BIBM Publishes Study Results on the Impact of the New Eurocodes (2023) on Precast Design
The forthcoming Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1:2023) introduces new rules for the design of concrete structures, adopting a different approach compared to the current version. This study aims to assess the impact of the new code on the design of precast concrete elements by comparing a complete structure (a theoretical five-storey office building) designed according to both codes. The results highlight the differences in design for beams (reinforced and prestressed), floors (TT elements, hollowcore, and floor plates), columns, and foundation footing elements.
