design

• BS 8110

1. = 45o

2. BS 8110 compares shear

stresses.

3. The maximum shear

stress is limited to 5

N/mm2 or 0.8fcu,

whichever is the lesser.

4. The design shear force

must be less than the

sum of the shear

resistance of concrete

plus shear links.

• EC2

1. = 21.8o ÷ 45o

2. EC 2 compares shear forces.

3. The maximum shear capacity

of concrete VRd,max cannot be

exceeded.

4. Where the applied shear

exceeds the min shear

resistance of concrete VRd,c,

the shear reinforcement

should be capable of resisting

all the shear forces.

• Complex load combinations due to leading and accompanying

variable load cases;

• In EC0 - Eq 6.10 compared with Eq 6.10(a) and Eq 6.10(b).

• Definition of member types and the choice of suitable elements;

• Represent global geometrical imperfection load by horizontal

loads and consider in all ULS;

• Need to consider global second order effect unless structure

satisfies Clause 5.8.3.3;

• Calculation model should reflect realistic global and local

behaviour of the designed RC structure

• High strength concrete is permitted (above 50 MPa till 90 MPa);

• Mild steel 250 MPa is no longer allowed.
